I’m starting to see why America hasn’t won a war in like 100 years.

It’s pretty embarrassing when you starve your people just to have the world’s most expensive army… only to constantly lose. Lmao.

        There’s over 45 countries that have provided mutations/aid for the defense of Ukraine. Singling out one particular country seems disingenuous when you think about it. It’s okay to not like America but your OP is strange to me since the caption is specifically about a Ukrainian policy or whatever it is.

        It would be like me posting about cereal or something and then saying “China bad”. See what I’m saying?

          Maybe you don’t know what what US hegemony is? The West answers to the US. My own country has a US military base smack dab in the middle of it. It’s not strange to state a fact.

          The war in Ukraine and US warmongering are very much linked. Unlike your example. Either you don’t understand global politics or you’re being disingenuous yourself.

            I understand your point about US hegemony and its global influence. The connection you’ve made between the war in Ukraine and US involvement in global politics is valid and highlights a significant aspect of international relations. I appreciate you expanding on your previous comment.

            With that said, I still don’t see how the USA is relevant to the caption of your post, respectfully. If it’s just circlejerking that’s fine - I get it.

            While I respect your opinion, even if it’s dismissive, lacks substance, and doesn’t address a single one of my points.

            If you want to elaborate I’m all ears.

          When you say the nato empire + 14 countries it really puts it in perspective how few that is.

          Even split out, there’s 195 countries in the world so you’re effectively saying less than a quarter of them have supported it.

            45 countries that have sent munitions. Support, as you pointed out in your comment is a different number.

            141 countries have expressed support for Ukraine - which is more about 3/4ths of the counties in the world.

            The 4 countries that support Russia are Syria, North Korea, Belarus, and Nicaragua. 35 countries (including China) abstained from voicing support.

            I understand that this invalidates your argument but I’m glad we had this conversation.
