It is only SOME US ppl.
These ppl don't understand
• our negotiated treaty obligations
• that the US should always support actual democracies
• that the US should always oppose land-grabs by any power against any other power
• Ukraine did NOT start the aggression
• doing as DJT wants will give up our win of the Cold War
• you can't appease the likes of Putin

@Nightwings Yes, and we need a Constitutional amendment to require that leaders and reporters have a fundamental duty to the truth.

@Toofargone Don't bother him. I have to block you now so that you don't create a long thread under Best Amswer.

You've asked me before what Israel has done wrong. It's not really about Israel doing anything wrong, I think that's thinking in absolutes. What I really don't understand about America is why we fight for Israel tooth and nail and say we'll turn Gaza into a resort, while then turning around and saying, "I don't care about Ukraine, it's on the other side of the world." It's inconsistent AT BEST. I won't say what it is at worst because I'll make people mad.
At the end of the day, you and I can't control how the vast majority of people here act. All I can do is promise I'll be here for you through everything.

Our country is held hostage by a minority of people. Like most people didn't want roe v wade removed, around 62%. That's why people be sterilizing themselves making the birth population lower than it is already 🙄

This has nothing to do with your post but we are held hostage currently, nothing to do about it but to wait for the high infant mortality rates, the depression and America to not be a developed world anymore.

Because as a society we HAVE to be the richest and most powerful. And to help those “beneath us” is anathema to our fragile self image.

@Nightwings Exactly. Maybe my point didn't quite land. I'm saying, why put up that sign... to threaten kids playing? Lol. It's just a way to flex aggression and act badass without consequences.
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@SinlessOnslaught I think it's just silly.

It does not happen only in America. There are many Europeans sick and tired of seeing their taxes used in supporting Ukraine instead of in their own countries. Of course, our 'tolerant democracies' ignore them or call them fascists or Russian assets.
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@Cierzo It is the only country. No other country thinks that those tax money will come back into their pockets, if not specifically given to Ukraine. I just had this conversation with someone else, you're free to join that discussion instead, to keep it in one place. It's under this post as well.
What I was trying to explain the other guy, is that democratic countries are obligated to support each other, and you have always paid taxes to do this. If the money don't go to Ukraine, they go another country. It is not your money, it is your country's money. You actually have very low taxes in America, because your country is abusing the healthcare system to get a ton of money from you in hospital bills and medicine, instead.

@specman Oh gtfo lol. What more do you people need? Don't you have everything except the free education and healthcare that you don't want?
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@specman If you spread misinformation about the Ukrainian president again, you will be blocked and no longer able to reply on this post. This is a warning.

So we only fund and help people when we know they can benefit us.
I guess that is a way it could be looked at. Another way is who benefits America

As a US tax payer, I’m tired of dumping MY tax dollars into a corrupt country that doesn’t appreciate my country. Simple enough for you?

@SinlessOnslaught It won't happen. It's the Maga way. Never actually address the question asked. Just keep on repeating the same jingoistic nonsense and insulting the other person, and declare you've won the argument. Dunning Kruger is rampant in the USA these days!
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@22Michelle Yes, they are just repeating things that they hear.

I don't personally as an American citizen, we just have a crazy right wing cult going on right now. That's what you're seeing.
Nightwings · 31-35, F
@SatanBurger I fear that what's happening in America now is far more serious than you realize, but please take a look at my recent featured post, as well, which thanks kind American citizens for being who they are.
SatanBurger · 36-40, FVIP
@Nightwings Oh i realize it's serious but i don't know what to do about it. I've tried reasoning with people but they are very hateful. I mean so hateful that i would be wary turning my back on some. There's a lot but a common theme I see is people blaming their choices onto others.
There's a big persecution complex right now.

Because we're the only nation with an actual cult following a political leader that is subservient to Putin.
It really feels like we've decided to just burn all of our political capital and soft power. And I'm still not sure why. The only thing I can think of is that Trump really is a foreign puppet set up to end our superpower status.

@Girlbehindthecurtain Now I wish I could give more than one reply Best Comment. That is a point which I think will land with anyone.
I might point that out to people in the future. 😅
