    love the fact that more republicans voted against this than dems. it was probably like dan crenshaw voting against because it wasn't declaring war on china, and rand paul protest voting because it violated the NAP, but still, it's hilarious

      Tbf, more Dems did a no show, which is a cowardly way of doing the same thing. And there are more Dems.

      But yeah, the future is revanchist nationalism against Russia and China no matter which party you pick.

        yeahh lol. I'm considering moving to canada, for a little less overt nationalism and warmongering. I kinda get the lib mindset, I would love to just not think about this shit ever.

            yeah but it's a lot easier for me to fight with libs, because most of them recognize my basic humanity as a trans person and don't literally say we should invade china. I'm not going to vote for them, or support their views, but there is a point to be made that they're easier to deal with.

                well they instead say we should do everything but. I don't think most libs would actually support a ground war

                  For some reason the concept of a siege has just left the collective consciousness of the West. Sieges are one of the most brutal forms of warfare. Literally starving a population into submission or rebellion.

                  Sanctions and all "economic warfare" is siege warfare on a nation state scale. The US doesn't have vessels in every body of water for the hell of it.
