Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Blowback? at this time of year? biden-horror

Zelenskyy could have asked the South Vietnamese leaders for advice on exactly how this conflict was going to go. The US tells you when and how to fight, for how long, and when to surrender.

White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that "the assistance we were providing has come to a halt."

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

kinda very misleading headline tbh

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

I don't think misleading, more like incomplete (but hey, it's a headline).

The real question is whether we will send more or if that comment from the White House is kicking responsibility for the shutdown onto Congress.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago

We will support Ukraine for as long as convenient

Republicans are better than democrats on this lol

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Only cuz they want to refocus on fucking with Iran and China

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Republicans, regardless of what they say, have the exact same position as Democrats on this

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Yeah good point. Foreign policy is not democratized in any way.

Who could have seen this coming? Some kind of Pac Man looking dude, but instead of only having a big mouth he is just one big eyeball? An oracle granted the gift of foresight by the gods of Olympus, surgically grafted to the Hubble telescope? Some kind of special forces operator known only as "Spotter Wolf" who is teaching a teenage miscreant how to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend from the Taliban using nothing but throwing knives? They probably could see this coming.

They and no one else.

A basic understanding of the US being an asshole country does wonders for your ability to predict and understand global events.

[–] Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Just one more offensive Biden, please, I swear we'll get them this time, please....

[–] bubbalu@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

A statement leaked to Telesur from a Kyev insider by Anthony Blinken reads 'Dear Ukes, while we had hoped to fight this war to the last ukranian, we have found a browner target for our bombs. Hopefully you can understand. glhf it's been real!
