It was a compromise so the smaller states were willing to join the United States. Same reason there are two senators for each state.

And I am sorry you dont understand needless wars. Just dont include me or my family in your stupid wars dude.

I am sorry I didnt pretend anecdotes were foreign policy.

You talked to putin and NATO?

Oh yeah totally means nothing when they will literally go to war over the thing that means nothing. The issue is that nothing I can say will get across to you because you have believed the propaganda.

Then why dont you like it?

Oh I dont know, I would just assume they could update (or retrain) to adapt pretty quickly.

AI probably was already patched 5 minutes after the article came out.

In early 2021, the Russian military began massing on Ukraine’s borders. At the June 2021 Brussels summit, NATO leaders reiterated the statement made at the 2008 Bucharest summit that Ukraine would eventually join NATO.[10] In late 2021, there was another massive Russian military buildup around Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Ministry demanded that Ukraine be forbidden from ever joining NATO.[11] NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg replied that the decision is up to Ukraine and NATO members, adding “Russia has no right to establish a sphere of influence to try to control their neighbors”.

From the 2008 Bucharest summit

Georgia and Ukraine had hoped to join the NATO Membership Action Plan,[3] but, while welcoming the two countries’ aspirations for membership and agreeing that “these countries will become members of NATO”, the NATO members decided to review their request in December 2008.

This meeting was held in April and Russia invaded Georgia in August. So yes, Ukraine was wanting to join nato for years.

Why would NATO want to even consider having Ukraine join if it was the brightest of red lines, and very likely would end in war?

The Rs did exactly what the Ds would have done, and its actually a feature of being president that they cant be bogged down by lawsuits unless its impeachment.

Do you realize that everything you said is talking points and can easily be rebuffed or pointed also in the direction of democrats for doing worse things in the same area?

Sure, but the opinion has to be based in reality. If you hadnt noticed right now, the attack on trump has shifted to him being a fascist and a direct danger to democracy. Nothing has really changed, its the same basic trump.

NATO didnt force them to invade but it highly encouraged it. Russia said that Ukraine was the bightest of red lines and we saw what happpened to georgia when they were trying to join nato. There is no good reason to have Ukraine in NATO it brings much much more trouble than its worth, but NATO did it anyways knowing that it was considered an existential danger by russia.

Really makes no difference

Uh yeah it does because the two things he listed are under presidential control, and it shows he was making a joke. You might not like the joke, but there is not stated intent to be an actual dicatator. And the all the rest is guess work or projection.

What were the two things he listed after he said he was going to be dictator on day one?

The issue is that they are misleading you with lying facts. For example if I said “A person is YY times more likely to die in a hospital than at the grocery store”, that would be true but its misleading to believe that if I go to the hospital I am more likely to die than at the grocery store.

Which platform would that be? I am not trying to be difficult, but I think probably all platforms are heavily biased.

You know very well that trump is not just a political candidate. He is a fascist piece of shit and has already stated that he will be a dictator.

Annnnnd this is where you go off the rail.

I simp for the truth and consistency. Elon is just another billionaire that is influencing things, the only reason you care about what he is doing is because your team tells you to care. You guys used to like elon, but since he left the circle jerk he is the enemy. You should like a troll billionaire but you cant get past the agenda.

What platform are journalists supposed to be using when almost all of them seem to be biased?

OMG A GUY IS DONATING MONEY TO A POLTICAL CANDIDATE!!!

And when the war goes global or nuclear and the US sends troops overseas for you dumb war, are you going or are you going to try to force my kids to die for you instead?

You are claiming that they can do what they want, but that is backed by boots on the ground. Is that going to be you, or are you going to force my children to fight your wars?
