Donald Trump won those elections
because every single poll showed people were fed up
with foreign invasions—sorry, interventions—
especially since it was gutting the US internally,
draining the country through wars that cost us more than just cash;
it drained our humanity too.

We'll see how things play out in Russia. According to you, Vladimir Putin is practically flying out of the Kremlin.

According to the Ukrainians, the Russians haven't made any ground in the last 24 hours.

Three days ago, they were stuttering in fear before Vladimir Putin. Now, it’s only when they see things aren't going to plan that they start making noise.

Once Russia launched its aggression, the damage was already done.
We all remember back in 2014 when they were discussing cooperation models,
only for Nuland to block the European Union initiative and basically say "fuck the European Union."
That’s been the playbook for the last eight years.
The Ukrainians were fed false hope that they had our backing,
encouraging them to poke the Russian bear because of the whole "fuck the European Union," "fuck Russia" mentality.
Instead of being pragmatic,
leveraging their position to maintain neutrality,
their "Western partners" egging them on to play hero against a nuclear superpower.
Reading about a "right to NATO" is laughable.
You have as many rights as you have power. Even 30 million Kurds have a "right to a state,"
but they don't have the power to actually grab one.

It's too late now. They need strength to hold out against the occupier for as long as possible. Over in Russia itself, people need to wake up to where Putin is actually taking them. When the USA fights a war, the average person doesn't feel the financial hit. In Russia, they're going to feel it.

They're just bad. They should have already started renaming streets in Kyiv. Plus, they've been sleeping in the mud for three nights straight now.

Mark Clark6 said:Given that Russia is a nuclear power with a psychopath holding the detonator, I honestly can't decide which outcome warrants more dread: a defeat for Putin or a victory in Ukraine. Just imagine the fallout if that madman actually loses in Ukraine... the idiot is going to ruin his own people regardless of the result.

They can't lose when they're already in Kyiv.

Didn't they kill those people on Snake Island? They wouldn't surrender.

gentlecrane8 said:That's a bit old school, isn't it? Nowadays, you just get sent to Guantanamo for 15 or 20 years without even an indictment.😛

So many innocent people ended up behind bars. But even that doesn't mean moving to Russia to live or work is any kind of solution—it’s actually the exact opposite. Any Russian would much rather wake up in America.

Frank Nguyen37 said:You still actually believe that Americans go in for humanitarian bombings just to protect democracy and human rights? Really?🤣

It’s like they just don't pick on democratic countries. It makes you wonder. ☕

So you're bored, and your plan is to just hang out there wasting time until the cops show up?

Once you define what actually constitutes a crime—specifically that killing during combat isn't one thing, but murder in captivity is another—it becomes much easier to pin down the actual criminals.
