The Biden administration is asking Congress to provide more than $13 billion in emergency defense aid to Ukraine and an additional $8 billion for humanitarian support through the end of the year.
cite yah sources and I’ll read into it. I view it as providing aid to a foreign population being invaded by a direct adversary of the people of the United States. The Ukrainian people need saving from Putin’s senseless and ultimately fruitless invasion of their homes. Russians should be embarrassed for how much pain they’ve inflicted, as well as how little they’ve accomplished in this pointless errand to fulfill Putin’s selfish dying wish.
“imperialism is when America does things, and the more American it is the more imperialismer it is”
Other countries can be imperialist too. Like Russia, when it invades its neighbours to annex their territory. Stop defending imperialism. A thing does not automatically become anti-imperialist if the USA doesn’t like it.
I’m not embarrassed I had to look it up, but I’m glad I did!
Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term that refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is “A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong”.
That’s what you think is going on? The US asked putin to invade? Oh yea it was literally the opposite, with Biden begging Putin not to invade for weeks before he decided to do it anyway, yet here you are blaming the US for the suffering russia is inflicting on millions of innocent people

Russia is waging war. The US wants to support a free democratic country that borders NATO over a fascist invading country that’s an adversary of NATO.
Why would US also support Turkey, Egypt, Israel or other dictatorship around the world?
Those are all democracies/republics, at least on paper.

Keep the propaganda coming, troll. Your comments are shallow and not representative of reality.

Why don’t you have a vote on it then?

Putin wouldn’t be the first guy I’d call “progressive,” if that’s what you’re getting at

It’s honorable to help a sovereign nation protect itself against a power-hungry dictator

Spoken like someone who has not been paying attention to what has gone on in the US since 2016.
There’s no proxy war. You’re dehumanizing Ukrainians by denying their agency
Dude we were denying their agency in 2014 when we were helping install their new pro-EU government
No, stating that a popular revolt against a corrupt leader is the result of our actions is denying their agency
I never claimed the revolt itself was a result of their actions, I claimed that we were actively involved in installing their new government, which we were.

It’s bologna, yah tankie
Think one of those tanks ran over his brain, because there’s clearly no functional gray matter in that skull of his.
That’s sounds suspiciously like the bologna of the bourgeoisie.
Incorrect on all counts!
It certainly can be.
