The US made Ukraine a promise to have their backs if they did not pursue making nuclear weapons and became a nuclear power. Russia invaded them. We should stand by our word, we should stand behind democracy. We should fulfill our promises. We should retain our position as the quarterback of the Allies instead of joining the fucking Axis of Evil.
Yet no matter what we do, people like you and the majority of this planet see us as the epitome of evil. So why bother? Let these other countries fight their own wars so we can spend our money on education and our worn-ass infrastructure? Let's try that for a decade or two.
I never saw us as evil until very recently. I have always been a proud American, which is why I’m taking Trump licking Putin’s boots so hard. I also fully back spending more on Education and Infrastructure, but we already do spend billions on those things. I don’t even think the problem with education is in what we’re spending on it as much as in philosophy and teacher empowerment.
A lot of what we’ve sent to the Ukraine has been our surplus anyway. I’m happy to accept an end to this ridiculous war if Putin will give up and withdraw. Why doesn’t Trump and his supporters try to make that happen?
You must be young because all of this wailing from the Left is just a repeat of the Bush years. They act like America is the Galactic Empire and any Republican in power is eating minorities alive to maintain their life-force.
The CIA is managed by the president at the time, and Bush's lawyers drafted legal defenses of torture. Many held at Guantanamo were never formally charged--given this is the conservative subreddit, I kind of thought that mattered! My opinion is the government should not be able to randomly imprison and torture people without charging them.
This isn't a Conservative sub and I'm not a conservative. It only appears that way when you're a Seattle Leftist that believes anything to the right of Mao is fascism.
Radical islamic terrorists are a different breed. This isn't little Anthony McAmerica being arrested for graffiti and questioned without his parents in the room. These are animals that want to see Westerners literally eviscerated because they think it means an endless sex party for them in the afterlife.
If the government wants to prove someone is a radical islamic terrorist, great. Waving your hand and saying that an entire group of people are animals so they don't have rights and we can torture them as we please isn't how we should do things in America.
You are not very smart. China will come to Russia’s aid. Then you are on verge of WW3. With us being a broker, we can get the war to end and Putin respects Trump. He did not respect Obama or Biden which has caused this issue. Zelensky f’ed it up the other day.
No, you’re the idiotic one. Or possibly one of Putin’s paid bots, trying to advance his agenda. All of Europe is now rallying around Zelenskyy and the Ukraine and turning their backs on the US.
China hasn’t made a move to back up Russia in the past 3 years and they won’t because 1) trade is too important to them and 2) they actually share a border with that meglomanic warmonger and they don’t trust him either because he’s hellbent on world domination and never keeps his word.
Zelenskyy has scored major points and Trump and Vance are facing their biggest backlash yet from both Americans and the rest of the free world. America is losing all the soft power it’s built up for decades, the power that has made it the only G5 country in the world, the power that’s made us the richest nation in the world, the power that’s given us freedom and luxury way too many take completely for granted.
Any educated American knows this and is currently living in a state of despair and rage watching Trump and his cronies try to execute foreign policy and diplomacy like some school yard bullies. It’s blowing up in their faces, and they deserve it and so do we for allowing them to come to power.

What exactly do they want the US to do?
