Why is our military so huge? Why have we spent Trillions over decades?
In part to counter Russia for sure.
Now we have an opportunity to proxy war the shit out of them without risking American lives while preventing possibly worse escalation down the road should they win in Ukraine all while using old munitions and equipment that would be decommissioned anyway while increasing production at home and . . .
GOP: Nah
Imagine if Saint Reagan was told that in 2024, his party would be all about supporting a Russia run by a former KGB officer.
He might be initially shocked, but the Russia of today is damn near pure Reaganomics with no separation of church and state. Once he realized that, I'm sure he'd sell out too.
Kompromat says what?
GOP: What?
Just setting the stage for if/when mangohead becomes POTUS.
Mango is my favorite fruit. Please don’t ruin it by associating it with this treasonous fuck-shovel.
PS if you really like shovels I apologize for my statement.
Lol.
I'll go back to my old term then ... orange kumquat.
Because Republicans are working with Russia. There's nothing second guessing it.
These scumbags NEED to work for Russia otherwise it’s prison or death.
So you all better get to getting your voices heard or we have them to rule over us and nobody wants that.
Text resist to 50409 and tell Congress to pass Ukraine aid now!
I understand that republicans are afraid of russia, but can’t they just hide behind the democrats and let them pass things?
