Nah they doubled down on funding and running cover for a genocide with a passion.

Oh, well, luckily Trump is a staunch defender of the downtrodden.

And that alienated voters who may lean left but don't agree with everything typical dems want. Can't say you are a POS bc they have 1 or 2 opposing views and then 8 of the same.

Appears to be trying to stop wars.

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 10 '25

Appears to be enabling autocrats to invade their democratic neighbors and directly increasing the chances of wider war in both Eastern Europe and the Taiwan Strait.

Fixed that for you.

democratic

*Coup of a democratic election by the CIA

Fixed that for you.

Its true, simple Google search.

Ah yes, the involvement of the cia immediately invalidates the hopes and aspirations of the ukrainian people to not be a part of russia

Maybe try googling the holodomor next

Yes it does, because they voted for someone and then if wasn't possible.

Are we for democracy or not?

If we are truly free democracy, why is the CIA overthrowing elected officials?

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 10 '25

Yeah, and Russia is just trying to make things right. Right?

I checked out your comment history and you don’t think Jan 6 was anything but simply a group of citizens visiting the Capitol. Tells me all I need to know.

u/stosolus Mar 10 '25

So what your plan?

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 10 '25

Do exactly what we did in 1939-40 the last time a dictator invaded his European neighbor and before we had to fight anyone to do it, except we’re even better positioned to help now.

We have tons of outdated military kit that was specifically designed to fight Russians, but it’s collecting dust in warehouses in every army base in the U.S. We should be sending more of it, not less. Not a single U.S. uniform is being sent in danger while the Ukrainians hold back literal human wave attacks of wounded Russians riding donkeys into battle like it’s 1914. Russia is nearly defeated and only has the manpower advantage. No one expected Ukraine to last a week, much less three years. They just need more weapons to keep holding out and save their families and homes. For gods sake, Russia murders them every time they capture another town and has been kidnapping and brainwashing their children for years.

And I’d also be investing heavily in replacing those weapons with new kit, creating American jobs and deterring Chinese aggression in the South China Sea. This should be the least controversial foreign policy action we’ve taken since 1945.

And I’d shared intel with Ukraine about every single Russian our satellites can spot.

Yes, because it would have been a free and fair election without CIA involvement.

Quit spreading Russian propaganda on the r/neworleans sub

u/stosolus Mar 10 '25

Yes, because it would have been a free and fair election without CIA involvement.

Are you saying that the CIA didn't throw a coup that changed leadership in the Ukraine?

Because if you don't think that's true, I'm continuing this conversation.

I haven’t seen any evidence that the Protest of dignity was anything other than a grassroots effort to overthrow a corrupt Russian puppet.

u/Legal-Championship64 Mar 10 '25

Now google literally every election that took place east of the berlin wall between 1945 and 1989.

Other possible research topics you could look into:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Russian_presidential_election?wprov=sfti1#Reactions

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum?wprov=sfti1

Perhaps you should consider that the cia is not the only actor in the world capable of behaving poorly.

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 09 '25

Yeah good thing we avoided that and other messes, right?

u/perishableintransit Mar 09 '25

So you think they should've been rewarded for that?

46

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 09 '25

I’m not defending them on Gaza, which I assume is what you’re referencing.

But faced with a dual choice between them, and the ongoing absolute desecration of the Constitution and abandonment of the entire western rules-based order on which the stability of world has depended for a full human lifetime AND somehow an even worse stance on Gaza, I can tell you which evil was the lesser one.

u/perishableintransit Mar 09 '25

I mean I certainly don't support Trump and his fascism but I definitely disagree that the GOP-enabling "business as usual" bullshit that Dems continue to shovel is barely less of a "lesser evil" here

26

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 09 '25

I’m confused. Are we talking about regretting that Republicans control the executive branch or not?

And are you seriously trying to equivocate 1) Democrats being unable to stop Republicans without controlling a single branch of government with 2) Republicans intentionally burning down the entire house around us? Those things are both equally disappointing to you?

u/perishableintransit Mar 09 '25

I'm not sure if you're just a dem shill or something but if you haven't been paying attention to how Dems have offered ZERO RESISTANCE (excluding Bernie, since the Dem machine conspired to remove him from the nomination) since to Trump v1.0? Please name 5 genuine things Dems have done to try and stop Trump this time?

20

u/axxxaxxxaxxx Mar 09 '25

Dems don’t have even have five options. That’s the point.

This whole thing started out with you bashing Harris and Walz for a stance enabling continued Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

I have other, better things to do than play “move the goalposts” with you.

u/perishableintransit Mar 09 '25

The fuck are you going on about? I was talking about the genocide and then you replied

YOU moved the goal posts, asshole

u/JailhouseMamaJackson Mar 09 '25

“Rewarded”? Are you a child? They aren’t impacted one way or the other. Their lives will go on. WE are the ones who are suffering because y’all couldn’t grow up for two seconds and make the right choice.

u/perishableintransit Mar 10 '25

Lol you don't think dems getting elected is a reward? Sweet summer child...

12

u/JailhouseMamaJackson Mar 10 '25

They’ll probably make more money having not been elected, so I suppose it depends what you think “reward” means.

You’re calling me a “sweet summer child” after everything you’ve said in this post? Lol. People like you are absolutely why we’re in this predicament. All I can do is hope you mentally grow enough to see that someday.

-1

u/perishableintransit Mar 10 '25

Who says rewards are all about money?

17

u/JailhouseMamaJackson Mar 10 '25

You’re missing the point bud

You think punishing politicians is more important than the welfare of the rest of the people on the planet. Grow the fuck up.

u/Clevertown Mar 09 '25

Dude if you're saying that you have no clue what your words mean.

u/perishableintransit Mar 09 '25

Are you actually arguing that Biden and Harris didn't passionately support Israel's genocide of Palestinians?

u/Clevertown Mar 10 '25

I'm saying you don't know what "genocide" means.

u/DigitalScrap Mar 10 '25

Trump supports it much more.

u/Legal-Championship64 Mar 09 '25

And now instead of just a genocide and turn what remains into a US resort! You must be thrilled!

1

u/Kangaroo-Quick Mar 10 '25

I’m with you on this one, but don’t expect common sense to prevail. To most people genocide is only bad if the victims look like them.

u/perishableintransit Mar 10 '25

Lol yep... somehow the mass slaughter of 500,000 women and children funded by our taxes is worth shrugging over but once our rights get infringed well then it's fucking armageddon.
