How about getting rid of geo-political threat with the price of of 1 coffee cup? The War in ukraine is once in a century geo-political boon. It's actually more stupid not to send money to ukraine.
Not to mention getting rid of Russia would fix more than half of the world's problem. Trumpism Right wing in general to nazism are funded by the Rusky.
What specifically was the threat to NATO countries from Russia prior to the Ukraine conflict?
Even now, given that Russia is struggling to finish the conflict in Ukraine, the point has been very clearly made that Russia CANNOT take on NATO in a full fledged war, nor was there any sign it was planning to, given the state of its military prior to the Ukrainian conflict.
The people in the US Establishment need to find another outlet to relieve their frustrations over war-mongering fantasies and chasing down Don Quixote monsters. Plenty of great RPG games out there.
And while I personally find Trump and the US Right Wing abhorrent, Trump won the elections because enough Americans overlooked his xenophobia, prejudice, moral and ethical flaws and votes for him, and not because ‘the Russians funded him’. Even making that argument (Trump won because of Russian interference) is part of the problem, because it ignores the dangerous shift towards right-wing extremism domestically in the US.
Just look at the laws being passed in many Republican controlled states in the US, especially by the man who was the favorite after Trump - Ron DeSantis. Trump is a symptom of a extremist right wing shift in US politics that started long before he became President, and the Democrats are fucking idiots for still trying to play nice and be ‘moderate’, whereas the Republicans have moved the ‘Overton Window’ significantly towards the Right.
Thanks for this action, but why are @aziqbal‘s rants against Christianity not deleted or his post in which he claims all western men teach their daughters to act like whores, so show their tits and sleep with as many men as possible? This is not only simply a lie but also insulting!
I had no intention of moderating this thread, or even participating. I pretty much ignored it till I saw a notification that a member (whose posts I like to read) posted here, started reading the thread where I first posted, saw ZeGerman’s post that rankled me, and here we are.
Since there are thousands of pages on this thread, and I am sure thousands of posts that should be deleted, my hope is to just encourage everyone to move on from here.
