I especially love fueling the fountain of blood overseas while my fellow citizens die and add more blood!

Suggesting the defender in a war should just stop fighting, or that helping them is bad because if they did not have the ability to defend themselves, they'd quickly be unable to fight and the war would end with their defeat, is not anti-war. It is appeasement, and that is ultimately pro-war, because it creates a situation in which starting wars of aggression can benefit the ones who start them, which inevitably leads to more wars being started. To be against war, in the long term, one must support a situation in which starting wars is against the self-interest of those in the position to do so, and one of the clearest ways to do that is to try to ensure that those who begin wars of conquest or other such aggression, lose them.
OMG YESSS ICE DRAGON COOL!!!
Anyways, you have the right idea about it being unjust that those who start wars of aggression reap benefits from starting them. That is why it is best for both Russia and Ukraine to resolve this using peaceful negotiations, as the reason why america is pouring military hardware into the latter is to bolster its own war of aggression against Russia motivated by cynical geopolitical interests.
This current conflict has a long and bloody history stretching way back from 2014 till now. It is called the "Russo-Ukranian war" and started with the Euromaidan incident when the EU used far right groups to antidemocratically depose a pro-Russian Ukranian president and plant someone who is more aligned with their agenda so that they could put pressure on Russia, as Russia was starting to get unfriendly towards the American trading bloc.
As such, the true nature of this conflict is an awful proxy war between Russia and NATO (america), where innocents suffer and the rich get richer.
Therefore, I think we would both agree that it is not good for america to send more weapons to Ukraine as this would be fulfilling america's own selfish geopolitical interests using the lives of innocent Ukranians.
Nice profile too btw
UA, and by that I mean its state, has been a naked pawn since 2014, responding to Western interests to stoke and prolong civil war by the Russian border, target ethnic Russians with discrimination and violence (and Roma, and LGBTQ+ people, etc), and generally toy with joining NATO, a highly aggressive anti-Russian military organization.
The dominant Western propaganda narrative is to try to get everyone to forget the breathless reporting their media outlets did on Ukraine from 2013-2022 and to instead use absurd little terms like, "unprovoked invasion", which I would guess is also where the idea of UA being simply defensive comes from. Yes, they were invaded by Russia, but they've also been ratcheting up pressure on Russia for a decade through various cynical moves, beginning with a coup against a government that was becoming slightly friendlier with Russia. The most notable events just prior to the RF invading was a huge ramping up of shelling of the Donbas, including civilian population centers.
Anyways, yes it is bad to keep pushing the "escalate and fight to the last Ukrainian button". It would be much better if Ukraine were forced to negotiate peace and were not acting as a pawn against Russia rather than a state protecting its own people.
I'd like Ukrainians to be alive and not in a war.
The 5 in your username is your age, isn't it?
Time for Hawaii to get a bunch of Abrams and Bradleys.
this but unironically, so that they can decolonise and drive the worldwide terrorist authoritarian yankoid empire from their lands
Maybe they could use them to declare independence from a country that cares more about bombing people overseas than protecting its own
I'm not sure about the US, but the UK is providing arms to Ukraine under bilateral aid agreements. The exact terms of these agreements aren't public, but traditionally bilateral aid agreements heavily favour the country giving, as the country receiving is desperate. Thus, the weapons are not being donated, they are being provided as a long term loan.
It's almost inevitable that Ukraine won't be able to pay back this loan. This means the UK will probably have to write off this debt, eventually. However in the meantime the books can be balanced (or at least it makes it look like the government hasn't raped the country as much as it has) and the write off will be a future government's problem. Also, whatever amount Ukraine will still pay should help ensure the country remains on the back foot, should it survive its invasion from Russia.
No real surprise from a government in bed with Russia over the years leading up and into the invasion.
Suffice it to say, the war machine money printer go brrrr.
Daily reminder to the reminder - the U.S. has to replace those supplies with new stuff which does cost money.
One thing we can do is push for our government to not replace it
Or to not replace it with as much hardware
We've got quite the excessive stockpile currently
C'mon we both know they're gonna spend beaucoup bucks on it, there's nothing the government likes more than military spending
Or… to use the money which would be used in replacing the equipment in the form of aid in Hawaii.
Which, with all due respect, is the entire point of saying what your image is "disproving". As it stands, the image only serves as propaganda to concerned citizens who think that the resources their government is spending could be better used.
And before you dismiss this as some kind of "tankie" talking point, the majority of Americans think their government shouldn't be spending as much on Ukraine. The massively inflated budget for "Defense" could very well be redirected to aid in the context of a domestic disaster.
Hexbear tankies invading this post just like their favourite leader invades countries. With large numbers and stupidity.
Oh yeah they are
I was really enjoying 196 as a tankie free zone
I think our rule needs to add hexbear to the list that includes Lemmygrad
Yea but what if we didn't make that shit in the first place?
Unfortunately time travel only exists in one direction so we can't have prevented the making of the equipment in the first place.
What we can do is try to prevent our government from replacing a lot of the equipment though.
Unfortunately as long as Russia is being an aggressor to it's neighbors I don't see it stopping anytime soon.
