      The only consistant thing about conservatives over history is that they are almost always against good social progress, the ones of the past just had more sturdy spines

        this is tough because it so is not likely but at the same time I have no interest in defending reagan. I mean the reason he interfered in nicaragua is because of the anti commie garbage. although he might like putin given how capitalist he is nowadays. same with china.

    Well. That’s it then.

    Doesn’t matter what the terrorists in charge say. Real America should double down on support for our friends in Ukraine.

    Funding. Supplies. Volunteer work. Combat footage analysis. Supportive memes and propaganda. Offensive hacking of Russian assets for teh lulz. Whatever we can do.

    How do we find the helpers here?

    Well, more to the point: it’s like the US canceling Lend-Lease for the USSR right before the battle of Stalingrad.

    When you stop holding international laws when it doesnt work for you “see the zionist project” and then try to force it when it work for you, “see iran sanction and russia sanction” then now you get into a situation where a powerful government stop to pretend and ask “why i am doing this for other countries when i can take the money for myself”

    European has supported the united state atrocity fully knowing they are committing illegal and war crimes, “see Iraq war” it is surprising to see these leader being shocked because any one with brain cell can tell you not to trust the US or any other country for that matter and always have plan b, c, to z.

    It would only be like switching sides if they were supplying things to Russia

    Not taking Sides is not the same as switching sides

      You mean like voting with Russia, China and North Korea? Doesn’t sound like “not taking sides” to me.

      Like, ending sanctions and buying and selling things? Like selling them ammo?

      That last part isn’t in the news - yet - but they’re definitely poised to Supply Things to Russia.
