I support your recognition of universal suffrage being a bad idea but I'm not clear on why you've decided to dress yourself in a white sheet and started burning crosses on neighbor's lawns.

Putin’s crushing new offensive could be the end of Ukraine
Missiles from North Korea, drones from Iran, and a massive amount of technical assistance from China. Russian President Vladimir Putin may complain about the backing Ukraine is receiving from its Nato allies, but it is doubtful that Russia would be able to maintain its military offensive without...
Macron stands by comments about sending troops to Ukraine
In an interview published today, Macron did not rule out sending troops to aid Kyiv , saying the issue would 'legitimately' arise if Kyiv made such a request.

I thought this article was worth reading. It’s about the disinformation war being waged on us by authoritarians around the world. It’s one of the big reasons why I believe we should support Ukraine against Russia. Delivering a big L to Putin will put China on notice and hopefully help clear up our own bad actors domestically. Right now many are just flooding the zone with **** (we see it here everyday on this website) that cause people to become disconnected from reality (vaccines are bad, Trump won, mail in ballots are bad, nationalism is good). Normal everyday Americans don’t benefit from when rich billionaires and authoritarian leaders wage disinformation wars against their society. It makes it really hard for government to serve its citizens (which is what many of the rich in America want. It’s hard to regulate them, raise taxes, and provide social services to the poor and needy when no one can agree what reality is).

That's a long paragraph to say nothing lol. The funny thing is you don't even address anything the article is about. Literally not a single thing . Not even an iota. Probably because it's behind a paywall and you didn't read it. @fishonjazz what's the article about?I thought this article was worth reading.

I ask because I would address it if Thriller actually used digital literacy and explained his point instead of just provide a link he obviously didn't read as he didn't address anything. He just posted a pay link lol. And no, I see nothing wrong with Nationalism but you're not capable of debate. Just childishly mock and post links. A true digital literate that is afraid of debate. And nobody ever said vaccines are bad lol melodramatic liar.

Hey Mr. Ukraine Nationalist by definition....I would love your opinion on US funding over 60% of this war. If this is sooooo important then why is Ukraine literally begging America for money and arms? Where is NATO? Instead of passive aggressive childish bullying I would love to understand why NATO can't help more. Western Ukraine is getting pounded and it's *** kicked right now and NATO isn't doing ****. Why not? Just admit you don't know or care. You just see catchy headlines that you obviously didn't even read and post it while not addressing anything but Trump obsession.I thought this article was worth reading.

The mass barrages also drain Ukrainian air defenses of ammunition as Kyiv’s depleted forces await delivery of the latest batch of promised Western military support. Ukrainian officials have been pleading for more NATO-standard air defense systems, such as Patriots.
Russian bombardments, though frequent, have become less regular in recent weeks, and Ukrainian officials suspect Moscow is stockpiling resources ahead of a major battlefield offensive that could come within weeks.

I haven't see a lot of coverage on it in the major media outlets, but Russia has launched a new attack to take Kharkiv. They haven't tried to do that since the first days of the invasion.

Think tank ISW has been warning Russia would do this in recent days due to Russia trying to take anything they can before American arms can get to the theater.

Uh, no. The imposed rules of engagement combined with the smaller population of Ukraine relative to Russia did this.
Kharkiv is right next to the Russian border. When Europe and the US supplied weapons, we told Ukraine they were not allowed to use them to hit targets in Russia. The weapons are good enough that every time there was a concentration of Russian troops in Crimea or Donbass, the Ukrainians could hit them. Until recently, the Russians used to be safe if the troop concentrations were far enough away from the front lines because the US refused to supply the long range ATACMS missiles. That changed a few weeks ago. Now, with the longer range ATACMS in their arsenal, Ukraine can hit any point in Crimea and Donbass.
Here are hits on targets in the bottom of Crimea:
...And here are strikes on Kupiansk:
The only place safe now from being hit by Western weapons is in Russia. The Russian army has been moving troops in large numbers to right across the border from Kharkiv, and everybody sees it but the United States won't allow Ukraine to even fire at them with a slingshot or BB gun if the weapon came in an aid package. We've flooded the area with anti-tank weapons, but the Russians aren't using vehicles for this Kharkiv assault. They are using 5-man groups that work their way forward on foot to regroup at the target. Only about 30% of the troops get through but Russia is sending so many thanks to the large reserves they have safe out in the open on the Russian side of the border that it is still a threat. Trump has zero to do with any of the current situation in Kharkiv. Please rip up your voter card.

If Trump has the power to release this man, why doesn’t he? Instead, he’s blackmailing us. Which shouldn’t be a surprise. He does this all the time. He held Stormy’s career until she slept with him. He held up military aid for Ukraine. He’s just a mob boss that has got millions of cultists who worship him.
Last time Repubs did this (Johnson v Nixon) they kept it mostly a secret. Not anymore. He’s just tweeting the strategy.
