That's the thing. Nobody is simping for Ukraine. Congress is aware of this and simply doesn't give a shite. They're doing it anyway.

It sure would be helpful if the people you elected and sent to DC would try to fricking do something about it.

Isn't this exactly why we are in Ukraine? To preserve our economic interconnectedness?

No, dude. I'm explaining to you how our government works. The problem isn't the existence of the state dept. It's that it's populated by shiftless ghouls. Good people would be doing actual diplomacy instead of constantly setting up new money laundering schemes.

State should do lots of things, but driving policy & ignoring what the President says isn’t among those duties.

Like trying to remove lines from Reagan’s Brandenburg speech which comes to mind.

You are 100% correct. The problem we face is that so many folks have been fooled into thinking the US is trying to deliver Freedom and destroy Russia all in one.

Ukraine is how the World washes it's money. Hunter's laptop woke people up to how DC was making money for politicians.

Ukraine has lost the war.

Which means that they threw all of our money away, and ruined our economy on a losing horse.
KNOWLINGLY on a losing horse.

Drive that home, when the subject comes up.

Russia was in such bad shape that even their own mercenaries decided they could take over.

If we wanted Ukraine to win the conflict, we'd have set them up to win it.
Right now all we are doing is paying for chicken tenders.

The rando with a PFP of a Ukrainian flag isn’t profiting. He’s simping. There are far more of those in our country than there are people profiting from the aid.

Rudyard Kipling
1897


There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
A hint of danger in his eye
Alarm bells raging round his brain
And the chimney's broken in the sky

Wake up
Wake up and smell the roses
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Come on honey it's real money

This is the room where they make the explosives
Where they put your name on the bomb
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
And scratch out words like right and wrong

Wake up
Wake up and smell the phosphorus
This is the room we keep a human heir
Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us
Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
At the bottom of the stair
Money honey

Wake up
Wake up and smell the bacon
Run your greasy fingers through her hair
This is the life that you have taken

Just a line in the captain's log
Just a whine from a resident dog
Another kid didn't make the grade
Come on honey it's a fair trade

Wake up
Wake up and smell the roses
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
Now we can forget the threat she poses
Girl you know you couldn't get much higher


Roger Waters 2017.

Hahaha that's a hell of a powerful meme!

Made me want to throw up just a little, but still quite powerful!
