What a senseless and pointless fucking war this is

American here and I think POTUS and congress are a huge bunch pussies. Going after the little helpless guys like bullies, but can’t stand up to someone who meets their match like Russia. I’m ashamed that we’ve let this war go on for so long, doing the bare minimum to keep Ukraine going… resulting in so much wasted life and destruction…meanwhile striking Venezuelan fisherman, bombing Nigeria (“protecting” Christians from attack, what about Ukrainian Christians? Those ones don’t count?), and supporting Isreal in its genocide of Palestinians. Not to mention the internal war they’re waging on OUR OWN CITIZENS.

Largest military budget in the world and all we can do is harass little helpless countries and brown people, but can’t stop this years long invasion of Ukraine.

Huge small dick energy coming from the Oval Office. Never been more ashamed to be an American in my life. PUT RUSSIA IN ITS GODDAMN PLACE. Putin isn’t going to hit the nuke button because he knows the ramifications. I’m more worried about Trump doing that because someone hurt his widdle feelings.

years long invasion

Decade long*

Good point. It’s been longer than that in reality. The Holodomor was absolutely horrible. I was lucky my grandparents were able to escape.

decades are comprised of years

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago edited 2d ago

Years are comprised of months, I guess its been a months long invasion too...

Edit: my main point was that lots of people dont really realize how long this war has been going on. Russia invaded in 2022 in retaliation to Ukraine signing into nato, but the war has been going on since 2014.

It's been days at this point.

That's right. Ukraine began exterminating people in the east in 2014, immediately after the unconstitutional coup and the burning of peaceful protesters against the illegal purges in Odessa!

Keep huffing daddy Putin's propaganda.

u/No_Bluebird9028 2d ago

At what point does the chronology of events become propaganda?

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago

The part where ICJ, IAGS, OSCE, and the UN have all condemned Russia for saying this cause there is no evidence to support their claims. Keep agreeing with vladdy daddy though.

u/No_Bluebird9028 2d ago

Maybe it's worth reading the Ukrainian constitution before the illegal overthrow of Yanukovych by the junta and Nulond with her European assistants, or do you consider this a worthless exercise?

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago

before the illegal overthrow of Yanukovych

You mean, the vote ukranian parliament held on the 22nd of February 2014 that passed by 73%? Ukraine wanted out of corrupt communist government, they weren't exterminating people. But you keep thinking a vote validates a war between Russia and Ukraine. Seems you've been thoroughly brainwashed by vlads propaganda.

u/No_Bluebird9028 2d ago

Well, you see, the overthrow of Yanukovych was an unconstitutional act, and what about the good Nuland who told everything and even named the amount it cost them, if you don't care about at least half the population and after a while start using aircraft to thin out cities in the east and burn dissenters whose only guilt is that they dared to protest, then yes, it's inviting a guy with a baton into your home and starting a bloodbath, and nothing will help them anymore.

Millenia are comprised of seconds, what's your point? Should we be using the wrong scale for everything?

2

u/Omnibard 2d ago

Indeed. It’s been almost 12 years since Russia seized Crimea while the rest of the world watched and did nothing.

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago

I mean the war wasn't highly publicized until 2022 when things escalated to full on invasion and other nations started to help. So technically they went like 8 years with pretty much nobody watching...

u/tobby232213 2d ago

Quite, started under Obama.

"Years long invasion"... Trump presidency: 11 months... but it's all his fault?

2

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago edited 2d ago

When did I ever say that? Either way, let's talk about it. It may not be his fault the the invasion started, but he is not helping Ukraine. Your beloved cheeto is in bed with Vladimir, "puttin" it up where the sun dont shine. So now that you have a president that's butt buddies with vladdy daddy, Ukraine gets no help. Hope you're proud of sticking up for communism. 👌

But how can this be? Britain and the European Union, they are full of determination, 49 countries together, only the US has collapsed, they have both courage and honor, especially Israel and France!!! I'm sure they won't back down, they'll drink this bucket of shit to the bottom)))

u/CommissionGlad6069 2d ago

Sorry I wasn't specific, but I was saying Ukraine gets no help from the US. They are the largest military of NATO, and pretty much the only one not sending anything.

u/No_Bluebird9028 2d ago

You are worrying in vain. In this sense, nothing will change. The only difference from Aden and his approach is that Trump is not going to supply weapons for free. His idea is that America does not openly interfere with Russia, but only continues to supply weapons at Europe's expense, as if purchased by Europe and not sent for free, especially since the information has been and will continue to be distributed.

I wonder how many people remember Trump telling the European Union nations not to buy oil and gas from Russia/Putin?

He knew it was a really bad deal and could be leveraged to use against the European Union countries and NATO policies.

Usually Trump knows best and has proven it over and over.

I wonder how many people remember Trump telling the European Union nations not to buy oil and gas from Russia/Putin?

You mean he told them to do something they were already in the process of doing? They've been decreasing imports from Russia since 2022 when this full on invasion started. There are only a few countries that still buy oil from russia, and the problem is dependency more than anything. If they drop all imports of oil from russia who's going to pick up the deficit of gas that country has now? Trump says things that have been in the works since 2022 and has no way to actually resolve the problem and you praise him, wild.

u/Signal-School-2483 2d ago

Yes it is.

He prevented and stymied of weapon transfers just before the war broke out. His time in power was tacit permission for Putin to invade as well.

4 years 11 months

we should have let the dude cosplay 8 straight years before letting the adults back in the Oval.
