“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

Okay, and? Like... that's... a nice sentiment, but that's all it is.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah and? That's what we can do on this platform. Comment on things

Putin isn't going to end the invasion because some people from some obscure Reddit clone said so.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly

So then we agree, America must be defanged at all costs

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Somewhat true (all costs is a troublesome term), but also disregards the rest of the issue

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It really doesn't. American aggression is found around every corner if you look at thr history and impetus behind this conflict.

True

impetus behind this conflict.

Ehhh

Kinda like this excuse back in the day

You're not making any sense. Unless you think that NATO encirclement, the Maidan coup, etc, are all Russian false flags?

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope.

Instead Russia basically forced multiple countries to join a war crime organization so they have even some safety

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

... NATO has illegally invaded and destroyed numerous countries. Russia has invaded Georgia when Georgia tried to join NATO as part of NATO's encirclement.

Yes?
