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!

And you honestly believe the Ukraine has any modicum of a chance at destruction of the Russian state? Are you delusional?
The North Vietnamese had no chance of destroying America, but the Soviets funded the VC and North Vietnamese to tie down American resources and increase internal strife at home. From a purely NATSEC perspective there is no downsides to sending old equipment from storage to Ukraine. Clears out old stock and requires production of modern equipment to replace it. The Republicans would have been all over this 12 years ago.
The only reason why republicans are against this I can imagine are:
You anti-american pro-russian magats are the delusional ones.
He's right on this one, you have no basis for that claim. You can't just call everyone who disagrees with you a magat. Well- obviously you can, but it makes you sound like a jackass.
What in the fuck is a magat?
maga with a t at the end, derogatory term used to describe supporters of donald The John trump
Your presumptions are not doing you any favors, nor are they correct.
You're not adding anything to these threads. You're just shouting "nuh-uh" at everyone.
Who ya voting for in November?
Neither of the old geriatric fucks
Neither of the sub human geriatric pieces of shit
Cool so you're voting for Trump.
Ignore them. The usual Russian troll farm posting on Lemmy.
It’s fascinating how presumptive people on lemmy are
Well, which question do you want me to answer? I don't think I sound delusional. I think you do.
Who said anything about destruction? Their stated goal is to reclaim stolen territory.
