I, for one, am shocked!
Ooo we need a Jack Horner emoji. Who do I @ for that?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It's not like they haven't had every second of hte entire cold war to watch what happens to America's proxy forces from the inside.
they actually thought to spend the money on defense instead of running away with all of it
I'm sure Zelensky has actually run away with at least some of it.
America worshippers aren't the brightest bunch. I'm sure there were Ukrainians that could see what was happening and I feel a great amount of empathy for them. The ones posting in English on Twitter about how the orcs will be wiped out? Not an ounce of it.
Especially the ones who told me I was dumb for saying republicans were gonna fuck them over and they scolded me for "lying about my fellow americans and being delusional"
Fucking told you so, again
Damn, it's almost like the US treated this war as a closeout sale of its old military hardware.
To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal
Words said by one of the deadest guys there's ever been.
Lmao what a fucking baby brain you would have to have to write that tweet
One step closer to a NATO country getting 9/11'd by Azov.
"I really though the country that skipped town on Afghanistan in the dead of night was in it for the long haul with me..."
but.... we are white......
10 words too many in that tweet
tbf who the fuck else were they gonna turn to, not a whole lot of other rich parties alligned against Russia willing to throw down cash, the real thing he should be saying is this is why you should never give up your nukes. No matter what they promise you, do not under any circumstances give away your nuclear weapons. Unless you're Isreal then you should definitely give up your nukes, ignore what I just said.
also dont shell your own citizens for years when there's a stronger neighbor willing to defend them... but i guess it's a super easy mistake to make.
That's overly reductive and I don't care to have a conversation about it because it will provide nothing of value. If you took everything RT/Sputnik reports at face value then sure that's definitely what happened, the shelling started in a vacuum, they just started doing it for no reason at all other than their hate for Russophones, but I think that's a whole lot of cope. I don't support any of the millitary actions Russia or Ukraine has taken including the shelling, but I'm also not naive about what was going on leading up to it. Ideally the USSR would have stayed together to avoid all this mess which I think we both agree on.
They can align with Russia, the country they share a border and language with.
I'm talking about after they are invaded clearly and I think boiling it down to language is a bit reductive, I think the USSR shouldn't have been illegally dissolved, but I also think that that doesn't give Russia permission to bully it's former soviet neighbors bc of "spheres of influence" because it ended up being the biggest soviet republic post split I'm not John Mearshimer, I don't think "Russia should have "spheres of influence" because America does" there shouldn't be any. I do think if Ukraine kept it's nukes that Russia would not have invaded recently or in 2014, I'm sure there would have been tension, but I don't think there would have been any major millitary action if they were both nuclear states.
I'm sorry but who didn't see this coming the second Russia didn't get steamrolled
Literally the first president advised future leaders to abandon allies whenever they stop serving American interests. Voteball fans should’ve learned this rule before they started playing
took him long enough to learn that lesson
