Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I share the sentiment here, but it looks more and more that neither the usa or eu have the resolve to continue even with the current puny support.
It seems that the dictator will get away with it. Realistic scenario is that Russia will not be able to get back into military shape for a decade and by that time putin will likely be gone and the world will have a whole different sets of problems.
Russia has no offensive capability. They are ground down. Putin has to mobilize again which he may not survive.
They are proving you wrong. They have enough soldiers that they pay a lot to join. Their drone capabilities are improving, they are in a war economy now and they can run that for some time for sure. Iran is helping, NK has stockpiles of munition and a thirst for rocket tech.
What does Ukraine have? EU that promises 1mio bombs and delivers 300k? Usa, where half the voters don't want to help anymore?
Let them use the. North Koren shells! They are old, bad, poorly made and are blowing up barrels. South Korea just gave a millions shells. Also, last time I checked, Russia had a mercenary group March on the capital. Russia is falling apart.
I wish I was that optimistic. Maybe I would be if there wasn't for a few hundred thousand armed Russians nobody cares about still available and the wavering minimal support from the west.
EU is a joke. At least the Americans gave the 30 year old long range missiles.
Half? Which corner of your ass did you pull this from?
What a cute ass comment, I guess? Would totally make sense if there wasn't the fact of a trump presidency.
Now tell me how that can't happen again.
It can happen again because the election system in the US is a fucking travesty.
All I meant to say was that there is no way 50% of Americans support Republican bullshit. More like a solid 30% who are gerrymandered and electoral colleged into power.
Pretty happy you found it cute though!.
That's why I said voters. It doesn't matter, that's not the point. Point is, it can happen again. Just a few slip ups from a frail octogenarian known for having slip ups. You think EU can pick up the slack? All they do is make vague promises then end up sueing eachother.
Fair enough. Cheers.
