Also the people being sent there are innocent, likely by any reasonable definition, but certainly by the definition of our Constitution.

You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.

They likely banned or hid anyone who said otherwise.

On the bright side, you don’t have to wait to shit on him. His diaper is soiled more than half of the time already. POOTUS.

I think the cyber security prof might be different.

I assure you, the recent differences are more than just talk.

I heard someone defederated from Hexbear, but I didn’t think it was us.

You’re a fucking joke if you think the last two months is representative of the US over the past 75 years.

Well, you got the first part right.

A couple issues.

The Signal chat didn’t show that anyone wanted Europe dead. Agree or not, it showed that the administration wants Europe to be responsible for their own military interests (As though the US received nothing from being the security for the West over the past 75 years.)

If they want to see Europe destroyed, those receipts have to come from elsewhere.

Secondly, helping Ukraine is in everyone’s interest except for Trump and the GOP. Stopping the stupid fucking tariffs is in America’s interests. Trump succumbing to his age is in America’s interests.

Don’t confuse America’s interests with those of the people who want to destroy and weaken America. Other than that, the point is correct. Europe needs to be much more active in Ukraine, even if the US administration may object.

We can’t. It’d make it too easy to discover how arbitrary “9 to 5” is.

But is there a downside for the guy running our country?

I wouldn’t put it as terribly anti-Europe. They’re right in that we’ve provided security for Europe since WW2.

To think we got nothing out of that arrangement is a solid chunk of dumb.

It’s one of those few things where I can see the grain of truth, but you know they’re going to execute as though they’re watering our crops with Brawndo.

Tariffs can also be good. When used wisely and in moderation. Tariffs on the heavily subsidized Chinese green energy market makes sense. Tariffs to reduce reliance on cheap Chinese manufacturing makes sense. Blanket 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada do not.

They’re at least being performative with each other.

Absolutely. I was specifically referring to sanctions, which are unlikely anyway, but possible.

Europe needs to take real action. You want Ukraine to actually win? Go make it happen. You can do it.

Putin is not going to use nukes to win Ukraine. Kowtowing encourages nuclear proliferation.

America, even this America, does not want war with Europe. They may sabre rattle, but nothing outside of sanctions will come of it. And if all goes reasonably, the US should hopefully be an ally again in four years.

You need to work on your military. Ukraine is the place to do that.

The US is in this mess because none of the good guys would take bold action. EU, you’re the good guys now. Will you do anything?

The fascist part of our state is on Putin’s side. You can’t really say those are fighting each other.

It’s the remnants of our Democratic state supplying Ukraine. And it’s not because of ethics, but it is absolutely ethical.

And fuck right off with your characterization of being victimized by the US supporting Ukraine. This is borderline propaganda.

From the evidence I have seen, yes the US has escalated the conflict.

Looks like a direct quote and not a strawman.

also it’s not nearly to this degree

Hilarious

Good. I’m glad you’re upholding the rule of law up there. I hope for your success, as I hope you would like for ours. Your longtime ally is still in here somewhere.
