NATO first expanded to include Poland. The reason was not "American Pressure" it was because Poland demanded to be let in or they would develop a nuclear program to defend against Russia. So we let them in.
The world is not just th great powers, all nations have agency.
Saying NATO expansion is just a reaction completely ignores how empires actually operate. The US has spent decades expanding its military footprint up to Russia's border to maintain a unipolar world. You can’t analyse global power structures by only looking at one side. You can oppose Putin’s government while still acknowledging that the US and NATO actively manufactured the security crisis that led us here today.

And that is why I will continue to support the Republican Party, oppose the Democratic Party, but be upset at being forced to do this by some vague other.
There is no better example I can think of how Trump isn’t a steward of America or remotely patriotic or even nationalistic. He is simply a partisan of his own ego. This is just gross. He’s trying to suck up to a dictator and adversary by mocking another American president. And, btw, the anonymous functionary running this account will be remembered as a tiny little throne-sniffing weasel.

Un-ironically it is the perfect poster. Because its a made up hallucination because there are no real life example to look at.
Poster for the SAVE ACT, if ever there were one. A masked Antifa criminal stuffing a ballot box.
Who’s more of a traitor? This masked Democrat operative or Republican fraud John Thune for failing to stop the likes of her(him?)

Well, just trying the new game Subway Builder. Highly recommend but do remember it's still in development by @Colin_d_m because while it's great, something looks off about Mercer Island in my Seattle game. The island's not there, but the people and buildings are. Slight bug?

And much like the gold standard, it is outdated, replaced by a far better functioning system, and returning to it would destroy our modern way of life.
We’re restoring gold-standard science, applying common sense, and beginning to earn back the public’s trust. And we’re doing it by working with industry to get toxic dyes out of the foods our families eat every day.

In 2008 Obama opposed same sex marriage. If you supported same sex marriage, were you really going to try to argue a vote for Obama and McCain would have no difference for the LGBT movement?
UK is filled with terfs. If you want things to get better it starts with a small step.

My "I was never an escort for Senator Ted Cruz" shirt is prompting a lot of questions answered by the shirt.

The best part is ending with him saying of others "these are not serious people" like he's on top of things

Damn. This is my old neighborhood, basically a neighbor. Hardly the first like this I've seen but can't help that it hits a little harder.
I am deeply disturbed by several horrific antisemitic graffiti which occurred overnight in our community near the Trolley Trail in Bethesda (pictured) and along Tuckerman Lane with swastika and neo-Nazi symbolism as well as “White Power” and ”Defend Bethesda.” 1/
What's more shocking than this headline is that a similar question was on Louisiana's ballot and they voted to not ban slavery.
"Policy as a far, far diminished priority."
Gaetz says if Republicans don’t immediately begin impeachment of Biden and Cabinet officials if they get the majority “our voters will feel betrayed” heading into 2024, “and that’s why it should be investigations first, and policy as a far, far diminished priority.”
I love that half the comments are saying "I don't believe this is true, christians would never act like this!" and the other half are "As a christian we should all aspire to be like this."

"But I showered last week, why do I need to shower again?"
"I looked both ways before crossing on the last road, why should I do it here too?"
Truly amazing to watch people just not understand that in a democracy we hold votes more than once to decide things.
