Talking to US liberals about Putin in 2023 is like talking to zionists about Yasser Arafat in 2003. Exact same googly-eyed "KILL KILL KILL" vibes.

@alrs
I don't see the equivalence.

The political-left vibe is mostly: "Russia go home."

@N6RAC The "left" vibe is "disband NATO," "end Syrian occupation", "end all global sanctions."
@alrs
I don't see that vibe at all. And I live in the SF bay area. Pretty lefty.
@N6RAC California is a single-party state governed by conservatives.

@alrs
Lars, you appear to have a much broader view of the political spectrum than what exists in the US.

Who do you hang out with to get your impression of the political left in the US?
