Yeah, and that's too bad. We need to stop funding all these wars.

What can I say, it's a weird position to have. "I care about your people so much I want them to die in war", what kind of logic is that?
I have never met a Ukranian but I had the same feeling after spending a weekend with a Crimean girl as a teen. Her account of Russia's invasion of Crimea has forever poisoned my mind against Russia lol
And yeah Trump siding so heavily with Russia is probably one of the most insane positions Trump has taken in this second term, and I say this as someone who voted for him.
You’re in the minority.
On this teeny tiny corner of the internet, sure. I don't care.
IDK, my principle on war is that it is bad and should be mostly avoided. Wars that could be ended more quickly should not be continuously funded, and wars should conclude as quickly as possible, even if that means there will be greater short-term casualties. Over the long term, I think more people die when wars drag on in a trickle of death, and it prevents the inevitable losers from rebuilding as quickly as they should and their citizens deserve.
If you say that because Russia is bad we should go to war with them directly and destroy them, I'm not a fan, but I think it'd be better than stretching out this war for all of eternity. In general though, I think just letting Ukraine lose is the best option, since it likely leads to the least amount of casualties, and doesn't give Russia a particularly greater strategic advantage over us.
Go tell the grieving relatives of killed Ukraine soldiers that you wanted them to die because you're their friend.
Far right?
But yes, everyone deserves to be disappointed about a politician stooping to the level of doing a crypto rugpull lol
This was the funniest response to being called a dictator by Trump that Zelensky could possibly have given
This should be less surprising than it seems on face value, as James Bond is set to hit the public domain so both parties might just be in a rush to get new Bond movies in development at this point
RIP that franchise, it's cooked
It's easy to say "go woke, go broke" until you realize that you don't make any of your own merchandise so you can't fix the problem once you finally decide to right the ship
This is the best argument in favor of the war, and the one that was sold to me at first. But after how long the war has gone on, it doesn't seem to me like Putin would even live long enough to capture all the land he allegedly wants to, and even if he did, that he would use that land to attack larger nations or the US.
But we are not Ukraine. Ukraine should keep fighting if they want to, but it's not our war. We only benefit marginally from the war's existence, it is not particularly in America's best interest to participate in it.
