Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fucking lmao.
Either stop swallowing Chomskyite propaganda or go lick boots elsewhere.
That is unintentionally hilarious.
Chomsky is constantly beating the drum "Amerikkka Bad!", and now the one fucking time we're on the right side of an issue, he still only has one note. And all edgy little contrarians hang off his every word so they can feel like an intellectual. So yeah, I think Chomsky and all his fanclub are shitheads, and it disgusts me how much traction they get online.
Having an actual view over what events are currently happening in the world, and being interested in war and the history of wars is not licking boots. It's also not licking boots to recognize that bad things happen to good people and the bad guys sometimes win, especially if they have the manpower and resource advantage.
Rejecting facts you don't like is something the right does. It also doesn't change the reality of the situation. It is useful only for Ad hominem attacks when you want to deny what the other person is saying.

Avdiivka is the key to holding the Donbas region, and specifically Donetsk.
Explain to me how a country that used up most of its fighting age men wins? The average age of a soldier in Ukraine is in the high 40's. Who do you think will manage and use the weapons we supply?
But, I'm guessing your knowledge of the war is simply "Russia Bad, Ukraine Win!" and any actual material analysis of the war is just propaganda. Do yourself a favor. Read up on the war, look at a fucking map, and think critically on the facts and come up with your own opinions rather than just sucking yours from someone elses tit.
Because mobilization age is 27, dumbass.
"Ukraine, having lost 100,000 casualties out of a population of 38 million, is now out of men!!!"
Keep licking those boots.
Adviivka fell.
And so that means the Donbass is under Russian control.
Also, I should have pointed out:
That's not how averages work. Please take a remedial statistics course.
Also, it's 25.
I'm sure this is propaganda, too, right? The Washington post being that bastion of leftist thought.

Also, who do you think is going to be the leader of Ukraine tomorrow, Zelensky or Zaluzhny?
I'm curious, did you even know who the second name is? Or are you literally just "Ukraine good! I know nothing else, but Ukraine good!"
Literally have commented on the conflict between Zelenskyy and Zaluzhni before. But you keep licking those boots and pretending that "Lack of currently trained infantry in a sector" is "Literally no more men left to recruit".
