President signed the legislation championed by late senator Lindsey Graham last month but has waived the restrictions as they were due to come into effect

Maybe “the West” no longer exists. There’s just the US and then there’s Europe, and each of them is doing their own thing.

    Good. I definitely don’t want to be part of Europe’s racist little garden. I’ll take any multipolar world order we can get, and I hope this doesn’t change when Trump is gone soon. Fuck Europe.

      Seems like every time I see the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen it comes from some .ml weirdo who ain’t smart enough to know how dumb he is.

        You’re not saying anything, just ad hominems.

        Use real words to explain how I’m wrong.

          Is it a “tankie” position to demand the democratic right of self determination?

          Ukrainians are neofeudal corporate serfs under a fascist junta owned by Blackrock. All opposition parties are banned. All opposition media has been seized by the state. Men can’t even leave to escape this Banderite death cult.

          Just an impossible victory or an inevitable death?

            I think you meant “Russians”. Russians are neofeudal corporate serfs under a fascist junta owned by Putin. Which is why they’re invading other countries and stealing their land and children and bringing them under authoritarian rule. Because nazis do what nazis do.

            You sound like you’re neck deep in propaganda, my friend. You need deprogramming, but I don’t have the skills for it.

              You’re talking a sparsely populated nation with the same GDP as South Korea.

              Yeah, they’re the problem. Sure. It couldn’t be anything else. Right? Right? Right?

            Men can’t leave because they were invaded by Russia.

            I love the democratic right of self determination, that’s why I support the EU, the last democracy on earth.

              Being tied to the land is serfdom. Slavery.

              No choice to sue for peace, just an impossible victory or inevitable death. Democracy is derived from the individual and nothing else, not religion, not race, not land, not arbitrary borders, not even nations.

              People have a right to exist, not nations.

              Fuck Ukraine. Fuck Israel. Fuck the U.S.

        Six centuries of never ending colonialism is not enough?

        They’re just NOW getting rid of the CFA franc.

        Blue MAGA liberals just want things back the way they were.
