  1. Give Ukraine the money!

    edit: Fortify Ukraine with what they need!

  2. Zelensky should remind the USA that they signed the Budapest memorandum and they should honor that signed agreement.

  5. I swear this guy needs a Key & Peele style “Anger Translator”; this is the most diplomatic way yet that I’ve heard him say “We are fucking dying can you PLEASE just send a couple more AA systems and artillery shells our way?”

  6. It was interesting to see that the US and UK saw no reason to not directly engage of the air defense of Israel last night. I’ve seen reports of US warplanes taking out up to 25% of the air targets that Iran launched. Remind me again, why was defending the skies such a taboo issue when Ukraine was invaded?

  8. Can’t, Republicans are openly pro fascism now.

  9. Zelensky, IIRC tried to frame this war as “free world vs her enemies” immediately after Oct 7th.

    “Free World” rhetoric was sop overused in previous generations that no one wants to hear it. But, he was right. That is the actual paradigm. It’s unavoidable. Avoiding it is mostly petulance and privileged naivety.

    There is no other paradigm.

    Besides being the only operative paradigm, it’s the only viable option for all the things that the UN fails at. Where the UN is irrelevant, sidestep it.

    That paradigm once existed. It worked. It created stability and flourishing for most who joined wholeheartedly.

  10. Pretty sure the US has been begging its allies to fortify themselves for a couple decades now, not sure why its our responsibility to fortify other sovereign nations.

  11. Americas allies: US needs to stop policing the world.
    Also Americas allies: HALP!

  12. I truly believe Ukraine deserves more aid.

    However, can we speak on the irony that everyone clowns on the US until they want Big Brother to step in and solve their problems?

    Yes, I understand WW3 implications. That’s why I want them to get aid.

    However, people treat the USA like a friend they shit talk profusely until they need something and start to suck up.

    People say America shouldnt be the dictators of the world, and yet.. Then ask them to do it. Which do you want? America to mind their own business or to attempt world peace across the entire planet?

  13. Indeed. While western nations dither on action and support the axis of evil: Russia, Iran, North Korea with some Chinese support, do not hesitate on concerted action and movement forward – autocrats have no feeling or ideals of humanitarian goodwill inhibiting their hostile intent and action.

    As Zelenskyy has stated many times were Ukraine to be defeated and occupied by Russia it would merely be a prelude to what is next – an attack on another sovereign nation in the EU.

    Time for America and all western allies to wake the fuck up and take the threats from the autocrats seriously. The problem being that Russia has successfully taken a strong presence in the Republican Party in America and owns outright several Republican politicians.

  16. Ukraine more so than Israel. They’re facing an existential threat from Russia.

  17. What does Zelenskyy think Iron Dome is? a lone Israeli venture? that shit is built with American dollars

  18. It’s okay Zelenskyy, as long as you aren’t planning on bombing Iran’s embassy and killing one of their top generals you’ll be fine.

  20. Ukraine’s immediate neighbours like Poland and Romania should be helping him first. America can worry about it later when Putin starts flying planes over the Atlantic or the Pacific.

  21. Or a wake up call that bombing foreign embassies warrants a response regardless of what country does the bombing

  22. The only threat to Western Europe/US is nuclear war and terrorism. Putin is a monster but he has kept an iron fist on Russia’s nuclear arsenal for decades. He is a predictable monster.

    Once you factor that fact into the decision making on foreign policy of the EU/UK/US then things make more sense.

  23. That means Israel and maybe send the U.K. a few more rental nukes.

    NATO is an after thought to those.

  24. A lot of people, many of whom understandably seem to be favoring an anti-war stance, don’t seem to get that we are already in a Cold War.

    Ukraine is a nation that sees itself as a Democracy, and wants Democracy. As do Poland, Lithuania, Moldova, Estonia, and yes, Israel. Putting your head in the dirt doesn’t change this, and we in the US need to support these nations. If Ukraine falls, the nations that understand what will happen if Russia claims its resources become more likely to intervene.
