No.

We can't get murders to zero, so I guess we just have to live in a militarized police state??? 🤷

The reason is that any time America wants to build something, dozens of corporations need to be involved and they all have to not only be paid to build it, they need to make a profit, their executives need a bonus, and the shareholders need a buyback program. This is the inefficiency of capitalism.

People are just parasocial with these influencers so they don't want to believe it. If the story was about a right-leaning influencer, all these liberals would be outraged.

Obama was not a good president.

Also the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan were clearly neocolonial. We didn't intend to take territory, just extract resources, protect existing resource extraction, ensure capitalism is the dominant global force, and prioritize the needs of multinational corporations.

You're drawing a line that purposely excludes the kind of illegal activity that the US engages in, neocolonialism. The US has been part of some 80 coups/attempted coups. Since 2000 we targeted: Haiti, Venezuela, Honduras, Paraguay, Bolivia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and even Ukraine in 2014.

They do. The US, Russia, and China are the countries that get to do this kind of thing. You may have noticed how international law doesn't apply to the US when we invade other countries and let Israel occupy and genocide people. Powerful nations have been getting away with it forever.

Israel has been doing it for years with the US providing international cover and Russia took Crimea back in 2014 so I'm not sure we live in the world you described. Powerful nations just get to do this kind of thing.

Ok bro, keep fantasizing a horrible thing that isn't happening and encouraging the continuation of a hopeless war.

Did America appease the Vietnamese communists when we abandoned our war. How about the Taliban in Afghanistan, did we appease them? It's called losing a war. They need to stop sacrificing a generation of Ukranian men to a war they literally cannot win.

You know the reason this war wasn't settled years ago is that weapons manufacturers make more money the longer this goes on, right? Countless deaths could have been avoided, but people like you keep getting tricked into supporting endless conflict.

Russia has taken 20% of Ukraine despite the west dumping hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons and now we are at a stalemate. The war has been lost. Face reality.

That's insane. Sending troops risks nuclear war. Giving up 20% or whatever is better than nuclear war.

Ok so what do we do, just keep letting millions of people die? You're the one treating them like video game soldiers. This is all going to end with an agreement one way or the other. Fighting forever doesnt help Ukrainians.

I understand that people want justice for Ukraine and for Russia to be defeated, but Russia has outlasted the west. Our countries are not going to pay for the war to go on forever just to be a stalemate that continues slaughtering Ukrainian soldiers.

Of course they will keep fighting, but they will lose more territory as their army dwindles. I don't know why people want the war to continue. 1.7 million Ukrainians have died and they gain nothing by continuing.

Ok, but Ukraine will run out of soldiers and they will continue to lose territory. Russia has more men, time, and patience. It seems like they won.

Is he wrong though?

Hey 😏

Incredible.

Well he's failing by his own standard and should step down lol

People don't know how read and understand the news. There is no way they know how to interpret underlying themes in a TV show. 😆

Great, now we can find out about what music he likes and read his thoughts on college basketball while we descend into fascism.

These universities exist to make money. If their money is threatened, they will instantly drop free speech or whatever liberal value you think they are supposed to uphold.

Not russia specifically, but america always sides with fascist leaders in order to extract resources. We arm the fascists to crush democracy and we take what we want.

America has always done this, the president just says it out loud now.

She's a relentless democrat defender. She's one of the people throwing their hands up saying "well, we don't control anything." A real progressive needs to push the party left and challenge the people running the party, so they can win again.

..and Jen Psaki is one of these "progressives" 🤔
