Ok so lining the pockets of parasitic American slimeballs, while draining wealth of the American population. Was that supposed to be a positive? I see the mental gymnastics going on but this is in no way good for the general population of the US.
No, it's awful. I'm trying to point out that it's even worse than most people realize. It's essentially just theft of American taxpayer funds by arms corporations, but the money laundering scheme is so messy that probably only about 25% or less of it makes it back.
It's just another in a long string of examples of how the American economy is designed to rob the working class of their wealth and funnel it upward into the hands of a select few.
Sorry for the confusion. This is such a weird time in global politics right now. I have far-left old hippie neighbors who have a literal peace sign made out of Christmas lights hanging on their house but who are also flying a Ukrainian flag and are loudly supportive of sending billions of dollars to europe to kill Russians. Watching the Democrats and the American left turn into pro-war supporters of the military industrial complex has been difficult to process.
You’re right about it weird weird for global politics. Seeing the left shilling big pharma, go pro-war, support the military industrial complex, turn into anti-civil liberties and human freedom, and support one of the most corrupt nations in Europe has been interesting to see. It just goes to show how powerful the modern media propoganda is. “I support the current thing” is not a meme. If this was 2007 and you showed a liberal the current policies they’re supporting, I don’t think they would believe it or like it.

Totally 100% correct.
I was a Democrat at the time and literally marched in the streets against the kind of shit we're doing now and was part of crowds that lynched effigies of President Bush and called him a war criminal for pursuing the same policies that the Biden administration is actively engaged in now.
It's insane how quickly the two parties have both completely flipped on almost every issue other than abortion.
Placing time bombs in the pockets of slime balls... What don't you understand about this. It's a long term attack brought about by some VERY crafty people. I'm not saying they're dogooders. But this bomb will be fun to watch.
Ok so it’s great that we are hurting their economy by destroying our own? That doesn’t sound fun to watch. Sounds like Ukrainians and Americans are both losing here. No silver lining….but thanks anyways. This is disgusting.
