That's not a meme so much as a quote.

I read your comment at least 5 times and still have no idea what you are saying.
[–]faintlight 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Sorry, I listened to a youtube while I was driving, in a long chain of youtubes. I did not remember everything I heard. The quote on that picture reminded me of the sentiment of the Christmas speech, and I knew I had not heard the whole of the Christmas speech, so I was guessing that the quote on the pic came from that particular speech.

[–]wiiya -1 points0 points1 point  (1 child)
I'm probably gonna get banned in the next 10 minutes, and I hope Donald can reason out a good deal for Americans, but I don't see how Russian quotes on policy are furthering American interests.
[–]md2nA58eYcmpjBRs7xt8 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
It's a meme on the internet that matches up with the general opinion here. Why are you taking this so seriously? Putin has one quote people find agreeable and suddenly he is the messiah? Are you being serious?

And Russia is not just him. I like Russian people. I'm sure I have distant Russian relatives just from where some of my grandparents came from. Why should I have something against them?
[–]faintlight 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
I do not know if he is a standard for quality; I don't know if the politicians who deal with him every day would even know. But if I had to choose between globalism and him... there are priorities.

Y'all take shit too far.. The vast majority of Muslims (all that I have met) left the middle East seeking refuge or a better life in America and live their lives as law abiding citizens without any of that nonsense.

No because outside of Austin and chucks of Houston, Californians don't like Texas.
[–]richard-io 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
Yeah, got that. And vice versa. The point is that there is an increase in Californians moving to Texas and trying to push their anti-2nd Amendment, anti-American values on the state and that's going to ruffle some feathers.
[–]Conquerful -5 points-4 points-3 points  (9 children)

Bolding your text doesn't make it true. It only shows that you are insecure and feel the need to shout your beliefs rather than argue them. We'll be over here with our highest national GDP, educated diverse population, and sunny glowing beaches. The only people leaving California can't afford to live here.

[–]Conquerful 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
I don't think people hate Californians because they are fond and proud of their lovely state. And I don't think everyone else hates California. That is a lie. An alternative fact, if you prefer. We are the most populous state and the most visited state in the country, ahead of New York and Hawaii. Half of the highest cost-of-living cities in the country are in California. So I think envious is a better word than hate.

[–]Charlie--Dont--Surf 24 points25 points26 points  (6 children)
Just because a thug makes a valid point doesn't make him any less of a thug.
Vladimir Putin is not our friend. Putin is an ex-KGB autocrat who steals territory from his neighbors, imprisons and assassinates his opponents, and stages photographs of himself to distract the world from the fact he runs a rusted kleptocracy wholly dependent on fossil fuels. It's all very Clintonian.
More than anything, Putin is a predator. What all predators have in common is that they are skilled at recognizing and exploiting weakness. Note the fruits of Obama's "Russian Reset," one of the cornerstones of his foreign policy agenda. Obama thought that by playing nice with Putin, the Russian autocrat would behave himself and pursue policies of mutual benefit. What happened, predictably, was that Putin correctly read Obama as a chump, and he deftly exploited the full measure of the mauevering space that the naive US administration ceded to him: he plunged Ukraine into a permanent state of civil war, stole Crimea, strengthened his relationship with Iran, outflanked him on Syrian chemical disarmament amidst the "red line" fiasco, and has now extended Russian military lethality into the heart of the Arab world.
Such is what we sow when we misread international predators. I would hate to see President Trump make the same mistake. Putin is not our friend- he is an antidemocratic strongman in the mold of generations of Old World autocrats. The fact that happens to also be of an anti-globalist persuasion does not make him our friend.
[–]thunderclapMikeTX -11 points-10 points-9 points  (4 children)
The core difference between Obama who was a weak, unskilled 'chump' and Trump is. Trump has known Putin for decades from doing business deals in Russia. The russian people like Trump and trump has shown strength.
Putin knows Trump will let him do what he wants because he feels him and Trump are somewhat the same. This is good for us.

        This has been proven false
        This is what he actually said
        “
        On the whole, the adaptation of guest workers is a separate and comprehensive issue. We must create the conditions for immigrants to normally integrate into our society, learn Russian and, of course, respect our culture and traditions and abide by Russian law. In this regard, I believe that the decision to make learning the Russian language compulsory and administer exams is well grounded. To do so, we will need to carry out major organisational work and introduce corresponding legislative amendments. I'd like to ask the Federal Migration Service and other departments to submit specific proposals to the government. These proposals should be openly discussed with ethnic minorities as well as public and religious organisations. This should be mandatory for all guest workers regardless of their future employment."
        [–]poppajay 13 points14 points15 points  (20 children)
        We may never know for sure whether Putin said those things but you're citing Snopes. You might as well be citing CNN.
        Either way, it's the message that resonates, not the question of whether Putin said it or not.
        [–]bankerman 28 points29 points30 points  (1 child)
        No. False is false. You can't lie just because you like the "narrative." That's what liberals do. You literally just said that the truth is irrelevant as long as the narrative sounds good. Think about that.
        [–]Okatis 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
        Just on this point, regardless of whether in this particular case there was a transcript from that date and the quote was accurate (looking at the piece it appears it's a liberal adaptation of an earlier speech), Snopes is known to carefully manipulate both their ratings and their articles despite evidence to the contrary.
        Even if we take the simple example of whether California was responsible for the 2.8mil popular vote lead for Hillary it's marked with 'mixed' rating yet they admit it's true. Or the article on the claims about the Aleppo situation where it's marked False yet it cites evidence from second-hand reports sourced from an organization known by locals to be a sham in addition to these reports displaying photographs of allegedly bombed buildings that were in fact already in that state previously. Along with spending two thirds attempting to discredit a journalist rather than addressing any of the various other important issues raised. From it there was one piece of worthwhile info. I take everything there with a grain of salt.
        Also worth noting they used legal power to prevent archive.org from archiving pages on their site (different than a robots.txt exclusion), so any changes to articles are hidden from public scrutiny.
        [–]zzzebreh 23 points24 points25 points  (15 children)
        Then to your point if it can't be proven then it ought not to be shared as fact
        [–]poppajay 0 points1 point2 points  (13 children)
        I'm sure OP's posted the quote in good faith. As I said, we might never know if Putin said it or not but certainly sounds like something he might say.
        I know you're desperately trying to set a trap but really, what's the point? Trump has already won and you should be happy.
        [–]zzzebreh 11 points12 points13 points  (12 children)
        If you don't know what he has or has not said then how do you know it's something he might say? Which is real, the Putin of the FB Sharebait or the Putin of the Russian Federation?

        You seem to think you are in a srs bsnss debate sub. You aren't. Here, we shitpost and be merry, not engage in passionate arguments over if a quote is right or not.
        At the end of the day, this is like one of those memes where the quote is misattributed, the reality is that nobody gives a fuck about whether Vlad said it or not, we are just having a good time.
        Furthermore, terms like gaslighting don't belong here, but are better left in /r/redacted or whichever other srs bsnss sub you frequent.
        Now please do lose the stick up the ass and enjoy the place. Or don't.

        Putin deals with a terror supporting journalist: https://youtu.be/wB9ZQ5doRi8
        "If you want to become an Islamic radical and have yourself circumcised, I invite you to come to Moscow," Putin said.
        "I would recommend that he who does the surgery does it so you'll have nothing growing back, afterward," he added.

        That journalist wasn't supporting terror, Jesus. The war in Chechnya saw thousands of innocents killed and war crimes committed by both sides. He was asking whether Putin thought the cost was worth the gain... and he was threatened for it. How can anyone who believes in American ideals support that?
        [–]SpaceRaccoon -1 points0 points1 point  (2 children)
        Because the bleeding heart journalists love to defend so called moderate freedom fighters, especially at Russia's expense, and Putin has no interest in entertaining such a narrative. These are the belligerents involved in Chechnya:
        Was the war worth defeating an Islamist Caliphate on Russia's borders, involved in kidnapping, prostitution, organ trafficking, and more? Indubitably.
        Putin's response was harsh but that's his style. No sugar coating it.

        The atrocities committed by the Russian Federation in Grozny were vile and unacceptable. The fact is, we must demand more from our governments than we do from terrorists.

          The first part, I agree with. If someone prefers sharia law, then yeah, go away.
          But I disagree with the rest, and don't see how that next part even follows from the first part. Nor am I clear as to what counts as to what a "minority" is in this context. On what basis does a democratic country, our country, decide it does "not need" some of it's people?
          The minorities are the people of your country, therefore the laws proportionally belong to them as well. They also have the same rights as individuals. We can't ignore the very real victories of of the civil rights movement.

          Russia can be very cocky politically with respect to other nations. I think that happens when the oil price gets too high and triggers euphoria from all the money pouring in. Also the Russian tourists sometimes behave like uncivilized pigs when they travel to other countries, disrespectful towards local customs and to other guests. Some areas even declare Russian free tourist zones. Ruble collapse severely limited the amount of foreign travel they do. So yea Russians are great but there some things they can work on.

          No, he's not. The difference between war crimes and the horrific accidental results of war is intention. Bombing hospitals and ambulance convoys deliberately is a war crime. Targeting civilians is a war crime. Killing civilians accidentally, or destabilizing a country, is a bad thing. But it's not a war crime.

              The original globalist thought came by profiting from splitting the white race against themselves. The Cold War had so many people making huge profit. That profit became self sustaining. They try to replicate it on smaller and smaller scales. Jews vs Arabs, whites vs blacks, capitalists vs communists. If I owned a factory that could handle multi billion dollar contracts you bet that cash flows would be ensured. How many global problems exist because we can utilize our military to our benefit; even at others detriment?? Of course we are where we are as a nation. The military industrial complex, financial firms, lawyers.... They are all connected and have been controlling the government for 50 years.

              [–]sfrantzisGRC 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
              his motive is that he wants NATO to leave Russia alone and not turn the countries on Russia's borders into hostile states (like Ukraine, Georgia etc). He also wants to get on with growing Russia's economy and defeating terrorists. It's perfectly logical. In fact this is what Trump is planning to do... and indeed this is largely why he is coming up against so much opposition.

              They ask because they haven't forgotten Putin's crimes against humanity.

              True. But he takes nationalist common sense stand like this as well. But he can be a little heavy handed militarily.
