Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.

  • They basically already are. They're not attacking because they can't, not out of measured caution.

  • I understand he's desperate but I'd lose a lot of respect for Zelensky if he went ahead with this. He of all people should know what it's like when murderous imperialists try to force regime change on you.

  • Yes and I wonder whose fucking fault that is. Hint: It's not only America.

  • Really, their incompetence is the silver lining in all this.

  • Gee, I wonder if there's some way they could've survived without needing to shoot down full drone barrages then. I wonder what that could be.

  • That strategy failed miserably against the Houthis.

  • Yeah that's true; I'm intentionally taking the bait because I make it a point to call out bullshit.

  • To be honest I didn't know that (WTF Trump), but the conversation is clearly about events after the full-scale invasion. The person I replied to implied Trump completely cut off aid to Ukraine after his reelection.

  • And how many of those are unfulfilled and/or watered down Biden promises? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. She did nothing to make people believe she was actually going to do these things; promising to put Republicans in her cabinet certainly didn't. Campaigning on fracking certainly didn't. Dickriding Israel certainly didn't.

  • But there's a huge difference between the progress of the 70's, and the insane armament and undermining of workers unions, the poor and even democracy that Reagan began in the 80's.

    Sure, except none of this is relevant to the topic. It's hard to argue that things weren't somewhat (and only somewhat) better in the 70s, but... so what? The pendulum was always going to swing in the other direction, and it did before the US did anything even close to redeeming itself. What's your point here?

  • Harris was also very progressive on policy

    Fucking delusional.

  • I mean, no need to lie; Iran is absolutely going to shoot at any US navy ships in their backyard.

  • You know BDS (if not look it up)? Do the opposite of that with Spanish companies.

  • And of the millions of people living in the US, all the minorities, all the people who didn't vote for Trump, all the vulnerable... just... fuck 'em?

    They can always overthrow him (and the rest of their ruling class). It's one genocide too late to worry about Americans; at this point the world has to move on and they can sink or swim. I'm not happy it had to come to this, but given their complete inability to reign in their ruling class I'm not going to complain now that nature is running its course.

    I don't really want an isolated pariah state with nukes, 10 aircraft carriers and the biggest army on earth.

    Me neither, but it's better than a murderous neocolonial empire with 1/4 of the world as vassal states. A lot, I daresay most, of the evil the US gets up to on a monthly basis is only made possible by the cooperation of its so-called allies.

  • he is the "unapologetically christian" candidate who polled very strongly with Whites and Independents.

    Sure, but that just means he's a guy who appeals to less progressive/more conservative people. Now putting that in the forefront is a decision, but that's different from modifying one's policies to appeal to conservatives. The latter is what's foolish; the former is the equivalent of accepting free lunch.

  • That's still 1970-1973, or four of ten years one would call "the 70s." That said, if you want more examples you can consult this list, among others. And let's not forget all the evil shit Israel got up to with American permission in this time period. Also... uh... mind responding to everything else I said? Unless you're conceding those other points, in which case fair enough.

    Response to your edit: The peace movement was nice, but neither it nor Carter prevented the US from installing and supporting foreign dictators, arming Israel or giving diplomatic cover to the Khmer Rouge. Carter was a good man if I'm not mistaken, but the state apparatus he presided over was as unapologetically evil as ever.

  • unfortunately another dude trying to appeal to moderates and conservatives, foolishly.

    What? This is a progressive who vowed not to take AIPAC money. How exactly is or was he trying to appeal to conservatives?

  • I want USA to go back to the optimism and respect for human rights they had in the 70's.

    The 70s? Like, during the Vietnam war? Or when they installed Pinochet? The US never cared about human rights.

    We (EU) support democracy and human rights

    Like in Libya? Or Israel? The idea of the EU as a shining beacon of human rights is nothing more than PR; it's just another neocolonial empire. Respectfully, you should (re)learn some post-WWII history.

    Cooperation is generally a good thing,

    Cooperation for good is a good thing; cooperation between tyrants to more efficiently practice their tyranny is a bad thing. The historical EU-US relationship falls under the latter category.
