Trump Pauses Military Aid to Ukraine After Clash With Zelenskiy
-
Lemmy is also filled with a lot of stuff. Not a reason to bring it up in random out-of-context conversations.
Go preach to people who do that. Here you were just trying to throw shade at Ukrainians. "See, everyone is bad?!"
-
Even through speaking of theoreticals, I firmly believe that no societal system can ever work if the vast majority of people are shallow and cruel. The closest thing would be a benevolent monarchy, but that benevolent monarch would still need soldiers to enforce rulings, and then some of those enforcers would end up being shallow/cruel, etc...
-
You claiming i'm somehow throwing shade at ukrainians is way more out of context than pointing out that a comment sound racist
-
In fact it’s not racist even in that case.
Keep on replacing countries until you get it
-
I can try all the atlas. It's not a matter of which country. I am contesting the principle.

You are trying to fabricate sympathy for Russians in a post where nobody is attacking them (as russians), about Ukraine military aid.
You know what you are doing, you can make the paraculo as much as you want. -
Imagine if i were pointing out a racist comment against mexicans and you come up saying i'm trying to fabricate sympathy for them...
-
It's exactly how trump operates. See the threat he posted this morning to block federal funding to universities that "let students protest" - he's going to block funding anyway, he just needs a plausible way to blame them for it.
Same thing here - a plausible way to blame Ukraine for withdrawing US support.
Plausible to maga anyway.
-
Yeah, I know... I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and silently weep for whatever is left of my children's future.

Isn't this more or less what T-bag said he would do?
-
Not justified, but the western version of the event is extremely falsified. Hakim has a good video on the topic.
My point is that the US has not been willing to escalate by using live rounds
Police violence aside
-
Guess what. War is gonna happen regardless. Except now the Ukrainians are going to have a harder time fighting back, while the russians start their pogroms.
-
You are not though. That's the point. You are making up bullshit to pretend you are to use "pointing out racism" as a moral shield. Pathetic, in fact.
-
Ok? Ukraine is obviously not targeting civilians in their drone strikes so your point is completely moot.
-
Ohhhh man we're gonna primary them so hard.
-
Only if you ignore the context.
If I said “Mexico isn’t even trying to end this war” and you said “they are literally shooting every American that steps across the border!” it would not sound odd at all.
And it certainly wouldn’t sound bigoted against an ethnicity.

The only remedy for abuse of power is impeachment, and that requires 50% +1 of the House of Representatives and 2/3 of the Senate. No president was ever convicted of impeachment charges. Democracy was only upheld by "norms and traditions" and with trump's disrespect for that, this is where we are... Checks and Balances only works against a corrupt individual, doesn't work against an entire party working together to destroy democracy.
-
The answer is simpler than that: the “checks and balances” system is a facade created to prevent meaningful progressive policy from passing.
Checks and Balances always work in favor of the more evil side.
The "Good Guys" would respect the checks of balances, making it harder to enact good policies. The "Bad Guys" would just ignore all this, and just use executive orders for everything, as we can see this administration doing right now.
Checks and Balances can only prevent corrupt individuals, it prevents one branch from becoming evil, not an entire party that has taken over all 3 branches of government, and working together to destroy democracy.
