News from within the empire - From a leftist perspective
had a look on 
because i'm special like that:
We literally have communists in Congress representing Russia and Putin. And guess what ? They are 💯 % Republicans.
The US should support Ukraine. The Russians are using their bought puppets to try and subvert the election this year as well as trying to start a civil war in the US (again). For that reason alone we should be opposing ANYTHING that Russia wants and that includes supporting Ukraine.
:D
I want what they have. Makes the world funny.
could be lead poisoning
Ok, comrade funmilitia T_T
hey hey, it's a jolly kind of lead poisoning
Mainstream liberals will laugh about how anyone could be stupid enough to believe that the 2020 election was stolen by a secret pedophile cabal as though it's not still totally hegemonic in 2024 to believe that the 2016 election was stolen by a secret cabal of KGB Manchurian candidates. Both of these ideas are evidence-free nonsense, but it's the one debunked by years of comprehensive bipartisan congressional investigations that it's normal to still believe. Hell, at least they've actually found pedophiles in congress, which is more than I can say for secret Russian Skrulls or whatever the these lunatics believe.
The 2020 election wasn't stolen by a secret pedophile cabal ofc, it was won fair and square by proud and unabashed pedophiles.
Of course, the opposition was also comprised of proud and unabashed pedophiles. So they would have won out either way.
In that wierd place do they think that Russia is the head of Jeudeo-Bolshevism? Are these people Neonazis or Democrats?
My favourite is this one:

Never thought I’d see the day the Americans were too cowardly to stand up to Russia. Gonna suck when it’s eventually US bodies in the trenches of Europe instead of Ukrainians.
There are so many quiet parts said out loud there I don't even know where to begin listing them.
I also like this one, for implying that Russia winning will mean control over the fucking Atlantic Ocean!
CW: redditism
It’s not just that… China never runs Taiwan and suddenly you have China facing off the pacific and Russia overlooking the Atlantic and USA is in the middle
redditors make me feel things.
being even the slightest bit pressed back from your 1000 military bases around the world, many of the in the literal faces of your declared enemies (but also trading partners, wtf) is like minas tirith under siege, the end of everything.
just like the line has to go up constantly, so does the empire, or it's immediately under dire existential threat.
psychotic.
Those are a lot. Damn. I usually make fun of libs for being overly verbose, but those two sentences contain a neutron star's worth of condensed bullshit.
When they say the Atlantic do they actually mean the Pacific? I don’t understand why Russia would overlook the Atlantic geographically…
They think that, if Russia wins in Ukraine they'll keep marching on through the entirety of Europe due to some video game "war fever" logic. Redditors live in a very interesting alternate reality.
I really hope this election leads to a major civil dispute where both parties accuse the other of election fraud so heavily they refuse to accept the results of the election.
Who am I kidding though? The libs will just fall in lockstep and follow whomever is in charge, even if they think the election is 100% stolen.

Seeing the end of the US empire in real time.
Your daily reminder that Zalushny said they would need 350 - 450 Billion to "liberate" Ukraine. Feeding them in drip increments is simply extending the war, and needlessly so, but this whole war was avoidable as a whole 🤦🏾♂️. Play stupid games, and now 500k Ukranian troops are dead.
Don't forget that most of the money allocated to Ukraine actually ends up being spent in US. The whole thing makes a lot more sense when seen as a money laundering scheme that diverts taxes from things they're meant for back into the hands of the oligarchs.
It's January. Why are they acting like there's no time to send more before the election? They've been dropping billions every couple months for years now. I don't understand what makes this funding request the last one, is it just the GOP not playing ball anymore?
They all know the war is all but lost. At this point it's hanging like a stone around Genocide Joe's neck and the republicans will undoubtedly use it to attack him as election season plods on. Asking for more money a few months from now will just give them opportunities to grandstand about fiscal policy and keep his failure in the news cycle. So Zelenskyy is gonna get taken behind the shed and done like Old Yeller. Figuratively by his US puppet masters, and very likely literally by the Nazis surrounding him.
Yeah, the GOP controls the house and they're refusing to release money for Ukraine.
