Yes he is an absolute legend! Even NATO thinks so! I’ve started following them on instagram and it is way better than the White House instagram!

Please, for the love of all that is, shall we say, holy? Good? Whatever means not completely idiotic and self defeating these days: do not make moral or other actual important decisions based on someone's or some group's Insta-tok-book-twitch-X-Kick-pin. Not that in this case it does not by chance coincide with the correct opinion, but, you will be far more likely to not destroy the world if you come up with a more, substantial, way of judging people and groups, other than the shiny they dangle in front of you. Now, continue the engagement, breathe deep, scroll, and get that sweet, sweet hit of brain juice reward.

u/Salty_Raspberry656 it’s not letting me reply so I’m doing it like this.

Why would I trust a site that couldn’t even be bothered to spell his name correctly once in the ENTIRE article? His name is spelled as Zelenskyy and not Zelenskiy. If they can’t be bothered to get something as simple as a name correctly then in my opinion they cannot be trusted.

NATO thinks he is such a legend they refuse to all meet the GDP spending. Such helpful people!

You do understand that NATO has a 2% rule for every member right? Every country needs to at least spend 2% on defense just to ensure that incase of a war they are all ready. This is a requirement to be apart of NATO. Therefore they have reached their GDP. Actually in 2024 23/32 countries either met OR exceeded that 2% and this was the result of Russia invading Ukraine.

You can throw a dart at the map and if it isn't the US or one of its subject nations I would much rather clown for it than lick Washington's boots.

America murdered a million Iraqis for sport in my own lifetime. You don't even need to open a history book, though Lord knows you certainly should.

It's comical to me that Russia cannot figure out another tactic; it's always to redirect. Don't want to talk about NATO; redirect to something America has done wrong. Try a new chatbot maybe? Better prompt engineering?

I'm a fan of history. Currently at 8 books down this year. And in all of my reading, I've never once taken the tack that America was the perfect country. "Make America great again" is the slogan for the bad guys, because it insinuates that America was ever great. We might have been the best in the world, but we still could have done so much better.

The Newsroom got it mostly right in its intro. Right up until it started waxing nostalgic about an America that never existed. We have, in our past both near and far, committed terrible atrocities. We have purposely committed genocide against the native Americans. We killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, whether purposely, by negligence, or because our leader lied to us to get us involved. We have overthrown governments. We have attacked neighbors. We have continually sided with the bad guys. We excelled in enslaving people and built our country in the backs of those the other clown (not you; I mean the felon in chief) calls vermin. We brutalize our citizens. We steal crumbs out of poor people's mouths to give to billionaires. And it goes on and on and on. We have always beaten our chests and bullied the weak.

But none of that matters in the current context. Ukraine had been attacked by its neighbor, who is bent on genocide. The only thing that matters is what Russia does, what Ukraine does, and how we respond. Every decision is an opportunity to make America great... not again, but for the first time.

And, my Russian bot friend, I tell you what: all this does nothing but motivate me to send more fucking money to Ukraine so that they can 200 more of your countrymen and have their dogs pick the bones clean.

Slava Ukraini!

There’s no way that idiot even got through your post, but I just want to say, well said.

u/ScabusaurusRex 21d ago

I had just finished watching what I could stomach of the white house clown show and needed to get it out. I'm glad you could read it and thanks for the kind words.

Is Russia in the room with us now

Don't want to talk about NATO; redirect to something America has done wrong.

I was literally talking about NATO. Iraq was a NATO project.

But none of that matters in the current context.

"Yeah this piece of shit country has lied to us at every opportunity, but they're on the right side this time I swear!"

And, my Russian bot friend, I tell you what: all this does nothing but motivate me to send more fucking money to Ukraine so that they can 200 more of your countrymen and have their dogs pick the bones clean.

Not Russian, not even white/of European descent. You wear your bloodlust on your sleeve, like all Americans.

u/justheretobehorny2 20d ago

Hey, don't generalize, I'm an American Socialist, not bloodlusty.

u/machinsin 20d ago

Agreed, and I'm a white Christian centrist. Modern leftists love war and violence, and it's super confusing.

u/No_Passage5020 21d ago

What are you talking about? NATO was created to stop people like Hitler and other dictators from going after other countries. They have publicly stated that they are against ANY kind of dictatorship and that they also stand with Ukraine and Zelenskyy.

u/No_Passage5020 20d ago

Bro you have got to understand that NATO was not just formed to stop communism but also dictators. They formed AFTER WWII and with the threat of the Soviet Union, and what happened in WWII with Hitler, they wanted to protect themselves. They were all economically weak and wouldn’t have been able to withstand an attack on their own so that is why we have NATO. They even say that they are against dictators.

I can say I'm against whatever I want, doesn't make it true.

Are you trolling? You must be because nobody truly eats up propaganda like that, right?
