Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Meanwhile, Russia supplies targeting information to Iran to help them kill Americans.

Hard to see what Trump would be doing differently if he was a Russian asset.

Trump helps Russia. That's probably his chief motivation in starting this war.

Poor Ukraine

"Trump helps Russia. That's probably his chief motivation in [insert corrupt activity here]".

Ill bet kamala would have (checks notes) started a literal war with iran, and threw a lifeline to the russians while still continuing to glass gaza, deporting people and robbing americans of their rights.

We did it guys!

Fuck all you sitouts. Hows the oil price where you are?

And Ukranians kneeling to support the US against Iran

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago

To be fair Iran has been supplying Russia with drones that have been killing Ukrainians. Ukrainians honestly have more of a credible reason for hating Iran than the US.

Still probably not in their best interest to be justifying wars of aggression...

Because they desperately need any kind of materiel they can get, and they're hoping not to be cut off

If Europe would properly equip them they could be independent of the US.

That's been in the works in Ukraine and the EU, but that kind of production capacity takes years to build. Hopefully soonish the war profiteers can be traded for, at least, slightly fresher ones.
