You sound like a left cultist.

Ukraine has never attempted to make Russia a part of its house by force, that, I'm aware of.
Research 2014 Minsk peace treaty.

No Democrats are focused on increasing the safety for Ukraine.
And also making it illegal for rail workers to strike against big rail corporations.

In the history class I teach, we discuss the bad things Lincoln did as well as the good things, and then let the students come to their own conclusions about the balance of the man. Censoring history turns it into a cult worship class, and I do not allow for it.

If enough people were curious enough to read Mein Kampf, USA would NOT be in the Ukraine right now repeating EU history. A comprehensive History class doesn't just teach the effects. They teach the causes.

When trying to gain power, you try to make people feel bad for you. Victimhood.
That only works in a pampered society. In a society wracked by poverty and starvation, that would turn people off.

You mean China. The largest single shareholder of Disney is China going by the box office receipts.
Also, Disney has to take black people out of their movies for China.

Just go down the list...hyperinflation...hyperpartisanship...looming recession... Everything that destroyed the Weimar is going to destroy both of the current political parties in the US, (including Trump) and that's how you get fascism. You think Trump was fascist? Boy you haven't even begun to see it yet.

They don't even teach about the Weimar republic anymore. Had a discussion with a high school history teacher today about it, said it was out of scope.
Probably more relevant today to know about the Weimar than ever before.

2 main drivers today are causing the credit rating to slip. Partisan gridlock when passing a budget and a rising debt to GDP ratio, where we are at around 130% today. Anything over 100% is considered less than stable.
The alarm bells were first sounded in 2011.

The main reason I hear is that it couldn't meet the demand for money, but this idea seems kinda shaky to me.
I believe the reason was that people had incentives to hoard gold and affect the supply of money. This would stall growth as there was not enough money to loan out for venture capital businesses. Around 1930 it was made illegal to own gold for that reason. Around 1970, the GDP was growing much faster than the available supply of gold so it became impossible to keep the gold standard without wild fluctuations of the value of the dollar.
Today the value of paper notes is tied basically to a promise to pay back backed by basically the GDP of the USA. The only problem with this is that government spending is calculated as GDP, leading to a circular loop of reserves funding further reserves. It's what will make the next economic crash, when it happens, become monumentally worse than the one in 1930. The crash will happen exactly when the country starts to slip in it's Moody's credit rating as the Debt to GDP ratio reaches a point where lenders are no longer willing to trust the USA to pay them back.

It's not courageous to continue a pointless war over peace.
Putin invaded Ukraine, unnecessarily
And Zelensky invaded Donetsk unnecessarily in 2014. 2 wrongs are never right. There is no "good guy" in this war.
Either you want peace, or you want 2 bad guys to continue fighting until one is completely destroyed. If Ukraine is destroyed, it will be forgotten, if Putin is destroyed, there will be a nuclear winter. Stop playing the war game and have courage for peace.
You have no spinal courage as you did not choose the option you like best, just as i predicted you would not.
I chose option 3, but I want it much sooner than you do.

@Double_R
You were the one bringing up Biden's position, which seems to align closely with Joy Behar's take on Ohio. It's a red region that doesn't deserve excessive help because there is no political capitol to be gained from it.
Neither is there any support from any lobby groups to pressure DC actors to waste time there.
As far as the rail companies go, Biden and his Democrat administration has already proved they are firmly in the pocket of the rail companies the day Biden signed the law to end the rail strike and make it illegal for rail workers to strike. The last thing Biden's administration would ever want to do is to destroy their political capitol with the rail lobbies by pushing the kinds of regulations the rail workers were demanding among other things per their strike demands.

I'll have to agree with this simply because if it was a planned release, the vaccine would have been available much sooner than it was.

1} he pulls out troops --as any righteous humans would consider the just/fair thing to do---,
Leading to another 15,000 civilians in the Donetsk being killed by far right extremists out of Kiev.
2} Ukraine with assistance drives Putin's troops back to Russia where they justly belong,
So a full out ground war to recapture Crimea which has already asked to be a part of Russia. That's pure evil.
3} both sides --and those assisting--- become exhausted with war, and agree to a diplomacy,
This is inevitable. The only question is how many people you are willing to kill before you come to this reality. We could have had a peace treaty last April similar to the Minsk agreement Ukraine broke in 2014. Pro war activists killed the peace talks.
4} WW 3 begins with or ends with hydrogen bombs annihilating humanity.
This will most certainly be inevitable if you pursue 1 or 2 long enough.

This is retaliation over This clip from an American Reporter.
Why are we supporting a country that attacks and threatens Americans and habitually kills journalists?
Why support a country that threatens the USA if the USA doesn't send American troops to die for the Donetsk?

In a free market society with no taxes while alive, everyone would keep 100% of the agreed upon rate for their fruits of their labors instead of the current peter paying paul system. Such a one world system could actually be feasible with a 100% inheritance tax, because you can't take it with you.

With all that anti war rhetoric about a nuclear winter, you might be called a Putin puppet for pushing for peace over neverending war.

Mind you, this "gift card" is most likely tax funded out of the massive Covid expense account. It's money that has to be spent once allocated.

Regime change wars have not made America any safer. We still have retributive threats in all of South America with the current border crisis as a direct result of our failed regime change wars there.
It's astonishing how well the paid propaganda from Lockheed martin, Raytheon, and Boeing have taken firm hold in the minds of Americans as patriotic Doctrine.
This is the new Manifest Destiny, but these are not the same Indians.

by showing dictators around the world that if they start a war of aggression
America has been an aggressor in every regime change war, including their involvement in the Euromaidan revolt.
Dictators that push back against this kind of aggression should be praised.

To the extent corporations are feeling the pressure to think a certain way that's because that's what the population they are among wants from them. Not everyone of course, but most. That's all were seeing here. There's no conspiracy.
My contention is that global national corporations are under tremendous pressure from external nations to subvert American interests.
The NBA is another example when asked about how much China influences their business policies.
My contention is not a conspiracy.

This thread shows the normalization of hatred and outright neglect of Americans that are not supporting a political party.
It's being manifested in areas like Palestine Ohio. What do you think will be the consequences for allowing this culture to fester?
