Just a fairly dull Polish guy. A Ukraine-supporting lib. I DON'T follow-back and it's likely i'll simply block you if you're too blatant a farmer.

No, that doesn’t actually follow. You see, what happened is that we had an election, and an insane Putin-loving crook won, and he staffed his admin with far right authoritarians who loathe our Euro allies and Ukraine, and now they are trying to extort Ukraine. This is not hard to grasp.

They should’ve just came, looked em dead in the eye and said “We are going to destroy your livelihood and we both know you’re voting for us again anyway because your daughter started looking a little uncomfortable when you say the n word after she went to college.”

The JCOS do not operate in a vacuum. If they couldn't see what was coming from 5 years back, they were as incompetent as the partisan hacks they are being replaced with. Their oaths were to the constitution. They haven't lived up to them.

Is the legacy media going to report on the Nazi salutes at CPAC or....?

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

I don’t know of any other country that surrendered in a war it was winning, while not even fighting.

When Daniel Bessner, who rotted for Jacobin, says that “countries and regions should be allowed to work out what type of intl. ordering arrangement they desire,” he plainly does not mean “Ukraine gets to decide if it joins NATO and the EU.” He means that Russia gets to kill Ukrainians if it wants.

biden was a great president except when it came to what he imagined to be his area of expertise (foreign policy), his electoral proposition (he is a white guy everyone likes), and the most important thing he was called upon to do (permanently incapacitate donald trump)

"Was [he promoted] because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt" is such a wild thing to write, like you are literally just saying "I am a racist"

What is it called when you have sleep paralysis but you are awake and you can't renew your car registration for three years

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

My only litmus test for a 2028 Democratic candidate is a willingness to ruthlessly extirpate every trace of the Musk financial empire, pour encourager les autres.

I wish I had back all the money I spent on computers. I would buy the biggest damn computer.

it's downstream of the (politically universal) failure to identify Ukraine's self-defence and Syria's revolution as anti-imperial struggles that have more akin with the struggle for a free Palestine than with Friedmanism

Yeah this is a really really good point. These people were pro-PUTIN under the guise of opposing American imperialism and now that the literal actual one scenario that could plausibly destroy American empire altogether (enemy alliance including Canada) is on the table, they HATE it.

god they're so stupid

This is what pisses me off about all of this. The rise of the NSDAP came as a result of losing the bloodiest war fought in European history. The return of MAGA is the result of boobs in video games being too small and not being able to go to Applebee’s for a few months in 2020.

Did Chamberlain serve up Czechoslovakia on a platter to Hitler while also demanding his own access to the country's resources? No. Trump is no Chamberlain. What he is doing vis a vis Ukraine is much more villainous than that. Whatever we say of "appeasement," its intent was to limit war.

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

2025 and Democrats still don’t grasp Lesson 1 of “Dont Think of An Elephant.” NEVER REPEAT FALSE CHARGES

Calling zelensky a dictator and calling himself a king in the span of 1 hour Only in trump 2.0

I don't want to hear this smug "you lib neocons sent Ukrainians into the meat grinder, we were always going to abandon them" when you spent the last three years doing everything you could to harm Ukraine's chances at victory from agitating against aid bills to fighting against getting Harris elected

I saw some of you fuckers sincerely arguing that the Ukrainian requests to lift strike restrictions on the Russian airfields from which they launch glide bombing attacks on cities were a political ploy to keep Ukraine in the news because they couldn't win on the battlefield

as a top Democrat, i understand how desperately we need to stop Donald Trump, who by the way, i call "Professor Awesome." and he is a scourge on our nation

This is where the tankie version of events blows up like a Tesla. If Zelenskyy was a puppet of the US—if the Ukrainian cause was anything less than one of sovereign national defense—he would make wtv concessions the WH demanded right away. The Ukrainians are fighting their own war, not Washington's.
