NATO is seeking to take control of decision-making powers on future aid packages — normally led by the US — in an effort to limit the impact of a potential second Donald Trump presidency on the ongoing conflict.

This is wild. It’s bad enough that the US president has the power to start wars wherever he wants with no congressional approval. But now they’re trying to make it so that the only people with the authority to withdraw from a conflict are unelected NATO officials accountable to no one.

Dronies will support this, because they love endless war across the globe and want to remove any potential for popular support to achieve peace.

The Vietnam War? You mean the one where a rebel faction backed by Russia rose up against a smaller, recently established pro-Western government, and the US came to the defense of that government, because if they lost the enemy would surely keep expanding more and more across the entire region, and all the peace advocates were dismissed as supporting appeasement? That Vietnam war?

Yes, we take a similar position on that as we do to this, do you?

Ukrainians are dying too, including ones drafted against their will. Maybe you should fight in their place before asking them to die on your behalf.

The war was already going on before Russia sent troops in.

It’s not supporting Russia to be critical of one-sided narratives or to call for peace for the sake of minimizing loss of life.

Either way, they tend to make themselves scarce when that link is dropped on them.

This is either a bit or a masochist lol, just straight up inviting the dogpile.

The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.

Thank God I live in America where I’ll never have to worry about the government doing that.
