Robert Kennedy, Jr. explains that the U.S. military-industrial complex's goal is to prolong the War in Ukraine, maximizing the loss of lives while continuing to expand NATO and advocating for regime change in Russia:

If it makes you feel any better, I came over after being banned from reddit. Nothing like a warm welcome at the "free speech" alternative.

I'm glad you believe the lies of those who advocate for "healthcare for everyone," if that were really the case, we could get rid of medicare, medicaid, and welfare, and move the funds over to "healthcare for everyone," but that has somehow not been proposed.

Nothing you say disproves my points. Russia isn't even using the full force of their might. Their air forces have been mostly left out, and there are lots of soldiers in other border areas that remain where they are. No one is claiming the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a fraud, and that was similarly disastrous.

You're wrong about me being a "paid poster." I was formerly a moderator on /r/conservative and was banned (under the same username, if you would like to check) from reddit, for not bowing the knee to their leftists talking points. You make no valid points whatsoever, particularly since Russia was mostly pacified during Boris Yeltsin's rule, and Russia has attacked (directly or indirectly) no less than three of its neighbors.

I have no interest in "defending the power:" I have long-been a small-government conservative. But weakening a volatile nuclear power without using our own soldiers looks like both a smart idea and a win on the international stage to me.

Then what's with backing the State Department line that Russia is some huge threat? They're not a threat at all. A real threat would have powered through Ukraine.

But weakening a volatile nuclear power without using our own soldiers looks like both a smart idea and a win on the international stage to me.

Neocon, then. Pro-war internationalist.

This site has a passel of paid posters posting all over the place, and it's easy to spot them because they constantly peddle the US government's lines on just about everything: Ukraine, Pfizer, Biden, etc.

I've been a longtime Biden hater. My accounts on reddit and patriots.win will bear that out. And I fail to see how I'm a "neocon" when I entirely oppose sending American soldiers to Ukraine.

You've entirely failed to make any points whatsoever. Russia is a threat because it has nuclear weapons. Do you deny that? Ukraine held Russia off in their first wave a year ago, and that's when the world realized that they could deplete Russia of all their power by proxy, and it's worked.

Throw insults at me, make false accusations, but for every Russian tank that's destroyed, every Russian missile that is shot down, every bit of ammunition that is wasted, their own neighbors are sleeping a little easier. This is a war that American soldiers don't have to have boots on the ground. NATO wins, no matter what, because Russia is weak and only gets weaker.

I have real points, and you have offered nothing in return.

There's a group of users here with weird worldview - that everybody who isn't pro-Kremlin/anti-Ukraine is a shill. Just ignore them.

This is a very weird time, I have to admit. I grew up during the Cold War. Everyone but the communists agreed that NATO was a good thing. Everyone knew that a proxy war against the Soviet Union would bleed them out and hasten their downfall. We have Russia in a no-win situation: they have to play very carefully fighting against Ukraine because they know they can't fight a war against NATO without seeing Moscow turned to glass, but NATO is throwing one-generation old military technology at Ukraine and its effective.

I'm against US and NATO troops in NATO, but I like seeing Moscow being humiliated and pushed back by Ukraine. This feels like a win-win, and I can't see a scenario where I would support Vlad the Impaler Putin.

That's where you're wrong, bucko.

Europeans hated NATO and staged massive protests against it. How do you not even know this, "Cold Warrior"?

I like seeing Moscow being humiliated

Pro-war neocon. How about a better idea? No war and death and profits for the military-industrial complex? Weird take, eh?

This is a small reddit alternative, so lots of contrarians here. As I imagine their thinking:

"MSM lies -> I'm anti-MSM, always ; MSM says Russia bad/Ukraine good, therefore I'm taking an opposite position: Russia good/Ukraine bad!"

Ask yourself: if the US government could alter your brain to becoming an unpaid spokesman for them, what would they change, exactly?

their own neighbors are sleeping a little easier.

Who the fuck cares? They hold America in utter contempt. What are we, America World Police? You know the entire world hates us starting wars all over the planet, and rightfully so?

Ok shill

It's sad that there are people so far up their own rear-ends that they believe their own lies.

Ok neocon
