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?

No no you don't understand! Before they hit them with the missiles they told everyone to evacuate to another area! Now granted that area they were told to go to was then bombed, ensuring civilians who were complying with their directives were killed and making it less likely that anyone would follow later warnings, but still!

The whole human shield angle is really stupid if you ever pay attention to how much the Zionists care about civilian casualties. We're at what, 1.5 War-in-Ukraines of dead Palestinian civilians in 3 months? It seems like civilians don't function as a deterrent to the IOF.

Love to live in my exploding city because the ground makes things explode.

No no you don't understand! The proper way to attempt to address an ongoing genocide is to wring your hands and give more weapons to the people doing it. Doing anything proactive is bad form you silly geese.

Liberal, proud of it.

Okay sweet so you're aware of the role they're playing in the current government then. Not sure why you found that idea objectionable a minute ago but whatever.

And yes I'm aware, not a big Putler fan here. It's too bad the left is so weak in the former Soviet nations.

Personally I just hope a peace can be negotiated soon to save lives.

Oh dang we left the door open and a LIB wandered in. Poor little fella.

It may be helpful for you to consider this piece covering the long running problem with the far right that Ukraine has been dealing with. A cursory search would show you that this is a problem reputable news agencies have been documenting for years before the current war.

I like to think about the historical perspective. It's not much consolation but systems like these can't maintain themselves forever, cracks are showing and the US really is more vulnerable than people would like to admit.

Once things start changing there will likely be a lot of problems, things will probably get worse in some ways, but I think even if I don't survive to see what people come up with in the aftermath of the US I can get satisfaction from seeing it burn.

When you read history you learn humans are very resilient, humans will not end when the empire does. Maybe the failure of this place will be good for the world.

"I cannot conceive of the idea that people can dislike my preferred political choice for any valid reason. Not picking my preferred choice would mean a thing I don't prefer would happen. Nobody could possibly want that."

I love that this is how libs are going to deal with their deeply unpopular genocidaire, just pretend he's actually popular and fine. Real winning strategy there, I hope democracy isn't on the line.

Ah, but have you tankies considered how cheap it is to send mentally disabled Eastern Europeans to die and how much value The West™ is getting out of this?

This is clearly a sign of good things just around the corner.

The technical term is 'disrupting the democratic space.' It's an innovative approach to democracy that builds on the Bidenist model, where you're morally required to rubber stamp one bad option or It's not democracy anymore.

The cool new twist is that the rubber stamping has been automated to save everyone time and keep anything unexpected from happening.

For sure, my partner and I are also trying to save up for a down payment, who knows what will even be enough in two years, which is the earliest we could reasonably hope to be prepared. Yuck.
