Biden guaranteeing that he will not be reelected.
Every politician's focus right now is in Ukraine rather than their own countries.
When reelection time comes,they gonna feel the effect of the neglect
It's the economy, stupid. He will be reelected. And you know it.

The blackfishing maga crew has really been doubling up around here lately.

You really got posters on here waving their pom poms for American Imperialism....shyt is crazy.
Welcome to America lol. Americans always been like this, it's not new. People will justify anything to protect their livelihood. Americans believe they have to go to war every decade to stay #1. Domestically, it's like how White Americans understand they have to keep racism going to keep their quality of life.

same people who spend each day crying over trump are defending the very policy that stands to send him back to the white house.

:mjlol:


Breh Americans don't give a flying fukk about foreign policy unless our soldiers are being sent. If they vote in Trump it will be on economic/social issues, not Ukraine.

The Truth
Honestly… why are we the only ones funding this shyt first of all

At least it seems that way. Second, we probably won’t be sending shyt over there. Russia is fukked regardless at this point with the entire war. If they win then it’ll be a NATO thing in which again, why are we front and center.

Third, they are moving American troops into Taiwan as we speak…. That is all

Over 40 countries are funding it, including nearly all of Europe. Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Denmark, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, and Greece have all given a greater % of their GDP to the war effort than the USA has.




Of course, the USA has way more money than everyone else, so their contribution ends up larger. But compared to their economy the US contribution if fairly middle-of-the-road.

Our contributions shouldn’t be larger

trump’s return will be due to a combination of things converging in his favor.

america is a nation racked with anxiety over inflation, cost of living, shortage of affordable housing, bearish stocks, homelessness, rising crime, and other symptoms of a decaying society.

these are conditions that will convince the country to look for someone who will revive its national spirit, a figure who will stir within the people a spiritual renewal.

you underestimate just how defeated the average american feels right now.

I can't predict Trump will win but a lot of people are doing the same thing they did in 2016. They live in bubbles and ignore people who don't have their same views. Also - just like in 2016 - we have a lot of secret Trump supporters who just aren't voicing their opinion. Some of them look like us.

Trump will likely have a lot of support going into 2024 if America doesn't get it's shyt together this year. From the looks of it, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

Breh, the US contribution to ANYTHING will be larger than Estonia's contribution. The American economy is over 100x larger than the typical European country and 6x larger than the largest economy in Europe. The entire EU GDP is less than 2/3 as large as the American GDP. So there is no scenario in which random small European nations are contributing the same as the USA.

By as a % of GDP, many European nations are contributing more than the USA is. The EU as a whole has given a larger portion of their available resources to the war than the USA, not to mention made larger sacrifices in terms of energy costs and such.

That should answer your original question. If you want to keep claiming the USA is the only one giving then you're just being disingenuous.
