      I guess I don’t see the humor in giving a genocidal dictator a military advantage while fighting an offensive war.

          And because of that, Putin deserves to have an advantage in his genocide of Ukrainians?

          That makes no sense to me at all.

              Oh I know the US government has done shitty stuff.

              You said Russia hasn’t though. And I literally gave just one example. So you were wrong

              I never defended the US though

                  Honestly, why would Russia want to go after South America. They have their own neighbors to genocide. Which they’ve done repeatedly.

                  Again, yes, the US has done genocide and supported countless other insurrection and what not. I’m not trying to argue that.

                  But to think Russia is better because they haven’t touched your land specifically is crazy. Look to any of their neighbors, especially the smaller ones, and see the havoc they’ve done. Just because they don’t (fortunately) have the means or will to also fuck you also doesn’t make them better lmao

                  Edit: You’re complaining black bears have destroyed your stuff and would rather have non-native brown bears cause they seem cool and have never caused any trouble in your area.

      Elon Musk doesn’t represent the United States. He’s just some rich fuck with his fingers in too many pies.

          Hey, if I was the dictator of the United States, he’d be standing trial for treason right about now, but I’m not.
