I love fueling the fountain of blood! I especially love fueling the fountain of blood overseas while my fellow citizens die and add more blood!
Hexbear dumbasses & spreading for an authoritarian regime, name a more iconic duo.
You know what’s anti-war? War!
Ah yes, because a war of defense is the same as a war of offence. /S
Helping an ally defend themselves from an aggressor is based
Saying they should fend for themselves is fucked.
We love 2 send working class conscripts to die over lines on a map!
Doesn’t matter if they accomplish anything, we indebted their country over our scraps!

Yeah the Wagner Group and their enablers can fuck off.
Or are you saying that you drank Russia’s Kool Aid of their justification for their invasion of Ukraine?
Edit: Apparently the comment this was a reply to isn’t here anymore or this got slapped onto the wrong comment somehow? But this was a reply to someone saying that Nazis don’t get to use self defense or something close to it.
The 5 in your username is your age, isn’t it?
Time for Hawaii to get a bunch of Abrams and Bradleys.
this but unironically, so that they can decolonise and drive the worldwide terrorist authoritarian yankoid empire from their lands

Maybe they could use them to declare independence from a country that cares more about bombing people overseas than protecting its own
I’m not sure about the US, but the UK is providing arms to Ukraine under bilateral aid agreements. The exact terms of these agreements aren’t public, but traditionally bilateral aid agreements heavily favour the country giving, as the country receiving is desperate. Thus, the weapons are not being donated, they are being provided as a long term loan.
It’s almost inevitable that Ukraine won’t be able to pay back this loan. This means the UK will probably have to write off this debt, eventually. However in the meantime the books can be balanced (or at least it makes it look like the government hasn’t raped the country as much as it has) and the write off will be a future government’s problem. Also, whatever amount Ukraine will still pay should help ensure the country remains on the back foot, should it survive its invasion from Russia.
No real surprise from a government in bed with Russia over the years leading up and into the invasion.
Suffice it to say, the war machine money printer go brrrr.
Daily reminder to the reminder - the U.S. has to replace those supplies with new stuff which does cost money.
One thing we can do is push for our government to not replace it
Or to not replace it with as much hardware
We’ve got quite the excessive stockpile currently
C’mon we both know they’re gonna spend beaucoup bucks on it, there’s nothing the government likes more than military spending
Or… to use the money which would be used in replacing the equipment in the form of aid in Hawaii.
Which, with all due respect, is the entire point of saying what your image is “disproving”. As it stands, the image only serves as propaganda to concerned citizens who think that the resources their government is spending could be better used.
And before you dismiss this as some kind of “tankie” talking point, the majority of Americans think their government shouldn’t be spending as much on Ukraine. The massively inflated budget for “Defense” could very well be redirected to aid in the context of a domestic disaster.
A majority of Americans still support aid to Ukraine, the main group of Americans that are showing a lack of support are Republicans. Here’s a fun chart demonstrating that. And showing how Republicans immense lack of support is driving the average down.
We should be aiding Hawaii greatly with what’s going on over there right now just as we should every time a natural disaster hits an area.
Basically this post is a response to the amount of people I’ve seen and heard saying that we should be sending aid to Hawaii instead of Ukraine rather than aiding both.
We have a large budget for aid for natural disasters, it should be larger due to their increased frequency but it’s still quite large.
Hexbear tankies invading this post just like their favourite leader invades countries. With large numbers and stupidity.
Oh yeah they are
I was really enjoying 196 as a tankie free zone
I think our rule needs to add hexbear to the list that includes Lemmygrad
Yea but what if we didn’t make that shit in the first place?
Unfortunately time travel only exists in one direction so we can’t have prevented the making of the equipment in the first place.
What we can do is try to prevent our government from replacing a lot of the equipment though.
Unfortunately as long as Russia is being an aggressor to it’s neighbors I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.
