Let me spell this out for you. America doesn't give a fuck about the Ukraine or its people. The only reason they support the Ukraine is because they thought they could use them to cripple Russia, remove them as a rival on the world stage and solidify their own position as the world's only superpowe...

With what army? The US Army, hopefully. We certainly spend enough on it. And how exactly is the US army going to get to the Ukraine and support itself there? This is not Desert Storm where there's a safe location for NATO to assemble forces & supplies for months before starting hostilities, not...

Why the fuck does Netanyahu's government think they can attack Iran and NOT have consequences? Oh, right - Israel has a right to defend its interests but no one else does. Motherfuckers. They know that the US will ultimately fall in line behind Israel, even for sheer electoral reasons before anythi...

A rare good showing from Smith.

Biden has some real shortcomings, and going "But Trump" just doesn't seem to be enough.

Axios I can't really post the article here, because it has a lot of links, some graphs, and formatting that won't really translate. But the general point is that the Biden campaign has a massive fundraising advantage over the Trump campaign, as they both look to November. Considering Trump's abilit...

You can keep repeating that claim all you want, it means nothing because that's not what's happening here . You can waffle on about anti-communist bullshit as much as you like as if it's somehow relevant but it changes nothing. By all means though, keep stuffing that strawman with those red herring...

That's how you get around government bans and blocks in the US and Canada (probably most of Europe too). Example - Contractor that owes the government money and they are garnishing your wages? Set up a corporation, and have that corporation bill people for your services, and then just take your pay...

Here , because although it's common knowledge what the Nazis did I couldn't express it any better myself. If you're going to cite glorious Wikipedia on the subject, scroll down to the part where the page mentions "soft core" denial by likening it to other historical atrocities. I wouldn't...

To qualify as "holocaust denial" it has to contain one or more of the following: Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" was aimed only at deporting Jews from the territory of the Third Reich and did not include their extermination. Nazi authorities did not use extermination camps and g...

Interestingly, Trump is against the Tik Tok ban. So this could help him with younger voters.

No, but apparently saying that A isn't as bad as B is the same as saying that they're flawless.

The ease of Tik Tok is that you can open it up for instant content with little effort. Adding a VPN layer is going to slow a lot of people.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting Why are people acting like being required to vote is some special Russian tyranny move instead of something also done by noted fascist dictatorships Australia, Singapore and Belgium? Here in Belgium there is compulsory voting, but voting is done ano...

I see three possibilities for 2028: - Trump wins this year. He can't run again - Trump loses this year. I doubt he can delay his trials long enough, so he's going to have to try and run from wherever he's been incarcerated. - Trump dies Either way, I can't see him being a serious candidate in 2028 ...

So that's I guess the setup to Haley 2028, hoping that by then everyone is burned out on Trump.

American domestic media coverage of the contest. "Biden has problems, he's so old, the economy is only doing REALLY good not REALLY REALLY good, he didn't instant transmission to the Kremlin and kill Putin on Feb 23, 2022 and he sometimes says things that are old man speak." "Trump i...

(or at least the acceptable ones).

They come with their own munitions and equipment.

Why would an acceptable mercenary company take such an offer?

I thought I'd get started on a thread for all of this wacky content. Right now in the Michigan Democratic primary, Biden is up against the proverbial empty chair, because of his stance on Israel and Palestine. So the ongoing story of Biden having a unified party while Trump can't get rid of Haley mi...

• You're going to get Trump elected!

That was Gretchen Whitner last night on CNN, presumably as a part of the 2028 run. No real acknowledgement of the underlying concerns of genocide, just covering for Joe Biden.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib tells fellow Democrats: reject Biden in primary The progressive US congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has called on her fellow Michigan Democrats to vote “uncommitted” in the state’s presidential primary election – at the expense of the party’s incumbent, Joe Biden – in late Fe...

So what I'm hearing is that the US and other NATO countries need to massively increase aid to Ukraine, including sending actual troops to supplement them. I haven't really heard a reason why we shouldn't do this other than "Putin will totally nuke any foreigners who set foot in Russia's Ukrain...

Also, as it is now 24/02, the conflict is now entering its third year.

Hey Gandalf, I think we're all aware at this point that you believe it's really hypocritical to be against this war unless you were exactly as against every war the US and its allies have started so unless you're going to take the next step and actually say that's why Russia should be able to Iraq ...

Russia is attempting to conquer and annex territory, while at the same time committing genocide. While not much of a difference, it's enough that Russia is doing worse then anything the US has done. No, they just fund allies who annex territory and commit genocide while advancing US interests. It's...

I noticed that, placing such a facility in Ukraine itself is just going to become a target. It would make more sense to place it on the Polish side of their border with Ukraine. Hopefully this will be clarified in the future. Looking at maps, southeast Poland has a railway crossing into Ukraine, an...
