    As a representative of the world outside the US. We root for the Republicans. Not because we like them. We just see that the world outside US Is better of that way, the US not so much, but we just waiting for the empire to crumble.

    Republicans drop less bombs on us than Dems do.

      This is definitely true for Russian conscripts in Ukraine ;)

              It’s more like Trump and Bush bomb people but they keep it a secret. Obama moved the drone program out of the CIAs purview and that is part of the reason that we now know how large the extent of its operation is.

              Which war over the last 50 years that the US has been involved in have been started by a Democrat? (Hint: zero)

                  I think you should engage in better political analysis than saying that Republicans start more wars because Democrats are the ones who started WW2 and The Mexican-American war. I just don’t really see the value in that. You should instead argue that modern wars, while usually started by Republicans, tended to have large political consensus on both the Democratic and Republican sides.

                  Yes I don’t think wars from 100 years ago are relevant to the discussion, since everyone involved from them are dead now.

            Well don’t be an idiot then. You’re mixing political ideology with ethnicity, that’s a republican thing to do.

              Not really. I live in neither Russia nor the US, but I do happen to live in a neighbouring country to Russia. I have a problem with the whole country, their war crimes and especially their fuckwit of a president.

                Me tiedämme, Andrez. Then it’s especially important to critically analyze what you say. You can shit on z-vatniks and Russian government all you want. But, there are lots of Russians who are against the war and actively fighting the regime. Some are suffering heavily. We’re in the same boat. And here you are running around throwing shade at the entire Russian ethnicity/nationality, implying intellectual inferiority. We’ve heard that like hundreds of times already. We understand that our nation turned full blown fascist state and people get emotional. But on thousandth time, inevitably, the thoughts crawl up that “You know what? Maybe Putin was right and they really are Nazi pricks. Why am I fighting instead of joining?”. Don’t feed the war machine. We don’t know what this mad fuck is up to, but I’ve recently heard him repeatedly say “Russia is not going to attack NATO”. Given his track record… I’d rather prefer if his resources dry up before that happens.

                  I don’t give a shit, and if that was an attempt to intimidate me you failed spectacularly. You should know better.

                  We both know this’ll end with us giving you chuckle fucks another round of generational PTSD.

                  Intectually inferior? That’s quite the joke considering your educational system. You live in a derelict gas station led by madmen masquerading as a country.

                    Wow dude, that’s mask-off open prejudice. That guy’s response was articulate and thoughtful and you just replied with some KKK level bigotry.

      Modern Republicans started the War In Iraq, War in Afghanistan and consistently push for war with Iran. Most major US Interventions that people dislike happened under Republican presidents, Panama, Grenada, Gulf War 1 & 2, Afghanistan, etc… but most of these happened with Democratic support.

      What I’m trying to say is, your gonna get bombed regardless, but with Republicans those bombs are more likely to be nukes. You should probably just turn off the TV and hope for the best rather than rooting for any side.
