In successfully lobbying Congress for an additional $61 billion in Ukraine war funding, an effort that ended this month with celebratory Dem
And you would be wrong, the USSR was still around when I was in college. And none of negates the fact that the US is an imperialist nation trying to keep a stranglehold on all other nations via it’s military size
What’s up, I’m 42 years old. USSR collapsed over 30 years ago, it’s irrelevant. Like the person said, modern Russia doesn’t have 900+ bases around the world. The US was an unchallenged hyperpower for a long time and definitely took advantage of that fact.
The US is not helping out because it feels sorry for Ukraine, it is because the US does not believe Russia would stop at Ukraine, and would press on to the other former territories of the USSR and it’s allied countries, several of which are in NATO.
The US is sending munitions to Ukraine now because they have a population willing to fight, and if Russia escalates, that will involve sending US troops to protect NATO countries. We are bound by treaty to do that, as long as an idiot President doesn’t find a way to leave NATO…
You are trying to make out like the US is benevolent and are concerned about Ukrainians. The US does nothing that doesn’t benefit the war machine and capitalism. The US engages in war to line the pockets of the donor class.
You are trying to make out like the US is benevolent and are concerned about Ukrainians.
You’re moving the goal posts. The world isn’t black or white. Disliking the US doesn’t mean that Russia is right. Russia went to war with Ukraine. The whataboutism on the US is not relevant. Say the US did something bad, is that really why Russia invading Ukraine can be excused?
Everybody says that…but I’d like to see Russia try. And if they resort to nukes, they’ll be erased in a day. They may be Russian, but they’re not stupid or suicidal.
Excuse me? Crimea IS (or was) part of Ukraine. The fuck are you on about “second” country? This invasion has been already happening for a decade more or less.
… So all this tells me is that you’re too young to remember the USSR.
And you would be wrong, the USSR was still around when I was in college. And none of negates the fact that the US is an imperialist nation trying to keep a stranglehold on all other nations via it’s military size
And Russia isn’t imperialistic?
Remind me again who invaded Ukraine?
Lmfao, I’m sorry, who invaded Ukraine?

Ironic.

They’ve already invaded a sovereign neighbor, ripping up a treaty in the process. They’re already trying.
The US and Ukraine ripped up that treaty years before by refusing to abide by the terms of the Minsk Agreements.
You’re repeating years old misinformation like you’re saying something new.
Can you suck Russia’s dick any harder?
That was between them and Ukraine though. Not NATO. Very different power dynamic there. They don’t feel threatened by Ukraine.
He’s talking about Crimea you moron. Ukraine is the second country Russia has invaded.
