Comment on Defund the War Machine

  Oh, you speak for conservatives huh?

  Then wake up: the vote for Ukraine aid was damn near down the middle. Once again, you don’t even know what your own party wants. And the american people, who they’re supposed REPRESENT, you know, as REPRESENTATIVES, feels overwhelmingly that the US should aid Ukraine.

  SO I think you should say: half of my party voted against aiding Ukraine, but the other half voted for it. Because THAT HALF AREN’T SIMPING FOR PUTIN.

  As a footnote, I find this “don’t want to see either of these wars publicly funded” - hilarious. Fuck that bullshit. Conservatives dragged the nation to war with Iraq over specious, ridiculous bullshit, and you want to suddenly espouse this? Your hypocrisy and self ignorance are boundless.

    Yes, that is our half, the conservatives

    you want to suddenly espouse this?

    We have been espousing this consistently since (and against) Iraq, it is the policy of non-interventionism. The neo-“conservatives” are the ones who want the aggressive wars and to be “world police”

      Ah like the isolationists in 1940, yeah, that’s a great look.

      yeah, somehow you’re even worse.

        I don’t think warmongering is a better look, or that WW2 couldn’t have been resolved contrary to non-interventionist policy, as it was the dominant U.S. policy up until that time: infogalactic.com/…/United_States_non-intervention…

  America’s funds going to Ukraine wouldn’t be straining our resources if we also defunded our own wars against various nations who haven’t done anything to us.
