Hope you’ll die in pain. It’s not “his war”. It’s defence. From putin. And no, there is no ussr. only russia killing thousands of people.  And if you still disrespect countries invaded by russia in the past and name them as  “ussr stuff” then you are nothing more than a retarded egocentric hypocrite.

 

just because somebody says something you don't agree with or even find offensive doesn't give you the right to wish death on them

It looks like it's all Trump's decisions. But what if there is a deeper apparatus behind it (e.g. think tanks) to implement a few unpleasant decisions that have been planned for a long time? Everyone thinks "of course, it's that crazy Trump, you can't expect anything good". Strangely enough, very few Republicans are opposing him. I think in the end it's also about weakening the Europeans (perhaps even in collusion with Putin), but first the US is weakening itself with all the tariffs.

Yup, it’s weird when you can’t tell what side someone is on. The most obvious example of this was when people were wearing MAGA hats when the Israel/Palestine ceasefire deal was made. Usually it’s more subtle but it’s still true

As a person on the far left I think I’m more ideologically aligned with my moderate-center boyfriend than I am a N*zi, though.

Isolating America by cozying up with Russia, berating an ally, slapping tariffs onto more allies, threatening to annex Canada and Greenland…. shit is going to get serious.

Zelensky has been using the US as an ATM for his unwinnable war for too long. We have no business in this "USSR" stuff. 

Shut the fuck up

 

edit: let me explain. The US has a massive part to play for the way things are in Ukraine and Europe at the moment. The Budapest memorandum mandated Ukraine to give away its nuclear weapons to Russia, with the US (and other countries guaranteeing its security). In 2014 when Putin annexed Crimea, Obama did absolutely nothing. Trump then went in and stopped lethal military sales to Ukraine, undermining its military capacity to withstand an invasion. Then Trump got mad at Zelensky for not giving him info on Hunter Biden for him to use in his campaign. Ukraine has been teased with NATO membership and other types support by the US for decades l. Meanwhile the US started several middle eastern wars that led to millions of civilian deaths and a massive refugee crisis in Europe, which undermined the region’s security and led to the rise of the far-right. The US has been using Europe as a launchpad for its global operations for years hiding behind “securing the continent” clauses. Now they make it out as if Europe is piggybacking on US defence as if the US didn’t get anything out of this alliance. Honestly fuck American foreign policy.

Current estimates show 33,422 government employees have lost their jobs and this is just the tip of the iceberg, as agencies are just beginning to draft their mandated mass layoff plans. The IRS alone is reportedly drafting plans to cut as much as half of its 90,000-person workforce. So sad.

Shes right and she should say it

She also called James a "sycophantic frat boy bitch" which in all honestly is a great title for a Lana song but considering Lana's marriage to Swamp Man, we cannot be sure where she stands nowadays
