I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

The reason US became so strong and rich was because of developing trade and for trade it needs peace.

Without it the US will become irrelevant and eventually weak enough that other super powers that develop because of this move will take over.

The war was winnable and Ukraine had upper had until this change, it was projected that Russia would run off resources this year. You can't keep country in war economy forever. It drains a lot of resources.

In fact of we didn't restrict Ukraine in 2022 and give them full help out could end that year, as Russia was acting very incompetent initially and didn't have time to set up their defenses.

What projection is this? I hear from both sides that the other side is on the verge of losing for years now.

I am not talking about some random comments here. It was well known that 2024 was the peak of what Russia could get with their war economy and it is showing that it indeed was true, they significantly slowed down and just now trump gave them a help line.
