The mouth of Sauron has spoken
Russia Imposes Entry Ban on 200 US Citizens

...the list includes generals & advisers to Ukrainian Ministry of Defense,senators, the US Deputy Secretary of Justice, heads of defense enterprises, White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre, as well as the brother and sister of US president Joe Biden...

That's like Mordor officially banning the entry of Aragon, Gandalf, Eomer, and every damn elf from Lothlorien.

They've done this before, sanctioning everyone...except reich wingers...almost as if they know which side of the bread is buttered.

What? Joe Biden’s press secretary can’t go to Russia?? Way to threaten her with a good time!

Perfect example of how US pop culture serves as indirect but effective propaganda against whomever the government wants you to hate at the moment.

Now Putin is not only New Modern Hitler but an evil wizard as well. It's cool that he's this all-powerful embodiment of evil in one sentence, and then an idiot doomed to fail in the next.

By identifying real-world politics with black-and-white fantasy fiction, we eliminate nuance, inconvenient facts, and the ability to think clearly.

No, it's a perfect example of seeing real-life evil and comparing it to fictional evil because there are parallels. Fiction imitating real-life.

Sauron wasn't all-powerful and throughout Tolkien lore, he does all sorts of stupid shit and is ignorant of all sorts of things, Angering Eru Ilúvata, Messing with Elves, Trying to backstab Ungoliant, He didn't know about the shire. He didn't know Gollum had the ring. Also, he wasn't a wizard he was a fallen Maia. So not only do you know nothing about the Russian/Ukraine conflict you know nothing about Lord Of The Ring Either.

Again you know nothing about Tolkien lore none of the good races are perfectly good. Men are weak to power. Elves are often arrogant and short-sighted and Dwarves tend to be greedy and stubborn and impulsive and the history of all three races is filled with wicked deeds and flawed characters. However, they are contrasted with a much more overt evil as with this conflict. This doesn't kill nuance it puts it into perspective that as messed up as we are Putin and his cronies are much worst. You don't understand this conflict and you don't understand Tolkien's lore.

....?  it's justa fact?  Russia responded to us sanctions by sanctioning libs, exclusively. There's no red threat, that's just what the paper bear did. They were on state tv gushing and dreaming about the return of their boyfriend trump - to solve all of their problems..and running endless clips of tucker carlson, their favorite us tv host, in between loudly dreaming about nuking ukraine and suggesting that the real problem is that they were just going too easy on the rest of the world - it's a shitshow....lol. I, personally, think that the people of russia (and china too) have more in common with the people of the us than we all have separating us, but gl with that shit, in this political ecosphere. A cynical person might suggest that various dictators know that better than most people, and that their entire job is to prevent the various groups from realizing it.

...and it's not as if the reich wingers, for their part, even try to hide the fact that they're in the tank for putinism. They -promise- to be in the tank for putinism, if you'll just elect them. They campaign on it, so, ofc russia loves it...?

What the fuck are you on about you loon?

And if Putin’s ideology were in any way Red, that might have actually meant something. Or have you not updated your understanding of Russia since Gorbachev was still in power and it was still the United Soviet Socialist Republic? An authoritarian kleptocracy does not Communism make.

I have to admit it's weird for me, tail end of the cold war, to hear that laughing at the misadventures of a poorly run criminal organization pretending to be a state is taken as a political position, somehow.

On this end, it's just me giggling about the worlds most inept and transparent crooks?
