What?
Probably just paying them to stay on message about Ukraine and stop rambling about random culture war issues like alleged elementary school litter boxes.
than 50% of the US realizes there’s still an embargo.
Oh trust me, enough of the Republican base still remembers it enough to screech any time there’s any talk of ending it.
Several wounded soldiers interviewed by The Post explained how they suffered injuries in battle before capture, including one who said he injured himself with his own grenade in hopes he would die and not be taken prisoner. Ukrainian soldiers provided him first aid, he said, and then evacuated him to a clinic where he was X-rayed and had surgery to remove shrapnel from his wounds.
Wow, Russia really must be feeding them with propaganda about what being a POW in Ukraine is like, glad he survived to see it wasn’t true.

One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.
Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.
This war sure has produced a ton of clips that have made me say, “Damn, we’re living in the future.”
I mean yeah you can say it’s just a proxy war, but if a large nation supporting a small nation during a time of war makes it a proxy war, then the American Revolution was a proxy war between Britain and France. Proxy wars can still be liberatory, just like this one, where Ukraine is literally fighting for it’s freedom and survival.
Nice misinformation Vatnik.
More weapons than money, but yes that’s what you have to do when your country is being invaded and you don’t have the industrial base to suddenly build an army from nowhere.
Yes, the man who has been leading his country in a war for survival and winning is the real clown! /s
Ignorant American here, are any of the parties in Brazil trying to defend Maduro? I was very surprised to see even Lula take a stand against him.
Yeah, by manpower Germany’s was definitely larger, by budget though, our annual military spending blows theirs out of the water.
In 2021, the U.S. spent about 700 billion dollars on it’s military.
Though to be fair, the U.S. has a lot more of an economy and population to work with and isn’t investing nearly as much, far more was spent on the military by Germany as a percentage of their GDP, and their military had more people per capita than the U.S. does today.
but it was definitely the biggest.

If we only want to overthrow leftists because of economic resources.
It’s not even a leftist thing, the U.S. opposes right-wing power grabs and coups abroad as well, and has for at least two decades.
Plenty of revolutions have happened, before, during, and after the Cold War without U.S. support, the U.S. actively opposed the breakup of the Soviet Union for example, and yet it happened, and several democracies were created from it’s downfall, with little influence from the U.S.
dictators without the U.S. funding them FTFY
Even if the U.S. government did regularly fund protests/resistance against dictatorships, why would that be a bad thing? As long as it’s not singlehandedly deciding on regime change like in Iraq, I don’t see anything morally wrong with supporting pro-democracy causes within dictatorships.
You may be joking, but that’s pretty much the attitude of the Ukrainian Intelligence Services at the moment, there’s no point in sending well trained operatives into a meat grinder on the eastern front, much more efficient to just let them go around the world hunting the Russian Intelligence Services
Stunt by who? Prigozhin? Definitely. Putin? There’s no way in hell.
