Trying to make everything as terrible as possible so they can blame Biden for it.

Not enough and it's BS. Hurts my head to think about the lies and corruption that are preventing massive support to defeat Putin.

Stay frosty. Stay safe.

Republicans have literally/figuratively weaponised zero sum theory. "Whatever is bad for my enemies (Democrats) is good for me!"

Nah. Part of that is true sure. But more importantly they are a bunch of fucking fascists and fascists help fascists. True since Hitler and Franco.

The Republican party has been brought and sold to Putin and are traitors to the constitution and the republic. They want what Russia is: a controlled mafia state with religious underpinnings.

The thing is, they're not nearly tough or smart enough to survive in that environment. If they manage to succeed, they'll instantly find themselves bum-rushed and overwhelmed, helplessly calling out for forces of order who are supposed to restore to them their rights.

Like all useful idiots, as fast as their sole value is used up (their vote I guess) they are purged.

Correct. They arent smart enough to understand this. They are willing to sacrifice a lifetime with the boot on their neck as long as they get 5 minutes of seeing the boot on their "enemies" neck. Their enemy being their neighbors who are not sufficiently like them. They arent intelligent enough or understand history enough to realize the monster they create to attack their "enemy" will come for them at some point. Fascism is ever shrinking circles and must always manufacture new enemies.

First they came for the trade unionists.....

idk but i wish nato cannot get more directly involved. proxy wars are difficult. i just want to pop in and let you know I'm republican and all for giving whatever is needed to defeat the Russians. this is the most important thing on the planet right now.

Even if that means voting for a democrat? Because the GOP in Washington certainly doesn't share your opinion even though we're glad to have you.

Ukraine is providing the flesh. The least we can do is provide the equipment. Ukraine is fighting for western democracy.

@Marduk73 @mozz It is not a proxy war. The war is between Russia and Ukraine. To call it a 'proxy war' is to insult 'Ukraine' and is only good for Russia.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

depends on your perspective. from a western power indirectly fighting Russia through donations, training, and equipment, this is 110% a proxy war. and the Ukrainians have proven they are made of tougher stuff than to be insulted by such a word.

@Marduk73
No. It does not depend on perspective. The war against Ukraine was started by Russia, and Russia and Ukraine are the only combatants. No matter that several western countries have supplied Ukraine with weapons and Iran and North Korea, Russia, your use of the term, 'Proxy War' is incorrect.
But keep using the term if you like the sound of it 👍
