Great; let him talk. I said it in another thread but Fascists eventually out themselves then get rightly dumped - see Vox in Spain essentially blowing their chances at the election, when they went Full Fascist during the run-up through some "choice" marketing.
Fascists and right-wing politics are trying to rebadge itself as some friendly, faux-centrist alternative & need to be rooted out and bumped by the polls & electorate. So if AfD suddenly taking a pro-Putin stand sinks their electability, that's fantastic.
Indeed.
I'm actually surprised at the support in the US, I thought it would wear thin after a few months of the war. Likewise I thought the GOP would quickly fall in line with Trump/DeSantis but there's still a relatively decent chunk of Republicans who support Ukraine. Naturally it's going to diminish as time goes on, but that just seems to be occurring at a slower pace.
I explained the reason why the title of that CNN report is bullshit but it seems Kermit either chose to ignore it so he can spread his misery or missed my post but ill restate again for clarity sake.
The title is EXTREMELY deceptive.
Majority of Americans oppose more aid to Ukraine
When you actually look at the question that was asked and the answers given to cause this headline. And I'm paraphrasing here:
48%: We should be doing MORE
51%: We should be doing less/ We are currently doing enough.
Contained within that 51% is people who DO actually support Ukraine. If even 3% of that 51%(It will not be this low) are in the "Currently doing enough" camp then the headline COULD read.
Majority of Americans support current amount or MORE aid to Ukraine.
CNN chose to lump them in with the former. Thus spawning the negative title. I don't think i need to explain why CNN, obsessed with ratings and clicks, would prefer an alarmist negative title over a positive one now do I?
hence it is important to to call it "fascist ruSSia". Like there was a Nazi Germany before.
The US war effort has amounted to a partial stock clearance and that's been enough to screw Putin's plan to recreate the Soviet Union.
Interesting article about Ukrainian men who don't want to fight and the problem of replacing killed, injured and exhausted troops
They actually blamed Biden for letting Hurricane Hilary into the country. OK it was probably meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but then again, it's Fox...
Russia's only hope is US will stop says it all...
The 60b spent is not real it was weapons past there sell by date, US companies benefited and the knowledge gleamed from the war has been priceless.
Cheapest war ever...
Bonus, 1/4m less wild uncivilised animals about
Actually Mariupol was invaded from crimea and Rostov on don. So add that to the Belarus/Chernobyl front the Kharkiv front and the Kherson front that was at least 5 different directions Russia invaded from. There was a seperate attack in the sumy direction as well. 6 different fronts. From my limited experience with strategy games that should have collapsed most armies.
Just over a month before a poll showed support, which is consistent and in line with most other polls during the course of the war. Maybe that CNN poll (and one other I believe) mark a suddenly shift in the last month or perhaps they are outliers.
..
Yeah it's only the trumpanzees that are hooping about stopping aid. There' not a hope that donald trump the rapist will get voted in
Stopping aid for Ukraine would be a surrender to Russia and embolden China
A victory to all dictators and a defeat for democracy
Alaska might be back with Russia.
But when people support trump that as undemocratic as some referenced above
If Trump or DeSantis hypothetically got in, of course they would love to pull the plug (purely to spite Democrats) however there is still relatively strong support among Republicans to support/arm Ukraine, which is why you don't hear the GOP candidates talking about it too much (yet). DeSantis even had to walk back comments he made that it was just a "territorial dispute".
Polls show most Americans still support Ukraine.
Just another good night in Moscow
It’s actually amazing how Ukraine repelled an attack on 3 fronts all of a sudden with such an inferior army,
Hopefully someday it’s explained in details in a documentary or similar.
Lots of Americans (i.e. Republicans) would condemn Biden if he walked on water or personally stopped Hurricane Hilary in its tracks. They would appprove of one of their own,(a Republican president) if he were to take the same robust attitude to Russia as Biden is now doing.
They just can't help it.
...
Sure, that's what Tucker Carlson would like very much, with himself being in a position of power in the new structure, but he would not like one little bit being a citizen of that kind of state.
Ukraine wouldn't need any more aid after I end the war in one day.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
Most of the territory Russia occupy in Ukraine was pretty much put on a plate for them by the little green men invasion of 2014. What did they actually “win” since the 24th February 2022. They pounded Mariupol into the Ground after reaching it effectively unopposed at a time when Ukraine was trying to get their bearings with attacks coming in three directions at once. They had a woeful hard slog to capture Severiedonetsk and lysychansk and then an infinitely more desperate hard 9 month slog in Bakhmut. It’s a woeful return for the resources they lost and the loss of national prestige. There is no way that Putin or any person with even half a brain would have started this war if they had the benefit of knowing it would turn out like this. The map is virtually static since September 2022. With thousands upon thousands dead to achieve that deadlock. Once Ukraine got over the initial shock of being invaded they have had the Russians by the throat. It’s been an unmitigated disaster for Russia. They have shown zero superiority over Ukrainian forces in any sector of this war bar maybe propaganda trolling at times ( they have bizarrely won the hearts and minds of the extreme conservative right and far left west) and of course the nuclear sector. That’s it they have Nothing else.
They don't really have any to give. There are no replacement fighters coming and they can't really quickly build new ones to replace any they might give away. They are also pretty close to Russia, and are not in NATO (yet).
Sweden has donated tons of weapons already, so it's pretty sad some people are complaining.
What the f** is that "jewrunUSA" hashtag?
It's funny, isn't it, how people have been talking about the US's military-industrial complex as this unstoppable force driving U.S. foreign policy, but somehow that would be halted by whoever's in the Oval Office. A Republican president may make some big proclamations about reducing aid to Ukraine, but the lobbying will probably ensure that this does not happen. As the stopped clock theory goes, the military-industrial complex might actually be on the right side of history in this instance.
“I wonder if a Republican candidate wins the Presidental election will the military aid stop, a lot of Americans don't seem to be too happy with what Biden is doing arming the Ukrainians.”
Keep wondering.
If the US became that sort of country, you can be 100% sure the same system would be imposed here shortly after via an iron-boot, which is why anyone here supporting the orange one needs their head examined.
They're only unhappy with it because it's Biden doing it and because there are talking heads like Tucker Carlson out there saying it's the wrong thing to do.
America has the largest military in the world and very few, if any, threats to its national security that alone would necessitate a military of such a size. So what else is there to do with this if not promote American hegemony overseas? The bonus in this case is that America isn't committing its own troops and it isn't even sending state of the art gear, so isn't that actually an amazing bargain in return for knocking out one of the U.S.'s main global rivals, historically?
The reason the likes of Tucker Carlson want less arms to Ukraine is because they would quite like to see Russia win. Russia represents what they'd like America to become albeit perhaps with better infrastructure. Authoritarian - ruthlessly stamps out dissent - socially regressive - has an elite class that is heavily protected by state power. They want to see this type of societal structure flourish worldwide.
Pretty sure the US had advised all citizens to leave Belarus since April.
Bit past time? I'm sure any citizen from a state that is supportive in any way of Ukraine would have departed Belarus long ago by now. Unless they were there on some mission critical work or married/ settled in the country.
