And the US weapons manufacturers love this, it keeps their businesses profitable and employees busy |
Didn't the Soviet Union help the US and Europe? |
Yes, and so did Sadaam Hussein for that matter. We keep forgeting he was a "good guy" before he became a "bad guy." Zelensky really should read up on him, and Noriega and Bin Laden, and Qaddafi, and well you know... This behavior long predates Trump. |
Why is Waltz insisting Ukraine hand over half its minerals to the US OR ELSE? Sounds like a shakedown |
It wasn’t an accident. This was the model developed and pushed by US for decades - Europe doesn’t need arms, US is the police if the world and will protect them in exchange for other benefits. This was US policy and strategy for many years. And now MAGA is acting like this was unexpected, like Europe cheated them. BS |
That's exactly what it is. Republicans have turned their back on the system of alliances that has made the US the preeminent power in the world for the past 80 years. We have spent trillions and trillions to counter Russian aggression. And then Putin made a mistake and invaded Ukraine. For less than 5 percent of the annual Pentagon budget, Ukrainians have largely destroyed Russia's military capabilities. Ukrainian resistance has been a gift to the Western world. And now Republicans are swooping in like the Mafia to destroy Ukraine and reap the spoils of their new alliance with Russia. I am appalled and disgusted with the Republican Party. Ronald Reagan is doing cartwheels in his grave. |
Well we need the rare earth minerals (lithium) to build EVs…though Trump has said he will kill all EVs in the US. ![]() So why do we need these rare earth minerals? |
Yes we are abandoning our $1.9 trillion trade partners in Europe for Russia’s $391 billion total world wide trade. 110 billion of that Russian trade is with China and 50-60% is oil and gas. What are we doing??? |
I am increasingly convinced that the Republican Party has been captured by Russia. It's the only thing that makes sense. Absolutely everything Republicans are doing benefits Putin while harming America's core interests. |
This is like siding with Cuba over Mexico and Canada. There is absolutely no gain for the US. It is the opposite of our national interest economically, militarily and values wise. The Russians were caught placing bombs on commercial flights in Europe. Trump and the Republicans are corrupt putin stooges. Wake up America before it’s too late! |
I think you are rather misstating things, aren't you? If Ukrainians have "largely destroyed" Russia's military capabilities, would 20% of their land be occupied by Russia by now? Ukrainian resistance may have been a gift to the West but it most certainly hasn't been a gift to Ukraine, now was it? |
If the US removes sanctions and begins trading with Russia, Europe will cheerfully follow suit. |
This is the answer. |
Yes, OUR security. How can you be so foolish? |
I'm still waiting. Either you back up your statement with facts of you're a lying POS. |
