#1 So everyone who said NATO expansion was batshit crazy and would provoke Russia must be a Putin apologist too

#2 ^ Yeah, pretty much. Either you're in favor of a full-on war with Russia or you're a Putinbot. Just try posting anything that points out the Nazis in Ukraine and watch it get censored.

#4 Having the taste of his taint on your tongue, does, however.

If you obsess over perceived flaws in Ukrainian society and ignore Putin's escalation and final decision to roll tanks, you're a Putin apologist.

If you blame Putin's adventurism on everyone but Putin, you're a Putin apologist.

#5 I guess Kissinger must be a Putin apologist too.

#9 ^ "Further, the Wilson administration determined that any written materials violating the act or otherwise “urging treason” were “nonmailable matter,” and Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson ordered local postmasters to report any suspicious materials. Along with Attorney General Thomas Watt Gregory, Burleson led the way in aggressively enforcing the Espionage Act of 1917 to limit dissent.

"By 1918, in actions that seriously threatened First Amendment freedoms and that likely would not be upheld today, 74 newspapers had been denied mailing privileges."
