Every tweet you scroll past counts as a read tweet. That probably cuts down the number you can actually read by quite a lot.

God damn, apparently they came out with six nee wifis while I wasn’t paying attention.

I mean yeah, that’s probably what I’d do if I was 92 years old too. Unless something more comes out, I don’t think there’s any reason to believe this is anything sketchy.

The difference between this and Afghanistan being that we don’t have boots on the ground, we’re just supporting a geopolitical ally avoid GENOCIDE via a geopolitical enemy.

I’m in favor of my tax dollars going to keeping Americans alive for once, instead of being spent on yet another war we shouldn’t be involved in in the first place.

Okay, from that perspective allowing Russia to grind itself into nothing prevents future proxy wars where Americans will die. Russia is an enemy of the United States. They fund anti-american terrorist groups, the interfere with our election, they attempt assassinations on US soil. Allow Russia to operate unchallenged does not result in a safer world for the American people.

Also, maybe I’m the asshole here, but I feel like America SHOULD get involved to stop literal, capital G genocide. I think the fact that you’re happy to watch Russia exterminate Ukrainian towns just because it saves us a couple bucks pretty despicable. I mean, honestly, not to make that same worn out comparison, but if the Japanese hadn’t attacked us, would you have happily sat out of World War II because it “wasn’t our fight”?

We’re not talking about Saudi Arabia and Yemen, we’re talking about Ukraine.

I’m all for Ukraine fighting this war… on their own.

So you’re in favor of them being conquered and ethnically clensed. That’s what happens without material support from western powers.

I just don’t appreciate seeing our people impoverished and neglected because of it.

The American people were impoverished and neglected before the war in Ukraine, and they will be after. Letting Russia wipe out a vulnerable ethic group won’t get you free healthcare.

Regardless, we could fund a universal healthcare system half a dozen different ways, and the American people would still save money not having to pay subsidies. The idea that it’s a hard thing to fund in the richest country in the world is one of the biggest lies i government. The reason we don’t have one isnt because we can’t come up with the funds, it’s that your politicians hate you and love pharma money.

Warmongers being… the country currently undergoing a genocide from a global superpower? If you come to my home and shoot my kid, I’m not a warmonger for returning fire.

And the idea that the reason our programs at home are underfunded is a result of foreign aid is complete bullshit. They could fund those programs in a heartbeat at any time with or without a war. We could absolutely do both, the reason we don’t is because none of your politicians give a shit about you, unrelated to what’s going on in the world.

Damn. Stabbing things hurts them? I’m just learning this now for the first time…

Honestly the whole concept comes off as pretty ghoulish to me. Tourism trips to a mass open grave. Like going to Auschwitz for the hell of it and skipping the museum.
