Bombenomics.
They’re admitting in this article that this just to get rid of old inventory to— you guessed it, go to war with China!
“Line go up! More war means more treats!”
Something something highest stage
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.[1][5
Damn, if only he thought about this before spending billions on the military industrial complex and ramping up the cold war.
he had no choice, someone wanted something better for the world. he had to take a principled stand against good things.
A brilliant, beautiful quote, from our dear comrade… checks notes FUCKING DWIGHT EISENHOWER???
do americans just not understand that bombs kill people and the people they hurt are real
also for a government the sums listed are just petty cash

This, Ladies, Enbies, and Gentlemen, is what imperialism does to your brain.
Do the undetonated cluster munitions buried underground do a quick check to see if it’s a Ukrainian or Russian child they’re about to blow up?
Nope, they don’t. It’s war though - if you’re really against that, you should advocate for all the Russian soldiers to fuck off back home and put the war to an immediate end. :)
Go get your legs blown off about it u weird freak.
Funnily enough, that’s what the Russians are getting themselves into in Ukraine! Unfortunately, they’re taking Ukrainians with them as well. (Just to preempt your answer about both sides or something)
You got any more of these funny pictures? Seems like the only thing you have the cognitive ability to understand.
why don’t you advocate for the maidan pusch to dissolve itself as that’s about 10 times more likely to happen than Russia just giving up randomly when it’s winning
Maidan?
In your head people don’t have their free will, right? Everyone is just a puppet of the US government. Are you sure you aren’t one?
Maidan was a fascist coup paid for by NED and CIA funds, supported by Nazi snipers armed with NATO weaponry. Victoria Nuland, undersecretary of state at the time, hand selected the next president (Poroshenko). Both her and McCaine and tons of other spooks and feds were present in Ukraine before, during and immediately after the Maidan. The Nazis burned leftists and union members alive in union halls, crucified pregnant women and sniped any loyalist military forces.
Then the Azov and other fascist thugs who just murdered and committed SA on a massive scale were then integrated into the military and state and given blank checks to terrorize minority populations for 8 years. The went on “sniping safaris” to kill ethnic Russians and the people of Donbas. 14,000 people they killed in their fascist rampages, dropping banned munitions on civilian population centers repeatedly. Good riddance to them and thank god they have been de-nazified. The only shame is that Putin took 8 years to get around to crushing these fucks
Your little nazi losers are about to lose, go cry about it
Well, it seems like you’ve already lost it!
I’m not sure if your unaware but Russia has annexed almost 5 Ukrainian States and is still advancing at all parts of the line, had the Minsk II ACCORDS been followed hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive and Ukraine would likely be better off.
If you are happy Russians are dying, you should understand that the continuation of this war is killing Ukrainians at about 2 times the rate.
The only thing you are actually rooting for is the increased wealth of the Military Industrial Complex within the Western imperial core, or Russia for the increased likelihood of gaining Odessa by wars end. Your bloodlust does nothing for anyone.
I’m not happy that anyone is dying. In fact, I’ve got quite a large problem with that.
That’s why I’m all for Russia getting out of Ukraine and ending this war. If Russians are on Ukrainian land with weapons trying to kill Ukrainians… Well, there’s no other option.
I find it funny how you’re talking about “Western imperialism” while regurgitating the lies of a country that’s literally invading another. I find the brain gymnastics of the people here morbidly fascinating.
A brave point for you to make. Now do US in Syria, France in West Africa, Saudi and UAE in Yemen, Israel in Gaza. 4 conflicts where western led wars could actually be minimized by western civilians pushing for ceasefires or pullouts of foreign troops. People like you don’t care about these conflicts that America or its allies are continuing, you only care about conflicts where the “answer” to solving it is killing more people. It’s not about peace for you, it’s about defeating Putin or whatever good vs evil narrative you have.
If you actually cared about stopping violence you would be protesting the wars your own government does, as you have some amount of influence over that. You shouldn’t be regurgitating propaganda about the “enemy” nations. That is warmongering. That only leads to war, even if you think you’re doing it for peace, all you are effectively doing is boosting your own nations war. Nothing you can do about Russia or China’s decisions as a citizen of the west, so remove the beam from thine own eye.

If you think this war has anything to do with protecting gay people you are an unbelievably dense fucking moron
Imagine thinking Ukrainr, the country that banned opposition parties and Russian-language media of all kinds (not just from Russia itself) while having never stood for queer rights nor the rights of ethnic minorities is less dictatorial.
I hope you grow out of using minorities as a prop, running dog

So dishonest to what the options are and what the laws in Ukraine have been before the war. At wars end, the far right elements of the Ukrainian rump state will be fully armed to do as they please to LGBTQ community you now claim this war is protecting.
Slippery Slope and a strawman! What do you call that, a greased scarecrow? Skiing bird-scarer?
First of all, it’s not a guarantee that an independent post-war Ukraine would swing authoritarian (it’s also not unlikely given the global trend towards authoritarianism, however Ukraine has built strong relations with the West which would strongly encourage they continue westernizing to continue reaping the economic and social benefits of good relations with the West)
Secondly, I just gave members of the LGBTQ community as an example of a people for whom annexation is not an option. No need to get so triggered over it
LGBTQ community you now claim this war is protecting.
I “now claim?” What do you even mean? One country is making progress on LGBTQ rights and doesn’t legally persecute members of the community, the other just labeled the entire LGBTQ rights movement as an extremist organization!
In a war spawned by an attempted annexation, this is a war of continued countryhood or not. This isn’t some petty land dispute over some shitty little island or some acres of farmland, this isn’t a grinding war of people in power who can’t talk to eachother like grownups where the folks on the ground ultimately have little dog in the fight other than surviving, it’s literally a war of “do I continue living in a growing, modernizing democracy with western ties or a backsliding authoritarian dictatorship that’s constantly trying to relive the Soviet glory days”
far more human rights abusing nation
Open Nazi worship, the massacre of labor union organizers, elections cancelled, all opposition parties banned, Russian language banned, conscription squads snatching men and women off the streets, ten years of fascist slaughter along ethnic lines in the Donbas…yeah you libs really picked the right horse to back on this one. Don’t you have another SS veteran to go praise?
For some Ukrainians, such as those in the LGBTQ community it’s literally a choice of risk dying as your country defends it’s existence, or risk dying in a Russian prison
Fuck off you pinkwashing asshole.
Why not go fight yourself? It’s the height of cowardice to send someone else weapons and shove them into a fight you yourself won’t take up arms for, while claiming to do it for their freedom.
Ukraine is still accepting volunteers. Why aren’t you there?
It’s wild to me you’re openly defending the US government admitting this war is all about getting rid of old stock so they can do a nuclear war on China. Liberals are fucking ghouls.
Right. Russia invading Ukraine is all about the US.
Putin is obviously a long-term CIA plant furthering the US’ agenda of destroying Russia and making money off the blood of innocents.
Yes it’s about NATO expansion and pro-NATO American back coups. Russia has stated it was their red line for 20 years, the west did it anyway and now they are finding out that sometimes Russia sticks up for itself and its red lines. America arrogantly wants the entire world in its sphere of influence, it greedily devours the whole earth. They will never stop encroaching, expanding, colonizing unless they are forced to at gunpoint or nukepoint. They are being forced out of Ukraine right now, and they will soon be forced out of occupied Palestine inshallah. France is being kicked from Africa. Turkey is distancing itself from the rest of NATO over it’s pro-genocide of Muslims position.
Putin is obviously a long-term CIA plant
Close, it was Bill Clinton
Putin is obviously a long-term CIA plant furthering the US’ agenda of destroying Russia and making money off the blood of innocents.
Lmfao you’re pathetic, trying to frame our disagreement of this war like this. Go back to Reddit.
agreed, death to israeli occupiers/invaders and American invaders in Syria and Iraq. Death to the NATO occupiers of The Ukrainian SSR
You’re right to a point, but none of these other conflicts you’ve listed are nearly as black and white as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
the opposite is true. Israel is a fascist settler-colonial project that must be dissolved. It’s quite black-and-white in fact, extremely simple. Americans illegally invaded Syria and Iraq and steal their oil, they need to get the fuck out. It’s very simple, they do not belong there and nobody wants them there and they need to leave or die.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is extremely complex and a lot of less experienced leftists totally fell for the chauvinist western propaganda and bought into the pro-Ukraine garbage, or even still both sides the situation. The NATO puppet state will be broken, the will be de-nazified and de-militarized and the West will have goaded on a doomed war that killed 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers and still lost.
I can’t wait til people start bombing Amerika. If the Iron Dome folded because of a couple Palestinian rockets, I have no reason to believe Amerika’s missile defense is all that.
drops one bomb on texas
every house in the state built after 1965 falls over like a house of cards
america’s missile defence is the atlantic ocean
It is my firm belief that Americans will not stop bloodthirsty warmongers unless they are forced to experience war on their own soil.
God I wish. I want to smugly smirk at the liberal settler fuckheels that get drafted to fight it on some energy
Amerikkka doesn’t have a national anti missile system. There’s never been anyone shooting missiles at amerikkkka, so why bother? On the other hand, zionists are actively facing resistance. They need iron dome to not get blown to hell by rockets. Also, the world is getting nuked at the point when people start bombing continental us. The amerikkkan empire would rather end the world than have a world exist without them.
Look! We’re actually profiting off of prolonging the bombing of Ukrainian civilians
Do you know how many jobs that dead Palestinian child created in Pennsylvania? Still think that genocide is bad tankie?
The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas coded post
What kind of monster do you have to be to look at that map and be like:
“Oh wow, all this prolonged destruction and suffering makes it so I can buy two or three new video games…I guess I love the war and the ghouls, wait not anymore…Noble Patriots that are causing this!”
Oh right...
<-that kind
They’re really hitting the “Yeah, we’re war profiteers and wantonly murder children without restraint, but here’s why that’s good actually.” level of liberal smugness, aren’t they?
My dad has openly told me that he supports Ukraine because his job at the docks gets more money when the US government ships military equipment
Something something destruction of capital.

Literal warmongers
“As Department of Defense leaders have said previously, support for Ukraine has mobilized the U.S. defense industrial base, in ways that haven’t been seen in decades,” DOD spokesperson Jeff Jurgensen said in a statement when asked for comment. “Our industry partners all across the nation have stepped up to meet the kind of production, manufacturing and infrastructure investment capabilities to directly support U.S. commitments to Ukraine — and that will build the kind of industrial base capacity we need for the future.”
bolded ominous statement is ominous
This just in: Biden Adminstration does not recognize Long Island as part of the State of New York.
Washington only saw $28 million in “supplemental impact”? Did Boeing miss out on the military contracts?
Just business as usual for Washington. They probably make a ton more money off black-budget crap anyway.
