Russia and Ukraine

[Leonardo17]

So? Zelensky can dream about it but it won't be anything besides his dream.


I doubt it. In 2023 only 3 countries were over 5% Somehow I don't see it changing to great extent.


I'm more worried about him being fascist willing to fellate other fascists.

You've been screaming that Trump's a fascist since the election last November, what has he done since taking office last month that defines him as a fascist?  Has he outlawed and/or taken control of the media yet? Does he have control of the newspapers? Has he begun mandatory military conscription yet? 

Seriously, going through the government's books and cutting spending on things that don't benefit this country's own citizens? The huge amounts of waste and corruption in our government are being exposed by Musk, and it's much worse than we could have thought it would be. 

America first isn't just a phrase, it should be at the forefront of everything that our government does. If you hate this country of ours, why don't you just leave? Mexico or Canada are just a road trip away.

- This has always been an issue during the whole of the 20th century. No one wanted to join WW1 yet you had to. All those young men who lost their lives in D-Day probably had dreams and wishes for their future, yet they had to be there on that day. The US could have kept all that Marshall Plan aid to itself yet they didn’t. And the list goes on and on. Korea, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan…

    I’m not saying that the US should always keep policing the world at all times. But still, the US military budget is bigger than almost all other major military powers combined:

So this should be used for the right cause. Many people in the US are jobless, homeless, working in unsatisfactory jobs, unable to pay their student loans..
 
So this debate must be had somehow. But if all you want to do is “America first” Why do you need such an enormous military machine in the first place?
 
What I mean is that: This world is in full transformation toward a more human way of doing things but we are not really there yet. There will be Putin-like events both in Europe and also in other places in the future (In fact the next Putin might even be an American, That’s what I understand from D. Trump’s reelection). I hope and believe that there will not be the need for another D-Day / like sacrifice from anyone. But all major nations will still have to work (a lot) to maintain democratic values and systems.
 
You might check-out what happened in Hong-Kong for instance. The Tiananmen Square massacre of June 1989 isn’t even present in student books. All 2,500 deaths didn’t even happen.
 
And this parallels what Zelensky said today: Trumpists are not fascists but they are people living in this space of disinformation and they are drifting further away from reality every single day. That’s more dangerous than fascism actually
