Like it or not, when the beacons are lit, The United States will answer.
George Washington's wisdom has never been more correct. Friendly relations with all, entangling alliances with none. I'm aware of our obligations, but I have no interest in coming to their rescue for the third time. They have their own militaries, if they're at a disadvantage it's of their own making.

Fair enough, but let's try to avoid an escalation.

That's not how treaties work.

Because it matters, countries posture on one another based on how they are perceived. Just the way it is. We are divided and weak as a nation.

I'm not beating any war drum. I want this to deescalate. But we can't let the Russians steamroll Europe. What are you, Neville Chamberlain?

Exactly. Germany gave up its energy independence to rely on Russian imports. Now Europe is facing the consequences of their own actions.

Why do you hate America? You think Putin gives a damn about trans students? You watch too much right wing media.

Putin is attacking because he has no other choice. His economy is in shambles. As a Russian male, he's got about 5 years left of life left. His legacy is on the line.

If you're siding with Putin because there are genderless bathrooms, you're a bad American.

The “hate America” shaming won’t work.
