    Once in a while, you just stop and shake your head. Such a dumb war. Billions down the drain, money we could've used anywhere else. Even if you don't care about investing in the poor, that money could have built our future: research, infrastructure, real progress. But no. Someone had to burn billions on a vanity war, just to distract from his own failures and line the pockets of oil producers, the backbone of his political financial support.

    Meanwhile, China keeps investing, keeps building, laying the groundwork for the next tech revolution. And we'll be left in the dust, dragging old coal plants back online to foul our water and our air, while China marches forward with clean, modern technology that actually moves its people ahead.

    If Iran attacks Israel or the US, I wouldn’t look at it the same way. There is a massive difference between starting a vanity war and defending your people, allies, or values.

    But somehow you still voted for the person who started this crap and kissed the guy's ass who started the Ukraine war. You support your allies when they ask for support. That's kind of the whole point of having allies.

    nobody attacked us - If they did, I would ofc support defending and attacking back.
    Israel is an ally - Not that I think we should be defending them at this point.
    Ukraine is not an ally. We need to stop being the global police.

    Ukraine is not an ally. Ukraine is not an ally. Ukraine is not an ally. Please write this sentence a 1000 times, like an adolescent who can not get a simple concept in their head.

    I do not support or condone anything Putin has said or does. Im not a simple bot who needs to repeat the obvious. I dont need to remind myself and vocalize daily that Putin started the war and that he is the bad guy. You might need to do this as you struggle getting past very simple and basic concepts and easily get confused when your instructions change.

    I don't need to be shamed for who I voted for. I voted in my best interest, not to your programmed world view. I would still vote Trump over that r****d Harris. I knew what I was voting for and I am not the least bit surprised. And i still think Harris is one of the worst candidates to be put on the general election ticket of my life time. She is a dumb incompetent person who couldn't even win a single race in the Democrat primaries. She also handed the Democrats one of their worst presidental election losses in my lifetime. She is a loser and you obviously support losers. No surprise.

    Ukraine is not a formal “treaty” ally but has been a strategic partner (informal ally). Same with many other countries that we are friends with like Taiwan. And for that reason, we support but not directly engage.

    You can F off with the not an ally crap. We signed an agreement that we would support them when they gave up their nukes. If these agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on, then Ukraine could build a nuke within a year. They have the resources, material and know-how. They had the third largest stockpile in the world when they gave them up.

    China is deploying solar farms everywhere they can think of, installing more wind turbines in one year than we have total and ramping up their manufacturing. In the mean time we're paying companies to cancel their wind projects. We canceled all solar subsidies for individual houses but got hundreds of billions to bomb Iran.

    It's honestly depressing seeing how the US has completely given up on the future cuz a large chunk of the population is obsessed with Lgbtq folks and beyond brainwashed

    I remember your dumbass claiming you had to vote for Trump cuz he was "pro crypto" candidate who would make you money in bitcoin lol. Now crypto has been destroyed cuz he's too busy peddling crypto scams sucking out liquidity from real projects.

    Your health insurance premiums went up and crypto portfolio got destroyed yet you still sucking off Trump lol. You're sincerely braindead

    China is adding ~1 GW of renewable energy every day to power its future (that’s right, every day). Meanwhile, during a massive AI boom that desperately needs electricity, this admin have already paid companies $2.7 billion to wipe out ~20 GW of planned (or already in the work) wind power.

    It's mad.

    who is we kemo sabe? Me? You? Because if it wasnt a congressional act, its an agreement with the administration, not the country. Ukraine is not a formal ally. We shouldnt be playing world police. It is arrogant and facist to think the world requires American Democracy

    Im so confused. Did you really believe that I have the capability to look through vast numbers of multiverses to know what would could have happened under a Harris administration? You watch too many comic books, Captain What-If.

    Her voting record shows what mainstream America thinks of her. She is a loser. Your problem isnt just with me, but everyone who refused to vote for her. Including the primaries.

    "we shouldn't be playing world police" lol dude Trump is literally on record saying we had to go to war with Iran on behalf of Israel. You have no issue with us being puppets to Israel and endangering us soldiers but draw the line at sending weapons to Ukraine.

    It just blows my mind how incoherent and utterly dumb you sincerely are
