    Lol, sure they are. That is why both spend so much time with Kim Jung Un and Xi. Putin is literally a card carrying commie. However, I noticed a distinct lack of criticism. Home office didn't authorize it? Man, how commie of them.

    Living under an oppressive, Communist regime is worse than Fasism. In either, people lose their rights. But under Communism, the economic conditions are worse. Communist countries will always fail under the economic strain it self creates.

    Communist isn't the pattern Trump is following. His actions are following the patterns of a benevolent dictator. And that's more Fascist than Communist. A benevolent dictator isn't a fan of communism because bad economy reflects badly on the leader.

    I'm also curious what Supreme Court case gives Trump carte blanche with the Alien Enemy Act? Can anyone cite it with the carte blanche passage?

    Can anyone also cite where in the Constitution and/or relevant court case that states due process is dependent on immigration status?

    The decision is thoroughly researched and documented with case law. Judge really dug into it and left little doubt as to his reasoning and his decision. Lot of specific points someone would have to refute on appeal from what I've heard/read from people much smarter than me

    Every geopolitical expert will tell you, as did the late Stephen F. Cohen, formerly our greatest Russia expert: "Putin is profoundly anti communist." Cohen was professor emeritus of Russian studies at Princeton and NYU. John Meatsheimer (Univ of Chicago) would agree. Glenn Diesen (Norway), Jacques Baud (Switzerland), Greg Copley (Australia), Alex Mercouris ,(The Duran), Scott Ritter, Jeffrey Sachs etc.

    If you, AzCat and VA had any common sense regarding foreign policy you would have understood that the US should have worked with Russia to contain China. Instead Obama (2014 overthrow of UKR president) and Biden (instigated Ukraine war) forced Russia into an alliance with China. The Central Asian Republics were handed to America after the USSR dissolved and could have been used to contain China but Biden horrified them and sent terrorists into their countries with the Afghanistan exit. The CAR's had to turn to Russia for protection. Putin suggested they start learning Russian as a second language instead of English.

    Biden's foreign policy in Africa was so horrendous that the continent wants little to do with the US at this point. Our loss is Russia and China's' gain. Russia has agreed to build a nuclear reactor in Niger after the US refused. Russia will electrify Western Africa. Win for Russia, win for Africa.

    The insane neocons assigned Democrats and many Republicans their opinions on Putin. How's that working out? Even India has moved towards the China-Russia center of gravity.

    Right here
    I am coming to like you, Vegas.

    In the myriad times that Trump supporters have been asked who should decide who can be deported, not one has even had the courage to acknowledge the question. You not only acknowledged it, you blasted off to full on monarchy with this thing: “Trump can deport any person at any time for any reason!”

    I notice that is not a criticism of Putin but a long defense of him. Was that what the home office told you to say? It is funny how you can't lodge even one criticism of the man. Almost as if that wasn't allowed. Did they threaten to not give you your daily potato if you criticized the boss?

    Russia has
    I wouldn't want to live in Russia. Viewed as a whole it is very diverse/multicultural. The more multicultural a country is the more authoritarian it's leaders must be to keep people from spilling each others blood. Examples include the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires and the domains of the Haps ergs and Romanoffs. Let's keep in mind all that America has done to destabilize Russia, including the financing of Chechen terrorists. No I would not want to live in Putin's Russia, although the Russian people recently elected him with 88% of the vote in an election with less fraud then you see in America.

    Imagine if Putin had been America's president over the last 25 years. Our country would be much better off. Less debt, smaller gov't. Africa and the Central Asian Republic would be on very friendly terms with us. Our military would be in better shape. China would be better contained. We wouldn't have had a Democrat administration working with NG9'd to import 3rd world illegals. Corrupt oligarchs like George Soros would be prosecuted.

    Putin wanted Russia's economy to be integrated into Western Europe. He wanted Russia to join NATO. He said he wanted to be our friend. But insane neocons didn't want that and their eyhno-cousins and leftists in the media got you to become irrationally Russophobic. How's that working out?

    That still wasn't a criticism of Putin. Just another long defense of him. I get it: don't criticize the guy who pays the bills.

    I agree. Vegas actually responds with an answer. Everyone else just says "but he is a gang member!" without actually responding to the legality of these issues.
