GROUND RULE: This thread is for discussion of America First's proclaimed allegiance to Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation. It is NOT for political sperging about the ongoing war.
Remember kids, Gator says no sperging... or else!
Since the beginning of the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine, Nick Fuentes has embarked on a bizarre obsession with defending Russia's actions and idolising Russian President Vladimir Putin. Naturally, AF sycophants, who completely lack any and all independent thought, have parroted his views and talking points and it has now become a mainstream element of the movement. Now regardless of which side is 'right' in the war, it doesn't seem like a winning strategy to weigh in on this heated foreign matter.
To quote an article written by Business Insider from March:
"Nick Fuentes offered prayers for Russian forces and praise for President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine less than two weeks after Republican lawmakers attended a conference he hosted. He made the comments about Russia during an episode of his "America First" show that aired on March 10."
- In and of itself, it's a bit weird for an 'America First' movement to be openly cheerleading a nation that is one of America's biggest adversaries on the world stage. One would assume an isolationist stance of indifference would be more optical.
"Fuentes opened the show by mocking calls made by Vice President Kamala Harris and other Western leaders for a war crimes investigation into Russia's actions in Ukraine, where Putin launched a full-scale invasion on February 24. Fuentes dismissed concerns about potential war crimes, despite reports of Russian forces attacking civilian targets, including a maternity hospital in Mariupol and two schools and private residences in the Chernihiv region."
- Again, it strikes me as bizarre to weigh in on potential Russian war crimes when you're running a movement focused on internal US political issues. But I dunno, maybe denying war crimes is peak optics?
"We continue to support czar Putin in the war effort," Fuentes said, adding: "We want to keep our brave soldiers in the white, blue, and red in our prayers and in our thoughts as they continue to liberate Ukraine from the Great Satan and from the evil empire in the world, which is the United States."
- Now that's a banger of a quote, lmfao. How can you be 'America First' yet call America 'evil' and cheer for its enemy?
"Later in the show, Fuentes said Putin's actions in the war are "not aggression" and are "not unreasonable," repeating the baseless claim that Russia is trying to de-Nazify Ukraine. He also claimed there are "no extensive civilian casualties," despite the United Nations saying on Monday that there had been more than 600 civilian deaths."
- Here we see Nick, the Mexican child civnat leader of the mestizo race, throwing the nationalist white warriors of Azov Battalion under the bus. Not based.
In Conclusion
I personally do not get it. I don't understand why a movement that is all about putting America first is cheerleading for Russia and making highly inflammatory comments publicly about an issue that has zero relevance to the domestic issues it purports to be about. Whatever you think about Putin, Russia or the war, it's just not good optics to be praising a war, praising a regime widely regarded as being hostile to the United States, and denying the humanitarian impact on Ukrainian civilians. Your average American conservative, let alone your average American voter, is going to find these remarks deeply distasteful.
It seems like all AF has achieved is taking a portion of the American right from Israel First to Russia First, while simultaneously deriding their own country as a 'Great Satan'. I'm not seeing the 'America First' in any of this.
