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.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

Ukraine is the world's "bread basket" they produce a ton of the world supply of wheat and barley.
This is some appeasement shit.
You said we need the grain there. We will still be able to get the grain that's there. How's that appeasement?
How is it not? Allowing Russia to invade and take over another country is some 18th century shit, and tells them they can do this with impunity.
So, you push isolationist, defeatist and appeasement propaganda and you wonder why people call you a bot and a troll.
Let the UN stop them then. America can't afford to be the world police.
America isn't being the World Police, not in this instance. We're enabling the Ukrainians to defend themselves, but otherwise are not active participants.
Neither is the UN, BTW. This is a war Ukraine has to fight and win on their own.
Do your thoughts echo in your head?
Hey, I want your car. You should give me your car so I don't have to forcefully take it from you. Ok? Great, let me know where to pick up it. Don't like that idea? Why not?
Sure thing, just bring several million men to my house.
