"Another country's war."

Meanwhile completely ignoring the notion that Russia had no intention of stopping in Ukraine, and had their sights set on Moldova and other regions next. Ukraine is a democratically elected country that was taking steps to join both the EU and NATO, a partnership closely linked to the US and one that the US is a member of.

Also completely ignoring that a lot of the retail inflation we're seeing is tied to corporations juking the prices and blaming it on inflation, while they collect record profits.

But hey, troll dicks are small, and their mental capacity even smaller.

I'm not discounting that Russia's evil.

What I'm discounting is that we're somehow good guys for neglecting our own people's basic needs in order to fight yet another war we don't need to, especially in a time when we've spent the last eight years being on the evil side while helping Saudi Arabia starve and decimate Yemen. The only people pretending we're the good guys here don't have any concept of geography or our country's role in the other eight wars we're involved in right now. We already spend nearly a trillion a year on war, so tacking another hundred billion on top of that isn't insignificant.

Also completely ignoring that a lot of the retail inflation we’re seeing is tied to corporations juking the prices and blaming it on inflation, while they collect record profits.

I'm not ignoring that. I'm annoyed that we elected Democrats a majority and they did absolutely nothing meaningful about it while instead flushing tens of billions of dollars that we need down the toilet for another country's war. And I'm annoyed that, with 98% of voters caring about nothing other than team color, I'm powerless to do anything about it.
