@ericsuarez834 Russia attacked the Donbas region, Ukrainians responded.

Hans Otto Kroeger Kaethler Huh? Did you accidentally change the names? Cause it wasn't the US that lost more in 2 months than Russia.
7
@xmaverickhunterkx Only way to end the war is for Russia to be crippled enough to leave.

 @guybeingaguy Man: Being a victim You: What fragile egos

@robleyusuf2566 Kabul has always had tourists. I speak of the macro level of the country where its GDP, education, and other metrics collapsed when the Taliban took over. The "non-Western bias" bit is hilarious when you're arguing against literal statistics of an entire country and you can only talk about a single city. As if Kabul wasn't already like that too.
4
@memoriesofdaysgoneby2348 Imagine blaming the victim of this war instead of the ones that, idk, literally invaded? Your humanity has long been gone; you have no right crying about others.
4
@armenvartanyan5393 Nobody cares about your moral relativity attempts, Ivan. Russia shouldn't have invaded, and if it wanted to get away with it then it should've been much stronger than it was.

@peteoconnor6388 Turned out it was VERY imminent. It's happening now.
3
@Dom-zr9zu Ukraine was never native to Russia, it was native to the Rus. Russians and Ukrainians were identities formed from the Kievan Rus. That's like saying that the British have the right to Denmark since they're Anglo-Saxons.
3
@shannonbrown5913 By every metric incorrect, but go on lol
3
@shannonbrown5913 By that metric the Taliban is even more pathetic since it is now fighting with former allies while stuck in yet another forever war. Your metric is bizarre anyway; it removes all context for the end result. Different circumstances makes for radically different outcomes.
3
@robleyusuf2566 Yeah, so well that Afghanistan's state has collapsed into the dirt the second the US left.
3
@robleyusuf2566 How is it bias when I am talking about the macro level and statistics? It's quite literally the most unbiased viewing possible. Meanwhile you're using specific examples based on personal experience which has no bearing on the entire country. Afghanistan's economy improving after it crashed into the dirt is not exactly a ringing endorsement.
3
@plasticblasters556 What, can you not get emotionally invested in a just war from another land? People do that all the time; not sure why that's gross. It ain't like this was some random Russian civilian -this woman was publicly all for the war and celebrated the destruction of Mariupol. Do you also chastise people for celebrating the deaths of Nazis despite not fighting 'em?
3
@tommyt1971 You do realize that the design flaws were openly admitted and led to structural changes, right? And that unlike Chernobyl there was no risk of worldwide catastrophe? And the fallout was extremely minor? It's disgusting to even compare the two.
3
@benardmacharia4733 We did, when we actually fought them. "Untrained" Taliban was always destroyed facing Western soldiers. Issue, as always, is that military victories doesn't automatically translate to victory. Taliban didn't care how many they lost.
3
@motrhead69 Russia using WMDs practically guarantees use of WMDs against Russia in retaliation. How pathetic would Russia be to feel that it needs to use such weapons in the 21st century?
3
@ericsuarez834 Americans make fun of 9/11 too, you know that, right?
3
@dqdq4083 You say that as if Russia won't be utterly crippled as a result of this conflict lol
3
@lucasm8528 The "non-MSM" is a confused bundle of differing viewpoints to begin with, but those that are pro-Russia tend to claim that this was a terrorist attack despite no other civilians getting hit while also ignoring all of the cities they have made to look like Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
2
@abdallakhaled2642 There is no "we" with aspiring fadcist imperialists like you.
2
@Tim-X1 Russia and China are too busy killing ajs bullying their neighbors to help, I think. Nor would they care.

@BimRen246 Slave labor only provided cheap cotton, and European powers weren't exactly jumping up and down to help the Confederates in the US Civil War. So your theory makes no sense, especially the part about "being propped up". Like WHAT? All the European powers expected the US to collapse, the British outright kept their forts and encouraged Native tribes to attack US towns prior to 1812. In what world do you live in dis European powers prop up the US? If you are referring to its independence, then all countries get some outside help in those, Haiti included. Haiti was a broken mess by the end of its revolution. The war ruined Haiti's economy, especially since it was a slave labor economy; it had no industry to build upon and collapsed like the US South did economically when slavery was removed, except it did not have a industrialized North to stip the economic fall. Not to mention the deatruction of sugar canes which was Haiti's prosperous crop by revolutionaries. The debt wasn't even thr big deal. The big deal was the unwillingness of Haiti's new allies being unwilling to trade with it after it massacred its white populace. Even the early US, which discreetly aided Haiti, balked and refused to trade after that. So again. Haiti made its choices. And many of them self-inflicted. Edit: Hell, until 1812, France and the UK outright kidnapped US sailors for their wars. The US was and would remain a backwater untip the late 19th century.
2
@plasticblasters556 The guy you're responding to literally blamed Zelensky for the invasion of Ukraine...caused by Putin who claimed he wouldn't invade. Who is more vile? People celebrating 1 death or people defending the deaths of tens of thousands via conquest?
2
@tylerrobinson1149 Russia is the second strongest nation in Ukraine, so its threats are just sad
2
@toddmintz4269 For the sake of the greater whole, its important for some basic baselines for all States to follow. If we followed full-on "States Rights" laws then the US wouldn't even exist as a united entity. Roe vs Wade doesn't make sense to maintain, but we should maintain abortion rights to a point -not even including the moral argument, there are basic logistics and practical reasons for it. Like outlawing prostitution or drug abuse, pregnant women will just use dangerous means if its not regulated properly or banned leading to more tragedy.
2
@toddmintz4269 It will be outright banned in certain States, meaning it won't be regulated at all, or it will be so regulated that its near impossible to get it forcing pregnant women to take illegal means. That's bad for the average American. Like I said, in certain cases, the will of the States has to be secondary. This is one of those matters. Raising taxes, lowering them, having State-wide healthcare? That's one thing. But civil rights is another matter. You can make the same argument that the State Capitals don't know anything about the common people across the State; it's reductionist at best, and again justifies logic effectively dragging the US back to the dark ages of States having too much power. I'm not advocating for less States Rights, just not to give them rights. For example, again, how far can you take this? Remember, it was the States Rights people that effectively allowed for Jim Crow laws to be created, allowing for the State-wide oppression of African Americans for several decades. You're being disingenuous about the "Government out of my Uterus". You're right in the fact that its an ironic statement, but no in how you figure; all civil liberties are effectively supposed to be guaranteed by the government -thus forcing government to pass laws to enforce the rights of Abortion is not hypocrisy or incorrect. The same goes for other civil rights like Freedom of Speech, Assembly, or Guns for example. In short, the phrase is meant to imply that the Government should guarantee the right for a woman to do what she wants with her Uterus, alas it's ironic because even then there are specific rules that must exist even if Abortion is legal. Can't exactly terminate a pregnancy in the last trimester, after all. This is important because State governments may just enforce a complete ban, which is effectively the issue.
2
@TheKingZAF2 Putin will join them soon enough. CIA might be prowling around. :D
2
@AlexandraK1 No one said anything about conquering Russia. Just bombing Moscow in retaliation, though I don't support that at all. Russia's complete lack of empathy for its actions are making such sentiments popular.
2
@EricK-tb2dn US has more troops in countries without oil than countries that do. Yoy can't be this dense.
2
@PamphileJonathan You are a racist loon. The UE was willing to destroy the planet to destroy the USSR which was white. The US aided South Korea and Japan despite them not being white. The US doesn't care for race in international politics, it cares for peotecting its interests and allies. Haiti is not important to the US outside of the instability it could bring due to its own internal issues. If the US wanted Haiti to be suppressed, it is doing a terrible job since it's generally neglectful. Nor does that even make any sense.
2
@thedreamer9011 A stupid persoj can't educate someone else. He unironically acted like the US loves all whites and hates non-whites when it fought 2 major wars against other whites and fought anothet white power with the prospect of nuclear death all over the world. All while ignoring how the US aided countries like South Korea and Japan. Gtfo lol
2
@mathandfitness Rand is a think tank, genius. You Kremlinbots act like any of the million of reports made by US think tanks equate to US policy. Shows how little you know of how the US actually functions.
2
@cuahtemoc7642 Nobody is demanding that Russia give up all Siberan lands it stole from the Natives. We're talking about modern attempts at conquest. Nice try, hypocrite.
2
@Rigbabes If you're a pacifist in the face of imperialism, then you're a tool for the imperialists.
1
@IndiependentGame I mean, if it can't accomplish its basic task without killing people unintentionally, then it's pretty much a shitty product, yes. The fact it can withstand re-entry, if it can at all, is not the only indication of quality.
1
@SimplyShawniee Ah yes. The US has an invested interest in keeping Haiti down. That must be it. Jamaica? DR? They are nothing compared to the US needing to screw Haiti lol
1
@SimplyShawniee "especially in melanated ones" Imagine being that fragile LOL. US has far more interest in East Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Interest in "melanated" countries is just you wishing you were more important. The US has geopolitical focuses in the regions I mentioned due to longstanding ties there, and black countries along with South-Asian and Central Asian countries are not among those ties. They are simply not that important to the US at all. If anything, the US would have more interest in DR than Haiti. DR actually has connections with the mainland Americas overall since its a part of the Spanish-speaking Latin American focus. Even then, the US is generally neglectful of the region for the most part. So no, the US couldn't care less about Haiti. It just wants it to not be unstable and causing issues in the region since such things spread. Just look at Venezuela or Nicaragua for proof of that. 😗
1
@SimplyShawniee If you say so. Idk, thinking that the sole superpower would bother to pay special attention to melanated countries smells like it when it has far more obvious interests in other regions.
1
That's the ideal. However, with this logic, everything is now fair game, including forcing voters to revoke their anonymity in the voting process. FFS, this is such a disgusting slippery slope into tyranny and people are all for it apparently.
1
@fredo69ification Why do we need to prove that the "sudden" discovery of mass graves while Russia has 100,000 troops at the ready is a complete fucking lie???
1
@sinefromabovebabylon3577 US didn't steal anything from Haiti in the 90's. That being said, even if they wanted to, there was nothing to steal. There's nothing more pathetic than a Haitian blaming the US for everything. Every country goes through crap, Haiti doesn't get a free pass.
1
@ik1408 It would be fair, but the US was too strong. That being said, Russia is more likely to killed a million civilians then the US lol Mariupol looks more like Nagasaki than Baghdad ever did post-2003.
1
@ik1408 Ah yes, so honest that unlike every other international media that doesn't boot lick for the Kremlin; he's allowed to follow them unabated. Do you think everyone is as willfully ignorant as the Kremlin wants them to be? Bellingcat is an actual journalist, and Lancaster is a Russian stooge that has never once criticized Russia in his life. Azov didn't have the means to bomb a city to obliteration anyway, only Russia did, and MULTIPLE Ukrainian cities ended up that way. Even with simple common sense your story is see-through.
1
@Dom-zr9zu An even more braindead argument when something like 80% of Russia is not native to Russians to begin with.
1
@momtur4875 Bruh, so if all Jury information was leaked to the public in a very contentious case, then that's fair and legal as well? You realize the entire point of the court system is anonymity so people can't threaten others to come to conclusions they want, right??? Have Americans gone so authoritarian as to effectively push for destroying the literal framework of democratic institutions now?
1
@devan735 Its 2022, and all nations still debate about what the limitation of what can be done with their own body. No nation has full abortion rights for a reason; the question is where the line is. While I support most abortion rights, this action is still a threat to democratic practices.
1
@DrDubbs The Founding Fathers demanded the right to be heard in the making of policies pertaining to them. The Supreme Court is literally the method of which to interpret the US Constitution based on our own legal framework. If this is the route you wanna go, then how would you feel if all major jurors of major cases were forced to give up their addresses? That's "transparency", right? Also conveniently makes it easy for far-righoids to threaten them to make the "right" choice. You're literally advocating for mob rule at that point. And its disgusting how far some people will go.
1
@Novicvic4386 The Supreme Court is meant to be as unbiased as possible, not to represent the people; that's the job of Congressmen, genius.
1
@Novicvic4386 And what are they "meant" to do, exactly? Align with your specific policies? Because that's not their job; their job is to interpret Constitutional law according to their own biases. And the Supreme Court was never "meant" to make new policies in the country either; yet they have to Roe vs Wade's benefit. I'm not disputing that right, but you can't NOW complain about what the Supreme Court should or should not do. They have moved beyond their original parameters, after all. Edit: Basically, if you're gonna complain about things, then at least do so in a LOGICAL fashion. And without, you know, advocating for the destruction of democratic principles. Not you specifically, but its amazing how many Americans on this comment section are suddenly all for destroying anonymity as long as its to their political benefit.
1
@ronaldburkholder7895 It really isn't. The Constitution only functions as a limitation of government power, the Feds should have been on this in the turn of the century by having an actual law defending a base line of abortion, but instead allowed an interpretation of the Supreme Court stand unaided. You want a country in which democracy is thrown away for the sake of the big man in charge? Move to Russia, they've love you there with Putler. Me, while I am very wary of the lack of backing abortion has, there is plenty of means to ACTUALLY have abortion in the books.
1
@ronaldburkholder7895 What are you even talking about? Vaccines? Ayatollah? Take your meds, dude. I had my vaccines and supported everyone taking them. Get help.
1
@ronaldburkholder7895 Dude, what the hell are you talking about??? Where did I say that people shouldn't get vaccine shots? Where did I say that abortions were bad? Take your meds, your schizo is acting up, seriously.
1
@devan735 This is and was a threat to democracy as much as literally ending abortion is and was a threat against women. You don't save democratic practice by destroying the system to save the end result; that's how you get dictators that "totally promise" to save people and then suspend ALL rights. This isn't hard, are you an American or are you a Russian in disguise?
1
 @pinkskincanthandlethesunlight Women in general face far less time for the same thing that men do.
1
Bruh, what exactly is crooked about this? It's their opinions, not corruption.
1
Haiti invited them, you tool. And Haitian President was Pro-US.
1
@jattjamesbond1122 Pathetic how Russia's answer to everything is nukes. How sad of a country is that? 😂
1
@jattjamesbond1122 Russia is using nukes to try and win a war and will invoke MAD. US used it to end a war when the concept didn't exist yet. Are you gonna cry about imperialism no longer being allowed too? As I said; pathetic. 😂
1
@ericsuarez834 Russian language was never banned in Ukraine, propagandist. You literally can't find any such law on the internet. Meanwhile entire towns have been massacred and Russians are denying the Ukrainian RIGHT TO EXIST. "People" like you cry about Hunter Biden when there is a fascist war of conquest going on. Disgusting.
1
@ericsuarez834 Mariupol is a city. And how is 800 fascists which was melded into regular soldiers mean that its okay to massacre an entire city? Wagner is much larger and their leader is filled with swastika tattoos. I guess the US has the right to bomb Russia into the dirt now? Hell, I'm coming along with the idea. I was referring to Bucha, the recently re-taken city. The reports are horrendous. Inb4 you tell me its all lies after Ukrainians literally just retook it.
1
@ericsuarez834 Yes. 800. That's the number we have, and this is the apparent justification for bombing a city so much that it looks like it got nuked. Ah yes, the descendant of Holocaust victim has connections to Azov members. Stepan Bandera is a troublesome figure to be sure, but hardly that out there when talking about the likes of historical fetishization of key figures ala Stalin, Lenin, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Napoleon III, etc, etc. For someone so concerned about such things, you seem awfully eager to ignore how Russia literally craps over all of this and makes Ukraine look like a left-wing progressive paradise. With your own logic, Russia deserves to be bombed to hell. It's impressive how much you shill for fascist imperialists.
1
@katlitoostatic9519 He is saying that, literally that's what he's implying. Besides, not every Russian war crime was brought up either like in Georgia or Syria, that isn't hypocrisy either.
1
@katlitoostatic9519 "I'm not justifying what Russia is doing, I'm just echoing their propaganda to the point that I am deflecting for Russia for their benefit" Imagine thinking that the people that are invading and justifying the destruction of the Ukrainians is the same as the people trying to stop them. Are the French the same as the Nazis in WW2 to you as well? That's how utterly repugnant your moral stance is.
1
@katlitoostatic9519 And where was all this energy when Russia was bombing other innocent countries? Maybe you should actually not be a hypocrite and note that both sides did bad things without consequence???
1
@amokwep America bombed a wedding on accident. Russia slaughtered innocents in Bucha and made mass graves on PURPOSE. One is understandable, the other deserves the noose and executions. We will talk about Russian war crimes, because they are intentional and deserve the treatment of the Nuremberg Trials. Edit: People didn't talk about Russian bombing schools and hospitals in Syria, assuming it was not on purpose. Same deal.
1
@katlitoostatic9519 >Russia bombs other countries >US/NATO at fault NATO exists, but countries wouldn't be joining it if Russia wasn't such an imperialist psycho. Mexico and Canada aren't running for protection from the US, because they're smart enough not to piss everyone off for no reason. So yes, its all Russia's fault.
1
@ik1408 Tell me when the US actually bombs a city like Russia did Mariupol or Aleppo, then we might believe you that the US killed a million civilians lol
1
@stevenkakouz6833 Saddam wasn't "taken out" outside of a military victory and occupation. In terms of Putin, people are talking about a hit squad.
1
@SetTrippin82 No, it's not, you lunatic. Mass graves are unique in that they are literally filled with bodies to hide crimes of mass death and destruction. Very few times in history are there "mass graves". Maybe large cemeteries filled with bodies, but NOT mass graves. Think the Mongol sack of Baghdad, or the Holocaust.
1
@BimRen246 Everyone gets invaded and screwed over by everyone else. No one has a "chance" to be prosperous to begin with. The US by every right should have failed, but it didn't. No country can afford to do anything less than defend their interests, especially back then.
1
@vuklovi2287 The important ones were broken before the US left while the rest is cheap crap that would cost the US to transfer back. Taliban is as much of a joke as it was before the US left; now everyone can see it. They just look prettier. Idk why you even brought that up?
1
@vuklovi2287 They're freedom mascots? The US sells them to dictators too; they've never been freedom mascots. They're just toys. And just because you have the damned thing doesn't mean you can remake it; nobody can remake US equipment without US materials, tech, infrastructure, and schematics -its why nobody has actually managed to recreate US equipment unless the US builds their own factories there. I still don't get why you brought this up?
1
@Its just common sense, bruh Clinton Foundation maximum just stole money meant for charity. That isn't cause for murder, weirdo.
1
@shellybelly01 Everyone gets preyed on by everyone else. The fact Haiti couldn't handle it is proof of failure, no more or less. No country or people are special.
1
@shellybelly01 Every nation is a victim, that doesn't stop most from building back up. There is no law or justice for countries like for individuals. Grow up. Haiti is always gonna be doomed if you always focus on what "should" have happened instead of thinking of how you can make a better future.
1
@shellybelly01 I don't they have tried, no. Because Haiti is still in the same rut as it always has been, and its people complain but don't do anything to change it. A country is a reflection of its people, ultimately. If Haiti and DR's people switched places, not moving any businesses or economies, then DR would just become like Haiti and Haiti would become like DR; because it's the people that matter ultimately. Idk why Haiti paid reparations. I assume it's so that France doesn't come by and bomb Haiti, but I never actually read why Haiti decided to pay. But guess what? All independent colonial nations had to suffer from their colonizer's hand even after winning independence. Spain cost the mainland South American nations gravely with deep depopulation and excursions, the US faced constant attacks by Native British allies while encouraged with British weapons from Canada and literally stealing sailors from US ships, etc, etc. Oh, I care about it. I just acknowledge it as an unfortunate reality that can't be changed because, all nations act like that. Including Haiti. DR's cry about Haiti's invasion of them too, and I tell them off since such things happen to everyone; it's how you move on that matters. And DR managed to. Haiti has never managed to.
1
@plasticblasters556 Gore of those that advocated for conquest and destruction? Sounds good.
1
@iwams1 Hey man, I don't think any powerful nation can act that way after losing its flagship to a country without a navy.
1
@dmitryletov8138 And by "hostages", you mean "civilians hiding from Russians trying to put them in mass graves", right? What video are you even talking about?
1
@aurelianxcbd One or the other, but considering Russia's penchant for mass graves in this war, the former is the more obvious choice. I wouldn't trust Russian troops at all.
1
@aurelianxcbd Says who? You? 99% of Azov were stuck in Mariupol. What, is the entire Azov Battalion living rent free for you to the point that the entire Army is just Azov? A lot of journos saw the mass graves too, all evidence points to them being made while the Russians occupied it. You can't spin this.
1
@aurelianxcbd >Wants empirical research done by independent journalists with a spreadsheet of scientists to validate a war crime done by people whose state media argues that Ukraine and its identity should not exist >Automatically believes that Azov which has like 5 people in the Kyiv Region did the massacre Your dishonesty is hilarious. Next you'll demand empirical research that the Holocaust was done by the Germans since the Soviets have ever reason to lie for more Allied support.
1
US is in NATO, and we should not abandon democracies to autocracy. That's the most un-American thing I can think of.
1
#1: The US does. Constantly. #2: That's really difficult and doesn't change that breaking connections stems the flow at least a bit.
1
@dennis3351 Now why eould anyone in their right minds take Putin's word for anything? His word is worth jackall. He already said he doesn't consider Ukraine's existence to be real, and you want them to not join a defensive alliance on the off chance that he wouldn't attack again???
1
@dennis3351 I think they'd rather die than accept peace in such a state. Are you the type of person to kiss up to dictators when they have their jackboot ready? Not everyone is as spineless.
1
@op3129 Idk how Roe vs Wade could possibly stand. I don't recall how, but I remember studying it and noting that it didn't make sense to stand Constitutionally. Instead there just should be a framework of Abortion laws on the Federal level rather than a Supreme Court case. It's too unstable. What the people want in this case is immaterial, that's not their decision as the Supreme Court interprets Constitutional law, it isn't meant to be voted on just like the Federal Reserve isn't meant to consult the people either. That being said, this leak is a literally one of the worst attacks on democratic practices since Jan 6th. It attacks the concept of anonymity in the court system and democratic governance. It justifies further attacks like releasing who voted for what on elections and pushes for mob violence to push for differing electoral results. The person who leaked this has to be found and arrested as a traitor, so yes its kinda important.
1
@sheilawade433 Prolly "Progressives" is what the other person means
1
@toddmintz4269 Also, you shouldn't be prancing with that Trump 2020 sticker. He's effectively a traitor after he has verbalized the need to sow doubt into the electoral process for the explicit purpose of maintaining the Presidency and afterwards having pushed States to throw away elections for his sake. Not even mentioning him petitioning Putin for dirt on the Democrats. Any US politician doing that should be shunned. If you are for such men, then you can't claim to be for democracy, human rights, the American way, or even for States Rights tbh. Inb4 you talk about whataboutism from the Democrats, which I would agree with to an extent, though Trump is worst than any Democrat currently.
1
@milliegirl7514 So then you'll have no issue with Democrat leaders getting leaked in retaliation, right? This is how democracies fall. Thank you, for being an example of it. Disgusting.
1
@toddmintz4269 Whether you admit it or not, internationally abortion is labelled under "civil rights", sweetheart. Because it has to do with the rights of the individual. The right to remain silent for example from Miranda Rights is not in the Constitution, does that mean that now the police should be able to force you to speak to indict yourself? This is a dangerous mentality for our American liberty -that only rights in the Constitution counts. Yes, and maybe in the future some States will bring back Jim Crow. Again, just because its a majority in the State doesn't make it a positive thing. So a poor woman has to drive to another State to get an abortion? Placing more restrictions on abortion without talking about the issue of poor women being unable to find an abortion clinic nearby and thus needing to either travel 100's of miles while off work, or turn to local black market means. Another criminal element while still having abortion but likely leading to more deaths/injuries. This is a braindead idea, ultimately; it saves no one and brings more money to the black market instead. I'm not mad, tho. I'm being pretty logical. You're the one here that is being very emotionally invested in doing something so fruitless and ultimately hurtful. There is nothing positive about what you want; no silver lining. It doesn't help babies, it doesn't help women, it doesn't help America. It only hurts it while making it a laughingstock. Limit abortion to an extent, but removing it entirely is braindead. It's like forcing everyone to take large tests to have the right to vote in each election, technically not harming civil liberties, but it disproportionally hurts the poor who may not have the time to spend on something like that to vote.
1
@toddmintz4269 So you're not gonna bother refuting the fact that Abortion is internationally considered a civil right then? I understand overturning Roe vs Wade, but banning abortion is just a needless restriction of civil liberties for no discernable benefit. So why are you for it? Assuming you're not just a reprehensible person, that is.
1
@sheilawade433 Trojan Horse implies it was snuck in. It really wasn't; this was a lawful move and function of the Presidency.
1
@orawancarlile6192 Only backward nations have castration as a punishment at all. Along with stonings and beheadings. And while I generally agree that abortion should be maintained (not through Roe vs Wade, that was a braindead idea); the idea that abortion is all a woman's decision is itself a flawed one. After all, whether a man likes it or not, he is forcibly responsible for a born child even if he doesn't want it. So the woman's decision should be maintained, but men need an opt out, obviously.
1
@sheilawade433 Bruh. You've lost the plot. Touch some grass. And look up the definition of Fascism, because that's not it. What insurrection of Congress, there was a riot in the Capitol but hardly any concerted attempt to seize power -unless you consider every riot to be an insurrection now. And "seizing control" of the Supreme Court by partisan political groups is entirely natural; you were just content it was partisan to YOUR side. Get a grip. The authors of the Constitution warned against ANY partisanism at all. You can't complain about that when you're obviously majorly partisan. I don't support the Rightoids in this, but you Lefties need to get a grip as well as have some perspective.
1
@toddmintz4269 Bruh, so you're just gonna ignore the entire Western World's standards, huh? You want to join Afghanistan in its barbarism or something? Idk why you keep talking about the Hyde Amendment, I'm talking about Abortion being a right to get, not being a right to have -as in it isn't the government's job to give abortions when women want one, but it is their job to give them a reasonable opportunity to have one if they want. You may as well claim that Freedom of Speech isn't a civil right by asking "what about screaming Fire in a crowded building???" Do you even know what the Hyde Amendment is? You DO spend tax dollars on it, but only in emergencies when women experience sexual assault and such. Maybe you should go back to school first, you seem awfully ignorant and proud of it.
1
@toddmintz4269 Indeed it doesn't, sweetheart. Nor did I imply otherwise. I ask again; why do you want to hurt the American people since banning abortion in several states does nothing but hurt them for no benefit? Why do you want the US to be an international laughingstock?
1
@toddmintz4269 Slavery requires government power to maintain and enforce, at least the industrial kind. Abortion does not, it can happen in a clinic, in a hospital, or in a rundown factory in the slums. This is literally just people banning drugs like Cocaine again which led to stupid arrests and a thriving criminal element using drugs as an easy payday at the cost of local communities. Except the black market for this will likely lead to more deaths and poverty in this case. Abortion is considered a civil right because it has to do with the right of the individual, genius. Civil Rights are "the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality". In what world is the RIGHT to, for example, have an eye surgery not a civil right? Of course there is no pressing need for many people to NEED eye surgery, but there is for abortion since people have sex a lot and sometimes poor women are braindead. You keep lying about the tax dollars thing when unlike most civil rights, Abortion actually has tax dollars spent on it; only in certain situation tho. Maybe you should actually read?

@sheilawade433 Because your extremist language is pretty much the exact reason why the US is stuck in gridlock while external forces fan the flames to keep it busy. YOU are literally the problem along with the Trumpists.

@s0515033 Wtf are you on about? Americans never had a right to privacy. Roe vs Wade doesn't protect people from having interracial marriage or buying contraceptives. You know what Americans do have? Right to anonymity in voting/legal processes. FFS, you're all such disgusting hypocrites begging for dictators now. What's wrong with you???
1
@s0515033 Patriot Act wasn't a good thing, but it proves his point that there is no "right to privacy". It doesn't exist, since its so vague.
1
@s0515033 This is interesting actually, I know there was like 1 Republican against contraceptives, but idk about the entire party. Let alone being against sex education; I know they're against it for children, though I'm all for it for teenagers. I also recall that sometimes sex education has been used as a means for progressives to push their ideologies forth, like Non-Binary ideology and such. So its a little complicated and filled with dishonesty on both sides. Though Republicans are worse these days due to Trumpism, on that I agree.

@douglasrasmussen480 You people have lost your minds. Seriously? By this logic was the US fascist for its entire history prior to Roe vs Wade? More than that, this is entirely a Eurocentric point of view. Touch some grass. Breathe some air. Protest afterwards, but don't be a tool and call this Fascism.
1
@douglasrasmussen480 "range of plays and tactics" Based on my butt, no doubt. There is no power that is abler to supersede American democracy outside of control of the government in its branches. You sound like a Trumpist, congrats.

I mean, you are. A broken clock beint right once a blue moon is still a broken clock.

@Neo-Reloaded We don't have troops in 150 countries. We have advisors in many countries, but no more than 100 troops in around 25 countries, I believe. So many people are ignorant.

@JohnBlessed5 Haiti can just as easily be exploited for gain. US has done it to Haiti decades ago, so don't lie.

@sethabrahms5068 Problem is that the good Professor is a psychopath that looks at countries and peoples as objects to move around rather than actual living beings. Also he is but one professor among many who has a habit to remove agency from non-Westerners and take the blame for anything and everything Sorry, but that will not fly here. Russia suffers, and it's Russia's fault. No one else's.
1
@TheReaper74 How else are you supposed to stop a dictator? You can't hurt him without hurting the country that either tacitly or explicitly upholds his regime. It's impossible.
1
@Лапша-ш5ж True. People shouldn't be celebratinf seeing Russian people hurt. Everyone is riled up, but it does do some goos to remember Russian people in all of this.
1
You mean besides the Russian troops that invaded these territories and created referendums for them? The root cause seems pretty obvious.
1
Many countries arouns the world gets help from the US. You shouls prolly look it up, the US hasn't stolen from another country since Iran in the '50's.
1
Why? The US isn't in the region anymore, and nobody wants to be.
1
@Grandcathedral Bruh, Russia's living standards are literally 3rd world, and their crime is sky high. What world do you live in? The one where Americans and Europeans escape their countries for Russia? Let me give you a hint; it's Russians that escape Russia to the US, not vice versa.
1
@BALD_PAB Republicans vastly support screwing Russia at this point, don't be braindead.
1
That's like celebrating the USSR for fighting Nazi Germany; there is no good for humanity being done here. Just one crap fighting another crap.
1
@jonathanfarley2023 "Military advisors". US troops weren't involved in any fighting, and only came after the Russian imperialist invasion. Kinda a massive difference.
1
Then you won't find a decent source anywhere since sometime, somewhere, that source either made a mistake or lied.

@playablue It's unstable because Haiti has shot itself in the foot repeatedly more than anything else. There are few black countries as utterly screwed as Haiti. And all countried are "victims" of othet countries; that's why they protect themselves. Haiti never could, and the only time it wasn't a victim it invaded another country. So cry me a river.
1
@playablue Haiti invaded DR, you ignorant. And white supremacy has as much to do with Haiti's state as it does the Dominican Republic's. Which is to say; some. But the biggest issue is people like you that hide behind the cry of racism in order to avoid admitting that you failed your country when it faces critical issues that no one has any responsibility to fix but Haitians. Black nations are rising in Africa, despite external and interal pressure; like all nations face. Haiti is not special, outside of their victim-complex

@glaucoramos Has there been wildfires from the US that affected Canada?
1
@KJ-qp2ng Minorities in the US don't give a hoot about Haiti, wdym?
1
@KJ-qp2ng No, that's standard. Struggling nations often have admiration for other countries that disdain them in turn, due to the effects struggling countries have in immigration legal or otherwise.

@atra7812 What world do you live in that Ukraine is being so utterly depopulated like that LMAO. I see this all over Kremlin media and its the most braindead logic I've ever heard; if anything it proves just why the US should be working on assassinating Russian politicians since its so blatantly a terrorist state now focusing on genocide.
1
@C Right Russia, by your own logic, is a legit target for the US now. And pretty much every neighbor, now that I think about it.

@cuahtemoc7642 1) All Native lands in de jure US territory is subject to US Constitutional law. They're not sovereign. 2) Please name the modern treaty the US has broken with the Natives then.

@alexsalemo9137 Kremlinbots are pathetic in how they bring up the past to justify their modern imperialism. It's why nobody respects their gas station of a country.
1
@surryism 1) NATO didn't invade Iraq, a US Coalition did. 2) NATO isn't suffering any negative karma at all; its power has just vastly expanded if anything. 3) That has nothing to do with this topic, Kremlinbot.
1
@kazimierzmalewicz3604 Notice how you contributed nothing to the conversation because you know you're full of garbo.
1
@user1qaz2wsx3edc Why does every Kremlinbot always bring up the US or Israel as if that somehow makes Russia's actions justified?
1
@dqdq4083 Might want to check Russian revenue in gas and oil; it has been massively depressed for a while now. And its not getting better. Meanwhile, while Ukraine is dependent on Western aid; it can be rebuilt. Russia will be stuck as a rump state for the foreseeable future. At best, as a puppet of China.
1
@hisgreatestadventure Russia's youth is either fleeing or being conscripted while Russian oil and gas revenue is sinking. Both trends aren't going to stop even if the war ends. Also, I doubt you predicted Russia getting counter-invaded like this. Not looking great for Russia's future at all.

@mortiarty7842 What does that have to do with what I said? The drop in Ruble was because of panic, but everything calmed down. Ever since last year however, the Ruble has steadily dropped in value and has not returned. More to the point, the revenues from Russian gas and oil companies has dropped like a lead balloon in recent months. They have literally admitted this already. Russia being resource rich is the only reason it hasn't been a joke for its history, but being resource rich isn't everything. Just ask most of the African states. You need strong trade and good leverage to maintain profits using such resources.

 @guybeingaguy Is that why so many women fall victim to this too? 🤔

@kimbercole2438 Name once a Judge lied under oath. Like seriously, you people live in an alternate dimension.
1
@kimbercole2438 Bruh, what? They weren't under oath when they said that usual BS, right? If any action is taken in the Supreme Court, whether for or against, then its from their POV and ideologies. No oath was broken. You're literally just butthurt they're going against your ideology. Which is fine, but don't act like they're traitors or committed perjury. That's a serious offense. By your logic, the Supreme Court that admitted Roe vs Wade was also filled with despicable men since they weren't unbiased either. Grow up. This is not the way to approach this.
1
@FB-yp5dk A stupid question considering that that's now how this works. The bigger question is; "who is right in this situation"? And that answer obviously goes to the US since they are only saying that Russia has no say in what Ukraine as a democracy does.
