I really don't know. That's why I'm asking.

Before the invasion, I was quite aware of plenty of "Putin is a badass, he gets shit done, he's riding a bear" fawning over yet another substitute strongman while :trump-anguish: is (temporarily, perhaps) deflated in relevance to them. I am unfortunately genetically related to a number of people that have these exact sentiments, so it isn't just very online people being edgy to trigger the libs.

I know that the United States is full of very credulous and impressionable consumer herd animals by design. What I'm wondering about is whether this current invasion and the media-wide propaganda blitz will have lasting effect on the "Putin gets shit done" sort of Russia-admiring chuds, or whether they will wake up tomorrow and completely forget about that honeymoon period, like the ever-shifting perceived enemies within a certain novel that they cite but also grossly misunderstand. :1984:

    my chud coworkers think this is the fault of hunter Biden somehow, and rail against :biden-troll: for not nuking Russia or sending troops

      Oh yeah my hogs talked about hunter too, but it was something along the lines of "its proof that ukraine's a puppet state to our oligarchs"
