I love how sick Americans have to tighten their belt to give weapons to a hopeless endeavor. It’s like, “honey, kids, I know we’re short on food and medicine, but i gotta go gamble our money away. We’ll score big this time!” Totally delusional.
We’ll score big this time!
More like “Our military industrial complex will strike big time” - and note this isn’t even gamble for them since they get the cash no matter what will happen, this is just ordinary fund transfer from taxes to private pockets.
Biden may actually go down in the books as one of the worst presidents in US history. All these real, tangible domestic issues going on and he’s still doing that “Let’s send obscene amounts of money to wars in other countries” bullshit. Extremely disappointed.
Nikolay II moment
Biden does not give a shit about climate change, public health, labour laws, racial grievances, and infrastructure. He is a renaissance man of irresponsibility
The media still praises him. And I suspect that history books will, just like they do his predecessors

Just seen the ‘Russia boutta find out why we don’t have healthcare’ memes already. Yes, this is exactly why. No, it’s not a funny meme. But in a week or two libs will start complaining again about roads, human rights, healthcare, poverty etc. Life for them is just getting internet point.

Don’t get me wrong I’m terrified of a US invasion anywhere, but they don’t have the best track records to say the least. The Russian army is not some sort of rebel group lol.
The US military is extremely skilled and competent in mass murdering innocent civilians. Actually achieving military objectives, not as much.
When I close my eyes and imagine “the left” I imagine my Bernie bro cousin who joined the military.
Believe it or not, the US military used to be much more competent in the past, since they were trained to fight an actual competent military force, the Warsaw Pact. However since the end of the Cold War, they have become absolutely worthless (compared with their budget, they are still a dangerous force mind you). Since the 90s US wars werent about effectively defeating communism, but about making money for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc. In that case, the more ineffective they were, the better, since it meant more spending, thus more profits. They got used to needing 800 billion dollars a year just to massacre a bunch of goat farmers in Afghanistan, so now its nowhere near enough to defeat a modern competent military force like Russia.
When I was in the service, it was pretty much an open secret that if we went to war with China or Russia we would lose badly until we overwhelm them with sheer numbers or at least break even. That was Commanders saying shit like that, meanwhile all the grunts truly believed that we were invincible.
At the same time, in a thread about Shell’s profit, they understand this is by default and companies wont stop to fuck us over. Sometimes they’re so close but don’t dare to touch the hot topic for some reason.
Edit: I take solace in the fact that Reddit is not an accurate display of society and that more and more people in this world see what can be done different. ~this is copium yes~
It’s pretty disturbing to me that people have found a way to turn a serious issue with our spending into a funny maymay. I guess the idea that someone is going to get blown up is a “welcome” distraction to your real problems.

The entire war has been turned into shitty memes. “Ghost of Kiev”? “Saint Javelin”? That’s something I’ve been saying for months. The very real suffering of people on the ground is nothing but “le funney maymays” for libs and libs adjacent people.
This is hilarious. $10b in Covid relief is a stumbling block to passing $30b in war crime money so dump the Covid relief. Vote blue no matter who. Sri Lankans are showing the US proles how to get it done.
We’ll push Biden to the left!
Biden: I’d like to start a proxy war to benefit my weapon manufacturing friends.
OMG so dreamy! Anyone who dislikes this is a tankie which is basically a Nazi if Nazis were bad!
The absolute state of the US empire
But my harm reduction!!!
Seriously hilarious to see a Democrat president with democrat control of Congress trying to pass a bill that the majority of Americans support claim that the aid for all Americans has to be cut because Republicans said so
So its aboutta be Great Depression 2 Electric Boogaloo?
I’ve seen people claim it will boost the economy greatly. It’ll trickle down guys! We’ll see what happens really. Ukraine gets new weapons though. Wonder if that’ll backfire.
“I’ve seen people claim it will boost the economy greatly. It’ll trickle down guys! We’ll see what happens really. The Mujahideen gets new weapons though. Wonder if that’ll backfire.”
lmao
I mean, it worked in short-term, didn’t it? It created massive economic problems in USSR and did a lot of damage in the trust the population had in the Soviet leadership.
lmao how will war benefit economically if we aren’t able to exploit people
Ukraine gets new weapons though.
Considering the front news, US is just arming Donbass military, indirectly.
You may not be able to get help with Covid, but rest assured, we will use this opportunity to make a fuckton of money from killing people.
Wasting taxpayer money to claim that Russian humanitarian intervention is unprovoked and unjustified as an excuse to abandon their own citizens <- Is this supposed to be authoritarianism?
I’ve seen ukrainian soldiers saying US weapons don’t work or that they don’t have enough amo. So where the fuck is this money going? This is the greatest money laundering scam on US and European people that I’ve ever heard of.
It’s a couple trillion short of the money laundering scam they ran in Afghanistan for 20 years.
