No not tired of Trump or Biden but the whole government. The incompetence overall. Please don’t harp on one of the presidents all day. BOTH SUCK. In fact if you look real hard you’ll realize all of them sucked

    I can never understand why you tankies are so insistent on seeing Russia as a good guy (or at least neutral). It’s an autocratic far-right regime with a silly desire for invading their neighbours. If the west is so bad for doing so everywhere then why not Russia? They’re not the soviet union anymore, they’re anything but communist. They’re everything the left should hate: imperialist, anti-“woke”, an oligarchy. I get why y’all like China because at least they pretend to be communist, but Russia?

      You peasant. Lol I had to google what a tankie is. I’m apolitical and don’t give a fuck about what you poor people group to in politics.you probably never even been to Russia or know it’s history. You speak as if you have an actual understanding of the country lol. I traveled through over 70% of America as well and I know the issues with both. But I know USA is using Ukraine as a proxy to attempt to stir up conflict thousands of miles away. I don’t see Russia doing that with Mexico. Now silence yourself

        I have friends who’ve been to Russia, and I’m also European and not American so this is way closer to home than you’d like to imagine. I understand that there are plenty of Russians who don’t want this, my friends who went there met many great people. But their country is at this moment at war with a sovereign nation for no other reason than imperialism. Ukraine didn’t choose this war, but got invaded anyway. Many innocent people have to die because of the actions of Putin and his regime. When I say Russia I mean their government, and the actions of their country as a whole. They’re taking land that doesn’t belong ot them and causing a lot of unnecessary death and destruction in the process. Should the western nations just let Ukraine fall? Let their people be subjected to a total autocracy instead of the flawed but functional democracy that they were living under?
