    Ukraine United States is going to lose if Congress doesn’t send more aid

    The fact that everyone understands that the war in Ukraine is based on American backing means that it’s a proxy war between the US and Russia.

      $773 billion dollars last year spent on fighting “proxy” wars around the world (and if you count the spying, domestically).

      The only one that America has actual moral footing to get behind is the only one we are pulling punches on.

        Hardly the first time. I’d argue the US made the same mistake in Afghanistan in 2003, diverting resources to Iraq because Bush Jr. had such a hard-on for Saddam.

          With each passing day, Biden’s administration looks like the Bush administration’s bigger more right wing brother.

          Citizens United needs to be overturned. The Pentagon budget needs to be at least halved. We need the 2 party system to end.

          This will never happen if we keep voting for the lesser evil every 4 years.
