Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Fuck that!
That really will escalate the war.
Oh dang, I forgot about escalation. Which country should we feed to Putin after he's done destroying Ukraine? Gotta keep him appeased at all costs!
A nato one. Give them all the materiel they want, and arm them to the teeth, just not boots on ground.
So... just sit back and hope the next country they invade is a NATO member? Got a plan B for when it isn't?
So you would like to march American troops into another fucking war? We have been at war over half my life, I’m done with it.
Give those boys all they need short of boots on ground.
If you don’t like my opinion, feel free to block me.✌️
Putin can end the war any minute. That's what I'd like. But he won't.
Failing that, enabling Ukraine to defend itself is the next best option. That's what I'd like. But republicans are doing their evil shit again and blocking that route.
All of the remaining options are shit. If you don't like what I'm proposing, dude I'm with you: I don't like it either. This whole situation is horrible, and it's shameful as fuck that we have politicians here in the US that are hell-bent on enabling Putin.
...but what's left to do? Throw our hands up and say "gg republicans, you outplayed us! Putin, Ukraine's all yours!"?
