Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Go back to Russia
closest i've ever been to russia is reading crime and punishment
you've been convinced war = good but it doesn't have to be that way
Says the guy shilling for a country that invaded their neighbor rofl
I'm an American citizen, not a Russian. Therefore I care about American policy because it's the one I have a modicum of influence in.
Russia invaded Ukraine - they are the aggressor. However, it doesn't follow from that statement that we should send billions of dollars worth of killing machines to Ukraine.
Our actions have a) funneled over $150 billion dollars worth of $$$ from public hands (our taxes) into the hands of wealthy private corporations. Go and look up how the stock price for Lockheed Martin reacted to the invasion in 2022.
b) prolonged a war which will inevitably end with Russia taking territory. This has two consequences
like Chomsky says we are "fighting to the last Ukrainian". We are absolutely fucking the demographics of a country for the next century if not more. The rebuilding costs will be over 3x what we've spent so far - and ill eat my shoe if the benevolent Western countries are going to foot the bill.
this prolonging has caused global economic mayhem and it looks like it's going to cost the Dems the election - bringing us Trump and a further fall into fascism.
We are sacrificing the world for $$$. Capitalism is killing itself. It's as if we are trying to replicate the 20th century.
Hahahaha
From your own arguments, we are actually sacrificing $$$ for the world, not the other way around. I'm happy for my tax dollars to pay to rein in the aggression of Russia and maintain the independence of Ukraine. Fuck Russia. Slava Ukraine. We should be sending them more.
so easy to beat the war drums when the hundreds of thousands of young men dying aren't you, right?
at this point i'm convinced you're a bot because you have said nothing meaningful or original up to this point
Ask the citizens of Ukraine.
again - we are not helping ukraine out of the goodness of our hearts
the only purpose is a) funnel as much money as possible into private hands and b) make Russia bleed for every inch of territory they are going to inevitably take
i don't care what ukrainians say. they're under invasion, of course they're going to want to fight the invaders. does that mean we need to pump money onto every single country that's been subjected to injustice?
artificially propping up Ukraine so they can get destroyed for a longer period of time is not good for Ukraine. the end result is going to be russia annexing eastern ukraine. regardless of how much $$$ we give our defense contractors. why should hundreds of thousands of additional young men die for nothing?
it's absurd we throw away so many lives for nothing. stop pretending like you give a shit about the people of ukraine. we are facilitating their destruction
In your wet tankie dreams lol
you don't understand the words you use. i realize now you're probably a teenager, not a bot.
