Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Majority (218). 435-70 morons - 20 contingency votes = more than enough (for now) to keep the aid alive.

While I appreciate the progress we've made in diminishing Russia's warfare capabilities through this proxy war,, I believe it's time for us to take a step back and allow other countries to assume responsibility for the financial burden.
Considering the significance of this conflict, the remaining nations in the free world should be willing to provide ongoing support. It's not sustainable for our country to continuously fund every European conflict. I'd prrefer we avoid becoming a quasi-imperialist state where we exert control over the rest of the world, and instead empower our allies to take on greater autonomy and responsibility.
This shouldn't really be a controversial take, but positions like this usually just get downed down under all the low effort "dumb republican" or "dumb liberal" comments. I really hope as a platform we don't turn into the same toxic place as r/politics and actually take an iota of time to better understand opposing viewpoints before reading some super biased headline and start generalizing.
