    War is not up for a vote. The war machine will continue to operate regardless of what the House of Representatives does.

      Very true. Russia doesn’t care what the US house thinks. They started the war after all. Russia continues to mobilize the war machine while the US fails to act decisively

        The US fails to act decisively because they don’t want the war to ever end. Give Ukraine just enough support to keep the war going forever, until Russia is bankrupt.

          Do you not see the contradiction in your statement or are ya just stupid. Russia going bankrupt could be considered a victory condition. Especially if concessions such as Crimea can be forced in a peace deal.

            Russia isn’t going bankrupt.

            What might happen is they just run out of bodies and the country collapses into civil war, 1917 style. Petrostates don’t go bankrupt, they collapse violently.

                  The citizens? Irrelevent, unless it can gain notable strategic advantages IE Dresden. The Conscripts? Yes. They could turn their rifles at any time they couldve draft dodged but they didnt, they deserve same as the Japanese, Germans, and Italians during WW2.

                    No no, I mean civilians are going to die if Russia actually collapsed like that. That’s a bad thing.

                    I have the radical belief that death is bad. I guess liberals are too bloodthirsty for the flesh of “orcs” to remember the human cost of endless war.

      Always has been. We saw how Obama ran on an anti-war platform in the middle of the middle east wars. Then he continued and expanded the wars after being elected.

          Gosh isn’t it strange, conservatives never saw a war they didn’t like until the one that’s inconveniencing the Russian president in 2023.

                I want the war to end.

                Dronies want endless war, that’s why they love giving weapons to radical right-wingers. Once Russia is done, then America can spend another 20 years dealing with the new terrorist organizations that they spawned. Y’all did the same shit in Afghanistan - arm radical islamists to stop Russia and then start a war against the radical Islamists you armed. Win/Win!

                  The war could end at any time if Putin stops invading his neighbor. But you know this and just want to keep sucking authoritarian dick under the guise “but I want peeeeece” You’re aware that everyone not radicalized like you can see right through that, right? Gotta love how you compare a country being genocided to “arming radical islamists” Pathetic.

                    Arming neonazis in Ukraine is essentially the same as arming Islamists in Afghanistan. The parallels are extremely obvious. It’s even the same proxy war against Russia!

                    We can’t control Russia’s actions. We can control ours, and we should be pushing for peace talks. We won’t, because dronies a frothing at the chance to defeat Russia and are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to make it happen.

                    And dronies pretend to be tolerant, but when frustrated they love to accuse people of “sucking dick”. As if there something shameful or submissive about the act, as if it even makes sense as an insult.
