UK citizens say it is more important to support Ukraine than to maintain good relations with US, survey shows
-
I think the UK can use this as an opportunity to improve relations with the EU, or to at least get a trade partner in Ukraine and to take a chunk of Russian assets. You get to be a good guy, and get rich by confiscating Putin's coffers.
Seriously, send in troops, and maybe the navy if Turkey permits. Do what American't.

The 2-party system is political inbreeding, and Trump is a Hapsburg.
-
They're right too. The US has the luxury of turning a blind eye. The UK and Europe does not.
-
Wow, when you straw man, you straw man hard.
-
Yeah, a LOT of Americans are treating this as business as usual, and it most certainly is not usual. Just because bad leadership has blown over in the past doesn't mean this is the same thing.
People are not panicking anywhere near the level they should because we need to take care of this NOW. Like now, now. I can't believe it ever got this far to begin with, but you are 100% right in saying that 4 years is far too long, and by then, it will be too late.

Still a better love story than...
Actually, no, it's not.

Sincerely speaking, I almost preferred the times when covid was the main topic compared to what comes out of news' mouth today
-
- The third of the people who didn't vote had Trump previous to realize what he'd do and still said "Meh, either's fine with me." They're complicit.
And 2. I get so fucking sick and tired of the "Dems are corporate shills" when the left can't be faffed to show up at voting. I don't mean the 4 year presidential votes. I mean the yearly all the way to the local shit. You want to know how we got Trump? Because the ultra-right made it a point to get in bed with the republicans and beat down doors to tell people to vote to secure the supreme court, to secure state positions, to secure fucking school board positions.
I have never met someone who had interest in Republicans who didn't think they paid attention to the news. It may be Fox and Infowars but they paid some attention. If I had a nickle for every individual who was interested in left wing ideals but told me "I don't know. I don't like politics" I'd have enough to afford a plane ticket out of this fucking country.

I absolutely agree, American democracy seriously needs to be reformed, as it is it is at best a dysfunctional democracy. And I think the evidence should be very clear on that now.
-
Very fitting analogy.
-
Am US citizen living in the UK. Can confirm.
-
heavily biased to the point that I think it’s natural for people to have a poor understanding of fascism.
There's absolutely a tendency to gloss over things in American teachings in general history included.
So yes I agree, that could very well be part of the problem.I learned through high school that the US had never lost a war.
Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan.
So I guess your point was easily mostly proven. -
Am UK citizen living in US. Halp.

Happy to send you branstons pickle or Cadbury or something to ease your anxiety, though.
-
American here and I agree. Our government is a disaster right now so it's better to focus on something actionable, like defeating Putin.
-
Half of our military bases are occupied by the Americans and we need your permission to do anything.
-
With a little luck the orange shitler will withdraw troops from Europe (yeah, no, I don't dare to dream)
-
I'm worried about the 32% abstaining / having no opinion, though.
-
I mean yeah, makes sense. Russia is a direct threat to us all. Fuck the US if they think their egg prices are more important than European security and not having dictators have their ways.
