what really confuses me as a non american is against all the trained fear of communism and Russia (maybe the latter one is justified), these conservative people still went and elected the one guy who is best buddies with Putin. We are talking about people who were about to revolt because they thought medicare is communism

I mean, not that they are ones for nuance, but I don't think present day Russia has anything to do with communism.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I agree but you can guess what the outcome of a poll in the US asking "is Russia a communist country" would come out as.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Next question:

What does or does not make Russia a communist country based on your previous answer.

Heads explode

I wish he'd fund meals for kids in schools with that money. We did it for awhile right after COVID but now lunch ladies have to go back to collecting food debt.

Funny thing is we can do both

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 3 hours ago

He isn't though.

[-] frozenspinach@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah I don't understand juxtaposing these as though it's one or the other.

What Biden really needs to do is remove restrictions on the use of their weapons to their European allies, so they can support Ukraine in his absence.

You want Biden to start WWIII before he leaves office?

[-] lambipapp@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

As a Swede and European:

Biden did not start this war. It was Putin. I say arm ukraine to the teeth before leaving office.

that's right, history started in 2022!

"Don't worry. I am sure they will stop after we give them the sudetenland. "

Here is the secret, Russia has already started WW3, the west is just not acting that way.

If it's almost certainly coming anyway then you may as well throw them a bone first

And if it isn't coming anyway, then you've done a little bit to screw up the plans of impending worldwide fascist domination

I'd call that a win-win

Give them a trillion. It'll only make Trump look bad if the budget comes up.

Plus it's, y'know... The last wartime aid they will get in Trump's America. We as a country will abandon them to bleed on the battlefield or die in their homes at the hands of invading Russians, our literal enemy. And Putin/Trump will smile as one...

"We as a country will abandon them to bleed on the battlefield or die in their homes at the hands of invading..."

It's the American way.

The party of peace and democracy demanding more blood the day after the reelection bid is over was a thing everyone on the left knew would happen. Might as well be magic to libs.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 day ago

Biden out means he'll do all the things he promised now right???...

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 4 points 10 hours ago

I doubt Biden is aware as he used to be he is rambling a lot worse I am not looking forward to all the best sellers describing his mental decline as he decided to run again
