  Defund israel all you want. But leave Ukraine funding alone, they’re defending their land against russian invaders and deserve our support.

  SLAVA UKRAINE!

    this is how a lot of “conservatives” feel but reversed… instead we don’t want to see either of these wars publicly funded while America’s resources are strained…

      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.

      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.

    I honestly think the worst thing for the Ukraine right now is more funds to fight a war that they basically cannot win.

    It’s completely lost.

    They need to negotiate for a peace - not pour $61 billion trying to arm those unwilling to fight who are hiding and shirking from responsibility, sending them headlong into meat grinders to go and fight for the Donbass…

    The Donbass which arguably didn’t want to be part of Ukraine 3 years ago, and which definitely is a wartorn hellhole right now that has become the de facto home for Ukrainians who fled there that were against the Kiev government.

    It’s a really wild situation, pal, and prolonging this war will only bring countless more dead.

    Russia is not getting pushed out.

      Russia is not getting pushed out.

      they’re literally filling ditches with meat and fields with dead soviet retreads. russia is getting it’s shit pushed in bud. Russia has lost over 3500 officers in just a couple of years. Russia is going to get kicked out of Ukraine, Crimea and maybe even Georgia, bet.

  Why do conservatives always have to hide their politics in alternative meme spaces?

  • Woozythebear@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Polls show that most Americans don’t want to fund Israel or Ukraine.

      Shut up, that has nothing to do with what I said, and it’s a disingenuous framing of the topic.

      You can’t even share a source with your bullshit propoganda, but only an idiot would think Ukraine and Israel is a single topic.

  First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

  Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

  Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

  Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

  Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

  I live in a NATO country pretty close to the russian border. I’m very much of the opinion that Ukraine will become our war if we don’t arm them to the fucking molars. I don’t want to become what full scale war would make me. First thing you’re like “omg I have to flee” and before you know it your drenched in blood looking at a ritually mutilated corpse. I’ve played enough far cry to know what to expect.

    sounds doubtful, it’s just more war propaganda to make more money, see: hilariouschaos.com/post/166990?scrollToComments=t…

      Yeah because Putin absolutely didn’t invade Chechnya or Georgia and noone in Russia has ever spoken openly about invading Poland and the baltics.

      Don’t be an idiot, just watch Russian telegram.
