'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates

You can protest, and you have access to weapons thanks to 2A. Americans can do much more than people in other countries.
The richest liars want you to think that you can only vote and then present you with the choices they have vetted to maintain the oligarchy.

US is still a superpower.
-
I shit on 'em both.
-
True, true! For now. I really hope US will reverse its current direction. A superpower needs both military strength and global influence through aid and presence. While the U.S. has cut foreign aid and withdrawn from international agreements, China is expanding its influence - especially in Africa.
-
And Netanyahu's as well. Fuck the USA AND Israel.

When will the boomers fucking die already?

Update: Angry rant delivered as promised.
I've been calling my congressman's office to angrily rant at his staff every other day for the past few weeks. I plan to do the same tomorrow and Ukraine will be the topic of my rant.
Not sure if it will do any good since he's a shithead Republican and probably doesn't care about my opinion.
-
yep. in every single election, not just presidential ones.
Far more than lifting a finger. That alone puts you in the non-evil third of our population.

As we all know, the apartheid ethnostate gets dibs. Sorry Ukraine.

When are americans using the second amendment to overthrow this dictator? I mean its what they sacrificed all these children for right? To be able to "defend" their democracy. I always called it bs, now they have a chance to proof it
-
There needs to be some sort of empathy test to weed out the selfish dipshits that wanna run for authority positions.
Unfortunately, while the people who want power shouldn't have it, the people who should be in power don't want it.
-
Against the government - no of course not. Against the handful of people driving it into the ground - absolutely.
... and what's 'fine' is at the mods' discretion. I've been temp banned several times for having basically this conversation. Thing is, the options on the table right now are sit quietly and let the Nazis continue to take over the US government (shit tons of violence on a massive scale), or in the absence of any form of checks and balances to include effective peaceful protests or voting: cut the snake's head off (still violence, but the least violent option we have). ...but pulling that trolley lever to take the less violent path is still 'advocating for violence' here.
We'll find out soon if this comment crossed the line.

The Venn diagram of people who are all over 2A rights and people who are trump supporters has significant overlap.
-
We need more Luigis, that's for sure.
-
My rep doesn't give a shit lol, he's cheering it on
-
*expanded previous comment - original version was posted from mobile which is significantly more tedious to rant on.
And yes, more Luigis please!!
-
From my country, it's just surreal to watch the lack of reactions from Americans. It looks like they mostly support the actions of the co-nazi dictators, a really bad picture to say the least.
-
US is not really withdrawing, just restructuring\diversifying its investments so to say, from guys like EU to guys like Milei/Netanyahu/Putin, which is not really new for US foreign policy.
It's what Russia does that has cost it even dictatorships from among its former allies, but their strategy is based on "there's no other place for them to go", with Armenia and Georgia this is correct (despite all the pretentious words neither got hard backing from the west), with Central Asian nations not really, with Ukraine undecided.
The obvious difference - US really is what thieving jerks in charge of Russia pretend to be. What Russia can't do, It can.

Immigrants from Eastern Europe tend to have such alignments. Ukrainians even more than Russians.
