Americans really are delusional when it comes to the geopolitical realities of the world. Ukraine is done as a nation because it was turned into the latest and hottest battleground in a proxy war between Atlanticists and Russia but what akcshually happened is that Ukraine took advantage of the US.
Zelenksy took advantage of U.S citizens, need I remind everyone while Hurricane Helene victims were given a pittance of money and barely any support that Ukraine was getting 50B sent it's way.
 
The level of disrespect from the little guy was unreal. Showing up to a meeting with the POTUS in street clothes (and was called out on it by a journalist), arguing with both Trump and Vance in front of the media, claiming once again that Ukraine was "alone" in this war... it's almost as if he expected to step on America soil and be handed another giant money bag of billions.

It's not even him not wearing a suit that's the problem. Like I get it, those things are uncomfortable as all hell and frankly, quite unnecessary. It's just that the outfits he wears give off heavy "tryhard fag trying to seem tough" vibes. Showing up in a hoodie and jeans would've been better.
 
How Germany is feeling right now.

I don’t think the third time is the charm.
Other way around surely, the geopolitical situation in Europe feels like looking into an alternate timeline where the Whites won the Russian Civil War but Supreme Ruler Kolchak & friends now have to fight against a red Europe led by Spartacist/Frankfurt School Germany.
 
How popular is Zelensky in Ukraine? Are they all as stubborn and arrogant as he is or do they just have to put up with him?
Why the fuck does he think the world should risk their money and citizens for his war, especially when he's so cavalier about sending his own citizens to fucking die while he stays cozy snorting cocaine and watching from safety?
The more I watch and hear about his behavior the more I despise the little midget.
Many believe that Ukraine should be afforded basically-NATO defense levels for handing over their nukes (that they couldn't use anyway) as part of the Budapest Memorandum. In their mind, the US, UK, and France agreed that they would defend Ukraine from Russia if Russia broke the treaty which isn't true. When Russia initially encroached on Crimea, Ukraine did receive a lot of help in the way of military aid with the US military literally training and basically rebuilding the Ukrainian military as well as implementing harder sanctions on Russia, etc.

Still, I have to assume that Ukrainians are taught that the US agreed to swoop in and invade Russia if Ukraine was ever attacked or otherwise messed with, which was never a thing. The whole thing is complicated and talking about it brings out rabid people on either side.
 
Bill Clinton criticized Guilty Gear in a speech about video game violence.
thats weird, usually they only go after the big games, like mass effect or mortal kombat or GTA, who the fuck was about guilty gear in the US back then? i've never even seen those games irl back in the 90s.
You know, a lot of these single moms aren’t really single moms at all. The kids’ dad lives with them, but they just don’t get married so they can pretend they’re “roommates” and the mom gets the gibs.
the tax code since the beginning also makes this the optimum set up, the thresholds bump up 25% for head of household. You'd think any of those retarded "family first" conservatives would have closed that loophole if they really cared about marriage but i guess not.
The betrayal of the MAGA base is not going to go away by ignoring it.
GET IN THE FUCKING BURGER SUIT, RICK ROLLING IS BASED JEFF EPSTEIN WAS OUR GREATEST ALLY~! CRYSTAL NOW
 
The question now is how many times can MAGA politicians fuck up or betray the base before they start to become disillusioned. Fanaticism goes both ways and all politicians are lying megalomaniacs, don't become like those "right side of history" dems.
It would depend upon Trump’s view of them. All those generals were beloved by MAGA until Trump fired them. After all, he only picks the best people.
 
Sopranos-level interactions here.

"AGAIN WIT' DA JAVELINS?"

"YEAH AGAIN WIT' DA JAVELINS! SO EITHER NAME A PRICE OR GET DA FUCK OVER IT VOLODYMYR"

Of course. What did you expect? Trump is basically a Sopranos character who escaped into real life, he's from the same area as Phil Leotardo or Johnny Sac.

yeah that seems very oddly ahead of the curve, maybe there was hype about the insta-kills?
I was in the weeb loop enough to be mad about KoF99 and NOT MUH KYO and I recall nobody giving fucks about GG until like, that atomiswave/dc one?
