Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This shit show brought to you be the American voter, who pissed away 80 years of good will and American economic dominance out of sheer stupidity. Make Russia an Empire Again!

Ukraine was the Sudetenland, but I didn't expect like this.

NGL if the USA invades anywhere other than Russia, I'll be enlisting for the other side.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

You could do more damage as fifth column resistance from the inside, but enlisting on the opposite side would be easier.

Me too, but why can't we invade anywhere warm?

If I was single and childless I'd be more than tempted to go fight in Ukraine. That might be the most productive and objectively noble thing anyone could do right now to stop Putin and maybe, by extension, the US.

IDK. Luigi did a lot and didn't have to leave the US to do it.

I was tempted but Ukraine made a public statement that they need armaments, not untrained fighters.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 weeks ago

if the military doesnt go against trump and refuse, itll be a repeat of “just following orders”

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Nah bruv, it’s probably far more effective to engage in sabotage at home.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

That harms citizens, I'd rather just take out the armed.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can sabotage all kinds of things that wouldn't harm citizens. Military bases. Republican headquarters. Roads and rail used to transport military equipment.

The Tankies get mad if the westerners don't harm their own nations.

As a Canadian, the moment tanks roll across the border I'm going feral. This is not the future we were promised in our youth. Sovereignty is non-negotiable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

When does it come good?

(I’m well aware that it never will come good as part of the plan.).
