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.
