    Everything the Trump cult does is to cut off our balls. From citizens turning on each other to wasting our military power on a Middle Eastern country because our Middle Eastern twin can’t share the goddamn sandbox.

    Trump is a Russian spy through and through. He is doing everything to make sure there is no America to stand up against the Russian Behemoth.

    Thank God for the willpower and cunning determination of the Ukrainian people and all those who went their of their own accord on the behalf of Ukraine. We are truly living in the days of a few heroes and many villains.

      When I was growing up, there was a super hero named underdog. Now, I haven’t seen any reboots, or anything like that. So for anyone who’s never seen underdog, imagine one of those kids cartoons where animals are people. Dogs walking just on their back legs. That sort of thing.

      Well underdog is a regular timid guy, who just seems like an accountant.

      And then some danger happens, and he runs into a phone booth, superman style, and comes out as underdog.

      Basically, imagine millhouse from the simpsons as a superhero.

      This is an interesting assessment of geopolitics. I would say that China is the only country that comes close to being a behemoth relative to the US though.

      It’s true that America is slowly transforming into an Israeli and Russian foreign asset rather than a true democracy.

      You know, there are ways of undermining US socio-economic hegemony without killing millions of people.

      I’ll never get the BlueMAGA head who looks at American GOP-lead fascism and insists that the real victims of it are Americans.

      This, while we’ve got multiple genocides occurring on our watch.

      Absolutely sickening.

      If Trump is the cause of America’s destruction, perhaps its deserved. He’s not an agent of Putin, he’s an agent of Karma

      What the fuck are you talking about? Russia’s military budget is a tiny tiny fraction of the USA. What fucking behemoth? I though Russia was completely incapable of invading even it’s neighbor and losing thousands of soldiers and day and having to recruit foreigners. What Russian behemoth?!

        Russia runs giant misinformation campaigns in order to destabilize western countries. And the election of Trump shows that they’re getting worth their money. And if noone stands to oppose Russia, Putin can do as he pleases. And right now, the most we get from western countries is a halfhearted attempt at supplying Ukraine. Russia is failing to take Ukraine, but they are still inflicting high losses on Ukrainian civilians. If Putin can flip western nations, he can grind away at Ukraine and then the baltics, without much opposition.

          But I was told Russia was sending soldiers into battle without weapons or armor or even boots and they had to go scavenge them from the dead. Is that just not true?

          Are you saying that Iran is stronger than all of Europe combined and can defeat a military literally 9x larger than Russia’s military but Europe couldn’t do anything against a Russia that has spent the last several years under crushing sanctions and losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and all its tanks, etc?

          Like which is it? Is Russiana total shitshow on the battlefield and the US is a gargantuan that can’t even beat Iran? Or is Russia a behemoth that is inches away from dominating the rest of the world if it just gets a couple countries to not send money to Ukraine?

          Is it that Russian disinfo is so strong that it can literally take over continents while the US has 3 aircraft carrier groups that can’t even stand up against Yemen?

          Like what world do you live in where you can hold this totally contradictory positions. Pick one: Russia is a behemoth that punches 9x it’s weight and can roll over all of Europe or Russia has no way of beating Ukraine except to through wave after wave of bodies into a meat grinder without arms and armor because they’ve been devastated by the brilliance of Ukraine? It really can’t be both.

            The truth, which you would know if you ever got out of your information bubble, I recommend DylanBurnsTV in YouTube by the way, is that Putin doesn’t care how many thousands of peasants or foreigners tricked into the war he has to kill to grind forwards. It’s the literal definition of zerg tactics.

            On the other hand you have the US, where dear old Donny has developed a taste for regime change after Venezuela went so smoothly for him, while the US population, even MAGAts, has no desire to be dragged into a war. A proper ground invasion will not be accepted, high loss of life will not be accepted. Iran only needs to be able to fire drones at ships or bases occasionally to keep the heat on, while Trump has declared Regime change and total surrender of Iran his goal. Donny is simply delusional about what he can achieve in Iran without facing wide-spread protest.

            That said, it is true that Israel and the US have complete air control and have heavily degraded Iran’s capability at conventional warfare. Something the Russians have not and will not achieve.

            And that is just the domain of war-making. When it comes to disinformation campaigns, the Russians are the clear winner. Have you not read the recently released news that Orban was life-texting Lavrow updates on EU discussions on how to support Ukraine? There is a mole in the EU and Nato thanks to, in no small part, the Russian disinformation campaigns.
