America hasn't had to deal with the recieving end of Imperialism for almost 250 years. (its been on the giving end of it for the last century) America is in no position, not Trump, not Elon, not Biden, not the dude that just wants to grill. None of them are in a position to tell someone not to fight for freedom, when there is an actual threat of losing ones freedom and sovereignty. Most western countries have long forgotten what the struggle is all about because they've had their freedom for centuries.

Ukraine's fight has been going on for centuries, but 2022-Present has been the defining moment of that fight.

If you aren't going to help, shut the fuck up, and fuck off and let the rest of us handle it. Ukraine isn't going to stop fighting for its existence just because Part of America is tired and upset about superficial things like egg prices. If America isn't going to carry the torch of Liberty, there are plenty of others willing to take it from here.

Im not convinced that China will ultimately stay "allied" to Russia. the CCP is incredibly obstinent, and Russians are incedibly racist, they hate China, they hate the fact that China has been taking over east asia (including the colonized parts of Russia) for years up to this, they've fought serious border wars against each other. they say they're allies, but its only for the camera, the only reason Russia isn't openly regarded as a Chinese satellite state, is the nuclear arsenal. Russia's economy is smaller than Italy, it has a relatively large population of old and poor people, its military is eviscerated, and it's used up pretty much all of the diplomatic capital it had in the world by going on an imperialist genocide.

and until Im proven wrong, the Republican party in the US seems to have nothing but hatred for China, and nothing but footsie flirtation for Russia. I think I read somewhere back during Trump's first term that they were trying to "court Russia to be America's ally so that in the future they could both fight China" Not giving a F about how Russia is seen by Europe, (and in hindsight other than getting the nukes off the table, its a braindead alliance plan, Russia cooked itself trying to colonize Ukraine, and pissed off europe to the point they started re-arming, making them the military power of the continent again. Strategically, if we're disregarding the openly kleptocratic tendancies of Mobsters and Oligarchs running both countries, making people like Putin, Trump, and Musk ridiculously wealthy... Russia has nothing to contribute to America other than taking 3000 nukes out of the equation, and guess what, China and America still have enough to wipe each other out)

Israel and America are largely the same entity.

Iran and Russia are diplomatically, the same entity, Russia's closest ally isn't the fake, for the cameras relationship with China, their closest Ally is Iran

I dont have any interest in conversing with people who are making jokes about annexing my country, or trying to shove evangelical horseshit into everyone's mouth. Theres no conversation to be had. I'm 7 or 8 years past trying to talk to most of them.

Good news: Russian Apologist and certified Idiot Ramaswarmy loses his Job Bad news: Elon isnt going anywhere

Education substituted by tabloid news media and dumb chud podcasts. All worshipping people in suits using big words

I heard it once before under the context of insurgency in Ukraine.. but didn't know where it originally came from.

It essentially alludes to insurgency. The resistance knows who the enemy is. But the Regime doesn't know who the insurgents are. So if they attack the wrong people. They just waste their time and generate more resistance.

Sorry, Thanks to American Exceptionalism, (and Americans misunderstanding what that term even means). They will never, ever, ever ever ever admit that they are wrong.

The next logical step is to start seeing rambling about "god is with us, jesus is on our side" etc.

"Spend more on defense. Meet your obligations to the alliance or I wont help you"

"But we need trade with you to reach that obligation, Tariffs will only move the goalpoasts further"

"not my fucking problem.... hey, here's a thought, you give us the territory and resources, formally, and then we'll take care of it, then it wont be your problem"

these are not serious people.

Mentally ill country should be Physically Ill too.

people insulted the french 20 years ago for being obstinent, arrogant, and pointlessly contrary. French hostility towards America in general was something Americans would mock,

Turns out, the French knew what was up and were probably better prepared for this eventuality than any other of Americas Allies.

WW2 - Democratic America and Communist Russia, joining together to fight Fascist Europe

whatever this shit is - Fascist Russia and Fascist America scheming over how they'll divide the world.

We're at day 2. Europe sat on its hands with a wait and see attitude. Meanwhile, In Washington, Trumps allies were throwing hands into seig heil gestures...

Europe needs to prepare for war, if Donny's date with Putin doesn't result in Putin fucking off, then no one is going to stop Russia, but Europe.

the fact that theres an argument in favor of that is insane. but its where we are.

I'm Canadian, I spent the last 3 years mentally numbing myself and accepting the possibility that we could formally be at war with Fascist Russia in my lifetime, it's not that much of a gear shift to use that same consideration that there could be a war with a Fascist American faction too. Except the whole, My country turns into Frozen Iraq and has to deal with an American occupation. (Chechnya without the beards?)

where were you when the billionares were lining up to kiss the ring of the man who was given clemency and immunity from literally murdering all of them with government spook squads?

too late to solve the problems by legal means, sure.

but if they make a move on anyone, like for real. there's gonna be bodies on both sides. they aren't the only ones with weapons. and worse for them, they've convinced some people they have nothing to lose now.

Nah, there's gonna be bodies on both sides if they think they're gonna try any of that shit. Something the KKK Nazi Russian Mafia lover fucks forgot, they aren't the only ones packing heat.

My biggest fear now, is the Republicans trying to do something so outrageous, that someone of some importance finally fucking snaps. And there's a legitimate coup. Like Military action on Panama or Greenland, that is legitimate civil war sparking stuff.

no joke, I'd take the last time any day of the fucking week, the world is infinitely worse position for a manchild and an entourage of tech fascists to be taking power, we're essentially already in the opening stage of WW3 because of Putin's fantasies.

Is it me, or does this seem like a deliberate gaffe to rile up the opposition.
send everyone into a tailspin over a worthless fake "gotcha!'

thanks. lol. I thought something was wrong with it but was too busy to check

2016-2020 was the time of alternative facts 2025-2029 is the time of alternative reality
