Conservatism has been infiltrated and suborned by Russian intelligence.

Oh no, it's fine; they are just asking questions.

You can remind her of our obligations to Ukraine according to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994

It’s so strange how easily Trump convinced Americans to abandon almost all of their values.

America could also do all that stuff if we stopped putting for-profit middlemen in between government services and the public, too.

But thats socialism

I'm legitimately so confused why so many Republicans seem to hate Ukraine (other than the politicians being in the pocket of Putin).

The cost of U.S involvement in Ukraine is only 60 billion so far, only 2/3 of the MONTHLY budget of the U.S military and I swear to god I hear more people bitching it about than Afghanistan, which cost 2.1 trillion dollars and is literaly 35 times greater than what we spent in Ukraine.

Even if you were extremely selfish and didn't care for saving a country and it's citizens from genocide it's in our best interest to defeat Russia. For the last 2 decades the Russian federation has been intentionally sabotaging Europe and the west in general. From hybrid warfare, online propaganda, poisonings and assassinations, destroying deep sea infrastructure, of course cutting energy to Europe and even more.

I'm so tired of this dumb shit idea spreading like wildfire amongst conservative circles and how selfish people are for believing it.

Rant over.

GOP has literally betrayed the entire nation for Russian money. Then they LARP and pretend they care about the cost of Ukraine. Like the Republicans would ever put that money into something like universal healthcare anyway.

And yet 10 years ago is when Romney warned us. I remember having a conversation with my mother in which I sounded off incredulously about it, "I don't buy this red scare 2.0 thing" to which my mother said, "there's probably something to it if someone says you shouldn't trust their friends."

The next moment there was a tremendous commotion. The banners and posters with which the square was decorated were all wrong! Quite half of them had the wrong faces on them. It was sabotage! The agents of Goldstein had been at work! There was a riotous interlude while posters were ripped from the walls, banners torn to shreds and trampled underfoot. The Spies performed prodigies of activity in clambering over the rooftops and cutting the streamers that fluttered from the chimneys. But within two or three minutes it was all over.

everyone in DC knows how it works.

They are just feigning outrage for the base.

Just like how they screamed about evil vaccines, while having every single vaccine available during covid.

A lot of the billions of dollars in aid is our old equipment from the 90s that was taking up room in storage and costing us money to maintain. Not having to maintain old vehicles is a net savings minus the cost of transporting them.

I'd go further and say they don't know how countries work. A government shutdown is really insane to me, but shutting down the military would be just straight up destroying the country.

Sure, but usually you hang traitors
