You’re mistaken; the United States has no leftist parties.

i like how this overtook: “scotty, beam me up”. lol

to be fair: so too did the russian military dreadnought convoy not long after when they ran out of gas and their tires exploded from the pressure. lol

i wish americans and other westerners weren’t so good spreading propaganda to each other without at least getting paid like the cia or fbi or homeoffice; things are tough out there and you should be paid for your work.

here are articles of americans doing the same thing with prison labor:

downvotes are a good thing here; they prove that you’ve atleast acknowledged these facts and that the seed of doubt can now germinate in your mind.

tragedy is the right word, but seeing first hand how thoroughly how my government has propagandized my fellow americans, i can understand how the ukranians were likewise propagandized to believe that nato would ever allow them membership by pushing their government into doing so.

The thing you just understand about American politics is that extremely few pay attention beyond the headlines and most who do are labeled as tankies

The Democrat/Republican one would be first on my list

The same Congress that’s giving him everything he wants and is about to pass a resolution stating “free Palestine” is anti-semitic?

I wonder if the British of the early 19th century predicted that this is how it would turn out when they decided not to press their advantage after the war of 1812 in favor of detente w the young United States

I wonder if historians in the future will mark the beginning of ww3 w Ukraine and Iran.

Also, I’m assuming the down votes are because the article makes it clear that the United States is the reason why the Ukrainians are fighting the Russians.

dunno; the aged induced bone spurs and arthritis sometimes makes me want to welcome annihilation. lol

leave it to ML users to debate subjective experience

here’s the needlessly incendiary part of this exchange.

– assuming they’re paying attention at all

til of waterfox and fennec; thanks for the reply.

i wonder how frustrating it must by for sachs to be so knowlege about the inner workings of the united states and its adversaries and watch and they take painfully obvious steps into mutual annihilation, but be so widely disregarded by americans and the rest of the western world.

if there ever was a living representation of cassandra, it’s him.

doesn’t the picard maneuver involve light speed trickery and a ferengi ship? lol

it’s hard to imagine the united states not using ukraine in the future as a proxy war zone to further weaken russia, so this makes me wonder if this is a gambit to light a fire on the feet of the eu to get them to purchase more from the american military industrial complex over the eu’s preference in waiting years for their own cottage military industrial complexes to catch up.

And we’ll do more in the near future; like netanyahu wanted

and implying that the united states didn’t help is willful ignorance at best since its diplomats worked to convince the iranians that it wasn’t going to happen.

It isn’t a short read

I’m convinced that this is why Americans don’t know
