  • Both likely. The Republicans who dislike Trump enough to vote Democrat would probably prefer RFK, as well as the republicans who dislike Trump but were gonna vote for him because they would never vote Democrat. The republicans who want to see a R president no mater what will still vote Trump no matter their thoughts on him but little is gonna change their vote. He'll probably pull a lot of middle right voters too, middle left maybe not so much. My worry is the coalition of republicans and independents who hate trump is only growing and now they have a candidate who's not a democrat and also not trump.

    Its kinda funny hes basically only gonna siphon Republicans, but that still doesn't mean only Trump voters these days, interesting times.

  • Those cheering ones aren't even the ones funding their own peace, they could end up electing the most war like or even socialist leaders of all time, but if Trump wins, Ukraine likely falls and Europe lose any sense of security they have. Maybe thats part of why they vote the way they do, nothing they do will change their security outcome, they just have to wait for America to see what will happen.

  • My boss and I were talking about this and all it did was have us undermine the support the US gives Isreal. Weather you like the funding or not Ukraine recieving war money from the US is probably one of if not the most 'just' place war money goes as contradictory as something like war and justice can be.

  • Well that's the problem, isn't it? Recent wars have shown that the defender usually has a strong advantage. The US could keep its borders (and any allied countries) safe for a fraction of its current budget

    Yes they could take care of all of their own needs for a lot less, but now they're taming care of Europes needs too. Thats the whole point, there would be a West Russia by now if the US only took care of its own borders. So the exorbitant budgets the citizens have to fund are benefitting average Europeans more than average Americans and of course the capitalist class above all of them. But the conclusion is undeniable, American workers suffering subsidizes the military which is now providing european security.

  • Nowhere did I claim Biden was fucking up, only they people defend everything around him for no reason. This is good news for workers, what we're upset about that the fed is going to make it our problem so that any benefits are barely going to be felt by us. The unemployment number didnt even move so its not like less people are out of work now too. The economy grew due to worker effort and now were gonna get slapped with higher rates for it.

  • And you blame Europe for America’s bad financing and decisions to arm their opponents?

    Never blamed Europe for anyting

    America doesn’t do things so that other countries don’t have to sacrifice as much… why do people think countries and companies have feelings

    Never said thats why they do those things, only that what they do causes those things, which is does. The more burdern of an European war America takes on, means the less Europe has to take on.

    America runs on military so they need to keep demand up, US weapons companies spend money on lobbying and politicians who can affect US military outcomes own stocks in those companies

    Why would politicians cut down on military budget when every increase in it also increases their net worth?

    Yes those are the problems that keep feeding the majority of the tax Americans have to pay to things that do not improve their welfare, notice how those are both independent of voting and effect the people who fund the parties and candidates themselves, its not like Americans haven't tried anything, the protest against the war in the middle east was the largest protest in American history at the time it happened.

    Now that those funds are improving someone else's welfare, instead of someone else profits, I had though, I guess mistakenly, the people who it's benefiting would maybe help the people from which the benefit came with things their country cannot do, just like how their country helped with things the whole of Europe could not do.

  • The global ruling U.S capitalists, and their compradores, plus their total professional managerial classes and small propertarians would benefit by that logic

    How very nice for the 10% or so of the population that benefits and was never suffering in the first place. It's nice to know that the rich in the US still get a piece of the pie.

    Also, thats how every capitalist country works though, look at the industry in France or even countries in Scandinavia do the same thing to Africa. Their populations dont get much if anything from it, but their capitalist class does. None of that diminishes the problems either population feels, and we all know these capitalists are barely paying tax if at all. They practically not even citizens of wherever they choose to be.
