Believe me, it’s there.

It’s just another Ohio, though. You don’t want to be stuck in Ohio.

I’m beginning to think his memory doesn’t stretch back that far…

Surely imperialist countries with interests in an area wouldn’t go and lie about things???

Next you’re gonna tell me the US lied about WMDs in 2001…

Probably “medical examiner” or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.

It’s not really heartbreaking when you know the reason the worst person you know is even talking is to try and distract from their own shit.

Doesn’t make it less true, just less heartbreaking.

The Budapest memorandum of 1994 ensured that the US and UK would "Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they “should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used”

That happened. It’s a promise to bring the issue to the UN security council for a vote on action. Not a promise to invade any attacking country.

What also happened is that Russia, a seat on the security council, has the power to veto, and a conflicting interest here that the UN decided couldn’t possibly be a problem in the future.

I’m not saying we have done enough.

I am, however, saying that we have held up our end of the agreement, as written on paper.

As far as I’m concerned, my country is 1/3 of the reason they’re in this mess, so we need to step in and directly protect them at the bare minimum. Ukraine isn’t safe until their borders are restored to pre-2014, their infrastructure is repaired and improved, and they have enough to defend themselves from Russia AND the US. And also the government stooges of Russia get put to death for forcing their population to fight and die against an opponent who never wanted a fight to begin with.

“Vladimir Putin says-”

Lemme stop you right there, pardner.

Don’t care.

If I had to guess, it’s because up until now you’ve held the assumption that the people in power know what they’re doing for the most part, and nobody was a dying felon in his last years on earth terrified of going to prison for raping children.

Now you are under no such illusions, and the people in charge ARE dying felons that rape children and have no morals, and the government doesn’t even want to try and check or balance itself.

It’s been hilarious to me that now that I have a full time job and can afford the expensive hobby tools and gear I’ve always wanted… And now it’s all way more expensive, in some cases nearly double the price.

Don’t even get me started on the fucking llm bubble and my plans to upgrade my computer and media storage…

And also everything is way more expensive, my neighbors would gladly murder me if they thought I had an “illegal” inside, and everything around me is on fire.

This is fine.

We’re going to have to find language that more effectively conveys what we should be saying.

“ICE don’t deserve to live and should all be executed for domestic terrorism, murder, and treason”

The Trump Files (feat. Jeff Epstein)

No, they mean department of defense.

The president and his cabinet don’t arbitrarily decide names. There are actual procedures to go about doing so.

Alternatively if you feel like it doesn’t matter since theyre all going along with it, I feel like the DOD and Gulf of Mexico are two of the very few entities it’s okay to deadname, along with Twitter.

it was a guarantee to:

respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t)

bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)

Most people I speak to have the impression that any attack on Ukraine meant the US would jump into full scale war mode to defend them. Honestly I wish it were. At least then it would have been harder for the Biden administration to essentially ignore.

“here’s a bunch of old equipment, good luck buddy” was technically more than required, but grossly inadequate.

As an American in my 30s…

Just don’t trust anything the US says, period.

Who knows if our 4-year mood/tantrum cycle will honor the deal in 15 years, let alone 5.

For the same reason that half the MAGAts in government that we have crimes + named suspects with mountains of evidence, and still no trial.

The same reason donld Trump incited a crowd of people, on camera, to go try and overthrow the government on a cold January morning 6 years ago, and despite people dying and people being murdered in the attempt, the person we have on camera starting it is now the goddamn president instead of in a cell or pine box.

We have no justice system. It only ever existed for whichever out group is being targeted. The rich and influential don’t exist in those groups and instead of trying to hide that like they used to, nowadays they just openly flaunt it.

Account less than a month old and posting uplifting news, while being salty about said news in the comments.

I smell astroturf.

American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.

I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”

LPT: don’t buy shit from the US. Especially not with any sort of contracts. Especially especially not if we’ve been threatening your country in any way. We clearly can’t be trusted not to have dangerous mood swings every 4-8 years.

And certainly don’t buy something with any sort of link back to its country of origin.

Lol American here and that’s all anyone around me was talking about yesterday.

But you don’t UNDERSTAND!
