-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ukraine? We're not fighting in Ukraine ffs. Losing? The jury is still out on that. If Russia is "winning" it looks an awful lot like losing to me.
Anyway...
Really all the wars are beneficial to the rich and esp the military industrial complex. I hope we all know that.
Invading Afghanistan was colossally stupid (from a geopolitical standpoint) and I said it would be a disaster as the sabers started rattling.
Vietnam and Korea... don't know much... I kind of assume it was red scare bullshit gone off the rails. Idk. Welcome to be schooled on that.
Listen to Blowback they got the education you need on Korea and Afghanistan, most recently.
Ukraine's Western Sponsors Running Out of Ammo & Out of Time
British Challenger Tank Destroyed in Ukraine + Heavy Losses Amid Failing Offensive
US Considers ATACMS as Ukraine's Offensive Struggles + Problems to Come
The jury isn't out on anything. Ukraine is finished, and NATO is running on fumes to supply it.
What in the world are you on about here? Present your case on why "it looks an awful lot like losing to me".
wait real question, didn't recent leaked info reveal american special forces already fighting in ukraine, or did I imagine that
In April, 14 US special forces, which are allegedly stationed at the embassy (more interesting imo are the 50 UK special forces out of a total of ~100 NATO troops). This came out in a leak on discord, and IIRC some US officials say it was valid.
