Because they think it's a stupid proxy war that doesn't serve the US (because it strengthens BRICS which hurts the Petro Dollar) and that US support for Ukraine is a ploy to ensure that supposed US funded biolabs (that are pretty much confirmed to exist, afaik) aren't uncovered, because Joe and Hunter Biden are likely to be involved in them via the company Metabiota.

I'm as irritated as everyone else because it's usually not the Republicans to be the sane ones but it seems the Democrats are even more corrupt nowadays. The FBI is actively trying to suppress evidence of bribery of a sitting President and it's even denying answering Congress (or Senate? Not 100% sure which one, I'm not an American) inquiries.

The world has gone mad.

    Wow. Everything you just said was wrong. This war has empowered NATO and the US more than every action taken by the US in the last 20 years combined. The biolabs theory is a joke as is the idea that a republican FBI director appointed by Trump would protect Biden. I always hear about how non Americans have a better perspective on US news, but deluded misinfo like this makes me believe that idea is bullshit.

    There's been lots of mainstream reporting on the corruption allegations and the Senate/Congress hearing where the FBI chief kept on repeating the same evasive non-answers I mentioned were livestreamed. Can provide some sources once I'm back at home, though, if requested.

    I'm usually not in a debating mood when people just start calling me a liar though. I'm not even in favor of republicans/centrists and I consider myself an anarchist more than anything else so I'm not really into partisanship here. 🤷‍♂️

    I'm perfectly fine with people having different opinions and arriving at different conclusions but just calling me a liar when I can back up my claims is no good style.

    Key concept: ignore allegations and only follow convictions. Then you’ll see most accusations are bullshit/projection from those committing the crimes. Hint: nearly all true convictions/guilty pleas are from the R side.

    Republicans and Democrats are both part of a disfunction machine.

    And alot of people are naive to how raw and evil life can be.

    I lean left more than right but I don't want to support either side. It's all power games and greed... Just look at BLM (the organization not the idea) and maga. They are great examples. Both corrupted organizations.

    We shouldn't be picking sides anymore... We should be living to our independent potential but we never will because both sides take soul as a trade for an idea of false security in a world where no man or organization can control universal law but they keep killing to try to.
