    Yep. A single billionaire funding a war effort is abhorrent.

    This one happens to be on the right side, but there’s absolutely no guarantee that his will be the case for any of these fucking psychopaths.who horde wealth. They all need to go.

      Counterpoint - under the current administration, paying taxes might help Russia more

        But would the current administration be the current administration without wealth hoarding psychopaths?

          It wouldn’t, but I think that ship has sailed already. I don’t see how your current governmental structure would ever fix that. It’s been a problem since citizens united, if not before

      Except he’s not funding a war, he’s funding the defense of a nation fighting for freedom and its right to exist.

      Ukraine didn’t get in this war as a pissing match with Russia. It was wrongly attacked and is a democracy defending itself. It’s had its children kidnapped and its civilians targeted. It will cease to exist if it loses. We don’t have a greedy capitalist funding an unjust war for profit as you’re trying to suggest. Helping Ukraine is the right thing to do. Refusing to help them will simply result in Europe fighting a better-resourced Russia later.
