Let me write it out more simply.

Many who support the Ukraine (uketards) do so citing there military service, or civilian life where they were trained to combat the USSR. They extrapolate that out to modern day Russia and by self admission cannot set aside those prejudices. To hold that position, yet drive a jap vehicle is the height of hypocrisy.


Ahhh...thanks for dumbing it down some.

Reading comprehension is a thing. Except on the ‘fire lol

Even though Russia hasn’t been communist for quite awhile now. But that’s ok, it was during their lifetime they trained to fight against, or were taught to hate the USSR.

But here’s the kicker. They drive Toyotas.

Do I need to explain it further?
They should hate Texas? That’s where Tacomas are made.
Where they are bolted together doesn't matter as much as where the money goes when they are sold.... The majority of the money goes to Japan... buying a Toyota bolted together in Texas is supporting Japan.....

Exactly.

And that’s cool, if you ignore wwii but hate russia because of the Cold War.

That was my point. Thanks for making it clear, as I was unable to.

Assuming I concur with your statement (I happen to disagree, but that is another matter).

Where does your medicine come from?

Your tires?

Your tools?

Your clothes?

Your food?

Point is... America was sold out a VERY LONG TIME AGO.

-------------------------------

Here is a rhetorical question.

I am currently rebuilding my John Deere LX 280 mower with a Kawasaki engine...

Would it be better to scrap it and send the raw steel to China... and buy a new mower?

Or rebuild the Kawasaki?

Money wise?

Morally?


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Your kids kids will benefit from this. Trust the plan and the like.
As a "Boomer" - you can GFY - I've made my decisions over many years.
I don't care about color, or religion. I care about how a person conducts themself.
If'n you wanna be queer, for that matter, IDC - just don't flaunt it to me!

Well, I'm a Boomer, born in 1955, and I don't like the damned Russians. Don't trust 'em. Hmm...wonder why not? Maybe it could be their history? Maybe because they were allied with our enemy Germany in the first stages of WW II until Germany double crossed them. They refused to help out the Brits and us against Japan until the literal last few weeks of the war and then only obviously to seize territory and nuclear technology from them (many don't realize that Japan also had a nuclear development program). These are the same Russians who have kept to this day nuclear armed submarines off our coasts with missiles aimed at us, and the same damned Russians who always seem to be supplying arms to every dictator that opposes us on the whole damned planet. This is the same damned Russia who has recently openly threatened the Western nations with nuclear war if any should happen to displease the great mother Russia. It doesn't make a rats ass to me if they are calling themselves communists this week or something else. Just what, pray tell, have they done in the last 30 years or so to do any good in the world? What? They have not done a damned thing much different than what the Russians have done in the 1950s, 60s 70s, 80s, etc., etc. Yeah, they granted freedom to some of the territories they seized in WW II, but only because their economy was in such bad shape they could no longer maintain control of them by force.

Do not misunderstand me, I am not particularly taking up for the government of Ukraine, that appears to have been rife with corruption. Having said that, there is probably just about as much corruption in Russia as there is in Ukraine. I cannot believe some who claim to support Russia in this that the fine upstanding virtuous Russians only wanted to clean out the despicable corrupt Ukrainian government and free the oppressed citizens. I guess by the wholesale killing of the citizens and systematic destruction of the country when they discovered they would not roll over and surrender immediately was the only way to do so. Ukraine may very well have had some corruption issues within it's government, but they were in no way any threat to Russia. Maybe Putin was jealous as he thought they were more corrupt than he? What is beyond obvious is that Russia, communist or not, wanted to take the warm water ports and grain production of of a free and sovereign Ukraine by unprovoked military force. Do I want to see U.S. troops involved in this? Absolutely not. Do I want to see Russia get the [bleep] kicked out of them over this? Damned right! How many Ukrainian subs are in the Gulf, and off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts with nuclear missiles aimed at us? None. How many Russian? I don't pretend to know, but I have no doubt they are there and we surely have ours deployed as well as a deterrent. I also have no doubt that if we had no deterrent forces, we would not exist. I don't want to go to war with anyone, and I don't want anyone to go to war against me, either. I would really like to see this resolved and soon. However, if the Russians persist, I hope they pay dearly for it.

Lol

How much money taken From me at gunpoint has been given to Russia, and how much to the Ukraine? You can argue semantics and who is more corrupt all day long and I don’t give a flying fûck. Where’s my money going, to whom, and why? If you can answer those questions and still support Zalensky and his ball lickers you’re quite the contortionist.

Do you own a revolver?

Or a Colt 1911?

You might want to put 6 or 8 rounds "Center Mass" into your television set.

No offense intended... only a helpful suggestion.

Feel free to disregard...

We never had a cold war with Japan. We've had military bases there since WWII, and they've been an ally.

Not so with Russia.

The mistake most people are making is assuming that Ukraine is a country with a long heritage…..it’s not!

If you hate Russians you by extension hate Ukrainians because irregardless of what some of them like to think, they are one and the same.

Two different cultures without exact parallels but in many ways Russia today as a protectionist nationalistic country and more traditional European views is more similar to 1945 America today than what we are compared to what we were then.

Bingo. Well said.

Ok, cool. Got it. “I like giving the emperor my money because xyz.”

Yet, a not insubstantial subset that drive jap vehicles say “fûck Russia” based on ideals that don’t hold any more water than the “fûck Japan” guys.

It’s hypocrisy.

Whoa. Very well said.

The Bolsheviks MSM poisoned the boomers minds to the point they accept that Germany and Japan and Italy have changed but Russia hasnt and is still the enemy, not mentioning that the communist USSR was vanquished by Reagan decades ago.

Too bad most boomers are too stupid to realize the cabal knew long ago that to keep the peoples eyes off of them and their preferred new world leader, Chyna, they had to create a Boogyman for the folks to be focused on.

Thanks Boomer! You not caring while the other side has and does care and pushes an agenda is exactly why we are where we are. It’s not been an equal playing field and your mentality is to blame.

The left lives for color, non Christian religions, gender, “sexual orientation” open borders. Burying your head in the ground professing not to care while that’s all the left cares about as do most of those minority groups has been a huge mistake. The only people that don’t see life and society through that prism are gullible whites.

I see. So a Cold War where an adversary might do something engenders a righteous prejudice, whereas an enemy nation engaged in a hot war deserves our compassion and money.

Did Japan ever try to put missiles in Cuba?

I’ll play along to make my point.

Did russia torture and eat US servicemen? Did russia attack a U.S. naval base? The list would be longer if I cared to belabor my point.

I’m not saying russia is not an adversary. I’m not saying they are “good” in whatever scale you want to use. My point is simply thus, if the support for the Ukraine is based on hate and mistrust of Russia, then to drive a jap vehicle is hypocritical. And that could include German cars as well.

Selective outrage is always funny.
