US Ends Funding for Global Health Programs

I really do not give a shit. How many trillions have been spent trying to help these people?
And they aren't even capable of putting up netting against mosquitos.
The population has EXPLODED thanks to our do gooding.
Americans first.
I had a midwit "friend" of mine try and convince me that all this international assistance shit was a good thing and all he could spew out was "Soft power!!!" and "bragging rights!"

Goddamn, how the fuck does funding shit for "bragging rights" help the US constituency AT ALL? If that's even a thing to mention in your reasoning you are a massive tool. I am so sick of this bleeding heart 'soft power'/'prestige' nonsense. How does anybody in the right mind lmao, rofl, lol give a single fuck about how other countries (on the other side of the planet) see their own country? Especially when they're already glorified little bitch vassals that can't even protect themselves without daddy US.

I hate globalism so much.
 
This story is one of the most enraging things I've ever heard. Ever. Period.

Have none of these people read any history? Do they not know the basic adage about armies and stomachs? Providing abundant, good food to your soldiers is one of the biggest indicators you will win your battle. Half-starving them and forcing them to eat garbage is a morale killer to end all morale killers.

I genuinely don't get it. What the fuck does the military need to spend that money on that's more important than feeding its personnel?

Can you imagine for a moment the shitfit the left would have if this kind of situation happened to prisoners? But hey it's just soldiers so the bleedinghearts are nowhere to be found.
In WWII, we had entire naval vessels dedicated to supplying the troops with ice cream to keep morale high. Going back to the 1990s, our military had the ability to deploy an entire mobile Burger King to the front lines, allegedly within 24 hours.

Now, we can't feed soldiers on their home soil. The only explanation is corruption.
 
Similar experience. I was checked out for the last 4 years and most of the election, and only started caring after that point.
Not just the event itself, but seeing people's reactions to it ("How could he miss?", "Should have used aimbot", "Lets hope that fucker didn't just win the election for Trump"). I saw that in my city's local gaming group that I had been a part of for 10 years, along with a 10x chain of "repost this cat to kill a white person" in their meme channel and realized "Oh, it's not just banter. They really do want to kill us". I just left without saying anything.
Did any of them speak up and say "this is wrong?"
That is disturbing.
It triggered a memory of mine.
1974. Parking lot of a grocery store.
Two black males and a female follow my mother and myself, calling us names, and threatening us.
I was so scared my knees were knocking together.
It stunk. They already kill us at a higher rate than we do them.
Black females commit more violent crime than white males.
 
It was an agreement where Ukraine gave up its nukes in exchange for security assurances from the US and UK. Not a NATO style defense pact, but the whole point was that if Ukraine got invaded, they'd get help. Now, when push comes to shove, and now trump is acting like it doesn't mean anything.
The problem with this, is that we don't have the power to stop Russian advancement at this point, without an escalation. We can keep giving them money but that won't solve the manpower problems. We need to up our production of munitions to match what Russia is able to bring to the front but that could take months or years.

If Ukraine wants to death spiral I don't want to get ragged into it.


Our Government is a fucking joke, I hate them so much. They can find ways to waste money on everything, including making our fucking money.

Man, I don't understand it fully but I find JD Vance more attractive than any politician in my lifetime. Even these memes where they put him in a propeller hat and make his face ugly and childish cannot abate my thirst for the way the man actually looks and his "I have already determined how to destroy your argument" expressions.

I never got the "he's so sexy" hype about Obama or Bill Clinton. But JD, hubba hubba. Usha's a lucky gal.

Daily Mail says she was supposed to give a speech honoring Californian first responders/firefighters that helped battle the wildfires?

I imagine said firefighters refused to go on stage with her (firefighters are generally MAGA) & are currently furious at the California Democrat leaders for being so incompetent at land management they allowed conditions to get bad enough to cause such fires.
