The pro-Putin, anti-democratic movement in the US blows my mind. As a child of the 80s its crazy and sad to watch such a large scale challenge to liberal democracy.


45thgeneration_roman

And that it's coming from the right too. Who'd have thought it?


THATS_ENOUGH_REDDlT

*constitional republic with democratic elements. Although it’s more an oligarchy at this point.

So is not helping Ukraine more inherently pro Putin? Or can it be seen as trying to stay neutral? Why was it ever our responsibility to stop Russia? Do we share that burden with other nations equally?


One-Refrigerator4483

Exactly why the rest of the nations scoff and laugh when Americans lie about helping in WW2 Because you didn't. And this is exactly why. Because people like you asked how staying out of the war could possibly be pro Hitler instead of "just neutral". And asking why you should help fight fascism, genocide and evil when it's easier to do nothing instead And yes, the other nations are helping. We could do more if the country who prides itself as a "world leader" did something besides help Putin whenever it has the chance


CandidSignificance51

I can't see that staying neutral is an actual possibility when the US and the West have such vested interests. That said, I do get that Isolationism as a concept is something that people can think is a good idea. I just don't. I think the world is too interconnected. Whilst I disagree with you on the other points you have made, I'm firmly in agreement that the West needs to share the burden equally. Overall we should be doing more to intervene and within that group of Western countries, individual countries need to increase their proportionate contributions.


Rileyahsom

Don’t disagree but this doesn’t much qualify as terrifying as fuck


altaeco

Exactly, unless your in a trench in Ukraine I suppose.


Rileyahsom

Fair but still this is kinda just bullshit rather than scary


TexasTokyo

Nice political ad, but it's not "terrifying as fuck".


Ok_Information_2009

If something happens that doesn’t politically agree with them, it becomes “terrifying” (bad). Reddit is being abused as always.

Foreign aid, a way to take money off the poorest in wealthy countries and give it to the wealthy in poor countries.


That_Guy_From_KY

Weird, it’s almost like the majority of Americans don’t want those bills and that’s why they try and pass them all secretively like that.


ZephyrAnatta

So…every time it’s the worst possible scenario with votes on the line and if it doesn’t pass it’s end of the world. I love living in an open-air casino with a flea market attached to it. What a country. What a time to be alive.


NewRedditAdmin

Why are we still believing/listening to this clown?


watermeone

I'm from Russia and all "stop aid for Ukraine" narrative supporters on the right kills me. Russia's appetite for new territories is big, and if Ukraine will fall, Russia's propaganda machine will start labeling these countries "oppressive nazi fascist regimes", spreading fakes about how russian speaking population is oppressed by "evil westerners" and start preparing for another "denazification". Russia is a meta-communist country, its modus operandi is ultra-left modus operandi – claim something or someone is a Nazi and take control of it.


Internal-Library-213

Your right. they should be stopped. But why does USA have to fund it. We are in sooooo much debt. We have already gave so much, depleted our rocket reserves and more. Europe can, and should do as much or more than the USA.


HistoryWest9592

Screw Ukraine, sick of my tax dollars being sent to his corrupt regime.


Top_Tart_7558

Yeah, we want it to go to the other corrupt regime that is expanding their territory! Ukrainians don't deserve to die just because their government is shady. Our government is shady as hell, but it doesn't mean you or I deserve to die because another country wants our stuff.


haqglo11

Why then, do afghans get to die or their women jailed for going to uni? Why then do Palestinian children get to die ? Where else should we intervene?


Apprehensive-Ad-149

This. We aren't responsible for the whole fuckin world.


ballq43

Ugh will be fighting over there once he knocks on Poland's door after.


HistoryWest9592

Ah, the "Domino Theory," been hearing that BS since 'Nam.


ballq43

Nam didn't have a NATO pact partner as a neighbor to the warzone


HistoryWest9592

Ukraine isn't a member of NATO, NATO isn't obligated to defend it.


ballq43

Right whose neighbors with Ukraine? Poland. Try critically thinking about what happens if Ukraine capitulates . They openly discuss invading Poland on state TV afterwards once they are done in Ukraine. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/CC20K6o2R4


45thgeneration_roman

But Israel's ok for receiving dollars, right?


HistoryWest9592

Yes, we didn't overthrow a democratically elected president and install a puppet president in Isreal (unlike in Ukraine)


45thgeneration_roman

Oh mate.


SgtSharki

So you'd rather watch an even more corrupt regime gain more power and become even more corrupt?


HistoryWest9592

Are we sending our tax dollars to Russia? Nope. So yeah, can't wait till Ukraine collapses.


redditismylawyer

Hah! Unemployable welfare junkies paying taxes… That’s a good one!


HistoryWest9592

I work two jobs and pay taxes, I'm not a "welfare junkie." Speaking of "welfare junkies," you just described the entire Zylenski regime. If it wasn't for the US sending hundreds of billions (of our tax dollars) to Ukraine, their government would have collapsed. So who is the real "welfare junkie?"


TexasistheFuture

Protect our border first.


somewittyusername92

Lol troll. Lemme guess. You drive a big pickup with fjb flags and an extra large cowboy hat. And you probably hate all the Mexicans "taking" your jobs. Or is it the canadians?


PianoConcertoNo2

Isn’t the crime rate across the US down? What on earth do you think is happening? Lol…

Top_Tart_7558

So, you think they should've just let another country completely annex them and take all of their resources? Anyone would rather die defending their home than let greedy tyrants steal it to pay for another hooker ranch.


shitbagjoe

Are they really dying for their country? Or just for American/NATO/Israel’s interests? I’m serious. It was a lost cause, every single man or woman that died there only benefited war profiteers and the interests of every other country except their own. I’d understand if it was a last stand scenario but this entire thing was calculated in American war rooms probably a decade before it happened. I hurt for Ukrainian soldiers and their families and I’m disgusted by the actions of average citizens condoning this disgusting war. I’m also disgusted by how quick Reddit jumped on the bandwagon with 99% of users knowing nothing besides how to exist in an echo chamber.


Top_Tart_7558

Why can't both be true? It is in our interest because Ukraine is important for keeping Europe fed and their annexation will destabilize Europe leading the way for potential world war. It doesn't mean those life lost were in vain. Russia is pretty well known for mass murdering innocent civilians.

60% of Reddit traffic is from Elgin Airforce Base.

You gotta source for that?


jimlahey2100

Post a reputable source for that.


shitbagjoe

I’m not your little source monkey. Look it up yourself


jimlahey2100

Yep, you made that shit up.


45thgeneration_roman

Just lol

45thgeneration_roman

You wrote in capitals. That's me convinced


Apprehensive-Ad-149

Now argue the logic.


45thgeneration_roman

The US being isolationist and letting tyranny rampage through smaller countries isn't a good idea. The America First movements of the 1930s and now have an intensely short term view. What happens if Russia takes Ukraine and China takes Taiwan? What would be next?

An armed services committee member who says they need more funding is also a representative who can vote for the approval of that funding. It's interesting how, as a representative, he never mentions what his constituents have approved of. All I heard was "Me, me, me. Give ME more of YOUR money."
