as usual. the :reddit-logo: comments are fully disconnected from reality
I would imagine that anyone still actively posting there is going to be steeped in bloodlust for the other, but :jesus-christ:
I can't go on :reddit-logo: at work but I'm assuming it's "Don't approve of Mitch but I'm glad to see he's standing up to MAGA republicans. Trying to unearn his Moscow Mitch nickname."
Wow. I’ve never agreed with Mitch before. But he’s right.
...
This whole thing is like the old GOP's wet dream. It's sad seeing how deluded their voters are now. Get to fight a war by proxy? Get to do it against the 2nd-biggest enemy of our country? Get to demonstrate technological superiority of our military by throwing old weapons at the proxy? Get to do all of that and be seen as heroes on the geopolitical stage? Cheney would have cum in his pants.
...
I mean Russia is fucking over Russia. Everyone else, including the US, is happy to help.
I couldn't read any more, the urge to slap all these mental children is growing too strong
Wow. I've never agreed with Mitch before.
:doubt:
ask this person what their views on China are and see how much they "agree" with every GOP member
"Anti-war" MAGA reactionaries aren't actually "anti-war". Their understanding of geopolitics is either nonexistent or completely warped unreality. They are ostensibly against this war but only because Biden started it. And the only reason they can articulate as to why they're against this particular war beyond "FJB" is incoherent mumbling about the Democrats wasting money.
When it comes to imperialism, the only thing libertarians are concerned about are the misapplication of "blood and treasure." It is never "we shouldn't be killing those folks." It is only handwringing about an unsatisfactory return on investment.
It also shows just how insincere MAGA is with “America First”, but we already knew that.
Well Donald Trump didn't bomb Nord Stream and cause my energy bill to jump 300% and push more than a million of my fellow lower-middle class Germans into ouright poverty, so as far as I'm concerned, fuck Joe Biden and those ghoulish democrats.
What the fuck are you talking about? You don't explain shit to me YOU'RE A PUBLIC SERVANT! I EXPLAIN WHAT I WANT TO YOU AND YOU DO IT!
blue flame hair bursts
:porky-happy: The fish aren’t dying! It’s just hibernation! And those smoke clouds are a perfectly natural phenomenon in Ohio!
Right, but I think the most important thing, right now, is arming nazis. :liberalism:
Mitch McConnell.... welcome to the resistance. may you be blessed by the ghost of kyiv.
i wish mitch mcconnell was as real as the ghost of kyyyyiv
He might be evil, but unlike the MAGAs he actually understands the politics of power; Ukraine has to be a US 'win' in the same was as the US has to be prepared to go to war to defend Taiwan. Lose those and the international order, which massively benefits the US, falls apart.
"buh? What do you mean that I'm a 'satanic New World Order nazi'??? That's crazy and does not correspond to reality, actually"
well they don't even understand that to maintain the "international order", Ukraine only has to be another forever war that doesn't even have to be won by NATO, but only needs to be waged as long as possible to keep Russia occupied and prevent the economic threat of an EU running on cheap Russian gas.
these idealist fucking children have spent a decade calling everybody with an actual understanding of geopolitics in the region a Russian asset. they are philistine scum, so rick & morty brained they mistake their cynic chauvinism for intellectual superiority. they have an epistemology of evil, believing that the most cold-blooded bootlicker take is the correct one.
You'd think some asshole that is capable of spewing that might take a few seconds and exercise some critical thought on it, but no
Alternatively, they're irredeemable
McConnell "I'm gonna explain to the American people that defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now"
probably not
