This is bipartisan. I remember when Obama continued to send military aid to Egypt DURING their military coup, which is also illegal under US law. No one gave a shit.

Yokels all over rural America were up in arms over the idea that their jobs producing small but integral parts of a weapons system that would eventually go to a strongman using force to stay in power might dry up. No politician will ever dare threaten to damage the military-industrial complex for economic reasons alone.

Right. Trump used a computer. Because he needed to be convinced to commit a crime. That all of the previous administrations have done. Sure.

You are right that Ukraine is a puppet and its men are sacraficial lambs used to try and weaken Russa.

Russia is defending itself against NATO encroachment.

The idea that Russia is trying to liberate anyone is absurd and laughable.

I remember the Cold War. The USSR was bad because they were communists.

Then, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Western governments and corporations paid the corrupt, now former communists, who were in charge of industries, to hand over resources in ways that would not help Russia and turned Russia into an Oligarchy right away. At the same time, agreements were made about NATO (which should have been defunct the moment the USSR fell, given its mission) and about how close a NATO country would be to Russian borders.

Then, when Russian people were upset about the way the West was exploiting their resources and violating agreements, a strongman gained power by “standing up to the West,” and suddenly, Russia was bad again. Putin would not be in power if he did not have the West as a foil.

The West has certainly been Russophobic my entire life, and it’s crazy to see my fellow citizens in the US continue to fall for the same old tricks.

Who could have guessed that the war of attrition the West was confident it would win wouldn’t end as they thought? I guess they haven’t sacrificed enough Ukrainian men, but it won’t stop them from doing the same thing to every country Russia borders.

His pedals just tweeted that they are out too. Also, Keller Williams did this looping shit 20 years ago, and it was more interesting.

I bet you are a “blue no matter who” voter.

Thank you, corrupt Union leaders, for being just like the oligarchs you are supposed to oppose.

I love seeing people cry about carts not being “put away” in parking lots. Put that energy toward pressuring the multinational conglomerate that is undoubtedly mispricing items and stealing from employees’ paychecks to hire more people to patrol the lot for carts.

Taiwan? The military dictatorship until the mid-1990s, founded by a warlord who slaughtered thousands of civilians? Do you mean that Taiwan? We have to protect that at all costs; in no way is it just a way to expand our military footprint next to a superpower. No, not Ukraine. Taiwan!

“We should start a domestic education program allowing the working class to learn how to clean the gears for free if they spend 4 years rounding up kids to throw in there”.

It’s been like that since the start of the war on terror. The US can label anyone (including US citizens) they want as a terrorist and kill them and their family despite no due process.

They are covering up the fact that I chopped his head off weeks ago. Prove me wrong, GOP.

Perhaps this is the largest mass execution of Indians, whereas the Trail of Tears killed more in total?

He certainly is the type to have owned slaves and ordered the largest massacre of Native Americans in history, so I can sort of understand what his dementia is trying to get at.

They were too busy helping the British systematically starve millions of Indians.

PS: There were no good guys in WW2.

Thank god there hasn’t been a US “pivot to Asia” in foreign policy promised since before Obama got sidetracked by ramping up the GWoT, or this would have been interfered with for sure.
