    Too late.

    Americans chose to abandon Ukraine when they elected Donald Trump and his Republican enablers.

    Russia will win, there will be one less democratic nation on the planet, Russia will expand their borders, and Europe/NATO will be threatened.

    Thanks conservatives, 3rd party voters, single issue voters, and non-voters. You really thought this one through.

      They failed long before the Trumpanzee was voted in. This is just last moment desperation after they not only failed to support Ukraine, but failed to stop the Russian propaganda and bribery machine in the US.

      But, Americans aren’t wrong that they also failed long before this. They failed to support the people in favor of corporate interests. They failed to deal stop the Republicans from stacking the courts.

      They failed because time and time again, they would rather try to appeal to Republican voters who will NEVER switch sides or change that minds in any significant number, while ignoring the issues that have decimated support with their own base and claiming to have the moral high ground.

      Thks isn’t just on the people that didn’t show up to vote, but also the people in government that let it get to this point by continually failing to act.

      What’s the issue you have with a non democratic country?

      I genuinely think most people (I used to just think most Americans) don’t understand the alternatives.

      Democracy has been proven not to work, and those involved in it will tell you that they agree, but there’s no better option. -

      Which if you think about it, isn’t really an answer.

      It’s like saying: Democracy doesn’t work, mathematically or otherwise. Try something that doesn’t breed corruption. They all do, democracy is just the best corruption.

      Which is bullshit. Mixing it up is the best way to stop the corruption.

      We need a lot of anarchy in the world right now, otherwise we’re just the fertilizer for power families. Our grandkids are fucked in general, except for the few that get a break.

        Ah yes, one more country being puppeted by Russia, a country infamous for it’s corruption, will decrease corruption. /s

        This comment is a great example of why electing a party that runs on deconstructing the public education system is an awful idea.

        We’re gonna start seeing ignorant comments like this way more often going forward.

        Buckle up.

          When you say “ignorant comments like this” after you referring to yours?

          Genuine question.

          Democracy doesn’t work. The smaller countries notice it moreso. But the size of the US running a two part t system is insane, and not a true democracy. I wasn’t attacking anything but the platform that they use.
