What people like you are really pissed about is that we didn't swallow the globalist lie and want to blindly throw endless amounts of blood and treasure into the black hole of another endless war, just so the politicians and their owners can skim a few billion here and a few billion there off the top.
Wut? Easy there pal, I don't think I'm asking you to go to war. The real comedy is that all of these things actually describe Putin... making a global alliance, wef member, sending his own people into a meat grinder for zero benefit. He just wants a different globalist world order where he is at the top.
Globalist nut bags of the military variety are a more pressing threat, however there is a middle ground of "all out war" and strategically weakening them.
Personally, my ideal solution is that Europe should transfer it's weapons to Ukraine, and buy new ones from US. That is "America First", and helps stop a clearly aggressive country.
Great and moral Iran, which regularly and recently raids churches for the crime of being Christian.

Also a strategic military partnership with the Norks, to the point of using their troops. Religion is illegal there entirely.
As bad as things are in the west, the Iranians and Norks are infinitely worse.
Russia is not your friend.
A message that their trigger happy military can't tell the difference between civilian planes and incoming ordinance, and don't care to be discerning.
The truly damning thing was refusing the plane to land in Russia despite repeated requests.
As always, Russia isolates itself more than any western country ever could just by being greedy and dumb.
No one should be surprised by this. Elon and Vivek are exactly like "The Bobs" from office space, and are going to fire gov employees to replace them with imported cheap labor.
There were even memes about this when DOGE was announced.
No refunds.
The left is right about Russia being the bad guy. The right has gotten more quiet since the Norks joined the fray, but it has always been painfully obvious that Russia, China, North Korea alliance is evil and only bares ill will. The number of people here looking at Putin as some sort of moral leader is insane.
Doesn't mean that piles of cash is a good idea, but the person blitzkrieging their neighbor is always the bad guy and should be viewed with ire.
I think people here get confused. My contention is the following:
-The globohomo NGOs do exist to spread globohomo.
-like all globohomo libtards, it's horribly ineffective. See Afghanistan "hearts and minds".
I think if people consider their interactions with government for a bit they will realize they are generally incompetent.
Georgia is a country long leaning towards the US, so much so that George Bush is considered a hero there. We might disagree with that, but it is reality.
Eh, Georgia has a long history of conflict with Russia. Russia already took a big chunk of Georgia before, and salted the ground on the way.
Georgia has for that reason had one of the largest groups of fighters in Ukraine.
This is Russia trying to finish the Georgia takeover, which is not really popular there. People vastly overestimate the West's ability to create a coup.
Well, not entirely true. Capitalism didn't exist for most of human history. Mercantalism was the much more common predecessor to capitalism.
Capitalism just feels like the default in "The West" because they didn't have generations crippled by Communism and fascism like much of the rest of the world.
Well, I have great respect for you and your opinions generally here, but you are simply wrong and lack experience in the region.
I have friends (and family) on both sides of that conflict. Anecdotally, all my Russian friends had to flee the draft (even those who spoke positively about the "special military operation"). All my Ukrainian friends stayed and took up arms. Even the women. It was a brutal blitzkrieg style at that the beginning.
Most all of those in eastern Europe know very well what happens when Russia takes over: mass murder of families and non Russians. Recently Georgia went through this in Abkhazia, most of the towns simply wiped out.
Further back the baltics still have monuments to the folks rounded up and shot, the KGB rooms still having bullet holes in them.
The Russian government is far, far more brutal than the American mind can comprehend.
Yeah but I have never enjoyed watching it so much. This speech was incredible. To their faces.
