- Budapest Accords. They had the third largest nuclear arsenal and turned it in for our guarantee that WE WOULD STOP RUSSIA. 🤬 We’ve proven to the world that we can’t be trusted.

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!

The nukes were in Ukraine, but the launch codes and control of them were in Moscow. Also Ukraine were in no position financially to keep them. Getting rid of them were the best option for Ukraine at the time.
The fact that the Americans voted for a demented felon who appointed Kegsbreath the alcoholic is the real problem.
It's because they want Russia to win. If you haven't figured that out by now you're not paying attention.
Greenland, Russia, Canada, the US, as a unified landmass using the USA's might, dominating the arctic sea as the world heats up and the icebergs melt. The arctic sea will be a powerhouse of a trade route while everyone scurries north to survive.
Shits bleak, yo.
What do you expect from a guy who used a Signal group chat to share sensitive and classified details about impending airstrikes, including the types of aircraft and missiles, as well as launch and attack times, and expressed contempt for European allies?
An 6 - 9 second keg stand. I expect he's too old to get to 10
They are trying to hurt Ukraine and help Russia.
Did you ever watch the show The Americans?
The Republican Party (and many Dems) are just Russian assets and paid actors.
Maria Butina is the kind of thing that’s happening all over. She was just bad at it.
The weapons we've given to Ukraine are outdated weapons that likely would have been disposed of eventually. We aren't sending them our most advanced weapons.
Effectively hand-me-downs the military has no active use for.
