Honestly, I feel the need to apologise too because I'm utterly sick to death of arguing with people willingly or unknowingly spreading Russia propaganda and disgusting victim blaming, the only purpose of which serves to weaken support for Ukraine and throw them to the wolves and I know foreign policy keeps dominating this thread despite there being dozens of other critical issues that affect America but I often can't help myself and feel I have to respond because it's fucked up. Also I'm a Brit so a lot of the domestic issues don't affect me but I still feel sympathy for those that they do, but as a Brit as well, I don't consider Republicans as an ally of the UK and especially Trump, UK is Europe and Trump will willingly abandon us which could lead us (Europe) down a dangerous path as a collective, I would be proud for UK to defend the Baltics but Trump will watch us die as he himself said, he would let Russia "do whatever the hell it wanted" to our allies, the sick fuck. The way I see it, if Trump wins then Ukraine loses, which is a horrific event all on its own but will also embolden Russia further to take more, Moldova will be next and Moldova will not be able to withstand Russia like Ukraine did, they will be done in couple months with their tiny army and then where else does that lead Russia? Do they take their chances on the Baltics knowing America won't protect them? Do they send in their "little green men" to cause trouble? How long until Europe is on a direct collision course with Russia without America backing us? I would love if he responded to only you but I feel like he'll continue to avoid you, the reason he latched onto foreign policy is because it's closest to his statement that they're "both the same" except even on foreign policy they are largely different, over half of Republicans voted against Ukraine aid and all Democrats voted in favour (in House) and when it comes to Israel support, more Republicans support that than Democrats. Everything else you mentioned, Democrats and Republicans are completely opposite on. Baffling to me how so called leftists who apparently care for human rights, treating people fairly, hate imperialism, etc, can rush to Russia's defence all because their logic goes as far as "America bad" and then large members of the right wing have gone from "better dead than red" to "omg I love Russia" in the span of a couple dozen years because Russia is seen as a "anti-woke, anti-LGBT, white-persons paradise" and for the record I consider myself on the left, a Labour/Democrat supporter who would have loved to see Bernie as President and once supported Corbyn strongly. But yes, there are a lot of other issues we should be talking about and I'm sorry this thread keeps focusing on foreign policy. |
No need to apologize, foreign policy is absolutely a very important issue worth discussing and it makes sense as a non-American why that would be far more of a concern to you.
I just find it odd how that’s the only topic he wants to discuss when talking about how both sides are the same.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
