    That feels contrived. Are we expected to form international policy based on social media buzz?

    Edit to add: is not that the Biden administration is losing interest in supporting Ukraine, it’s just that half of Congress is taking orders from someone who wants Putin to win.

Just today I was browsing reddit discussions and if you dig through a great deal of these account’s user history they’re obviously troll accounts stirring shit. Sometimes it’s insanely blatant because they know the vast majority of people will never look.

    When has the US pulled out of a war because it was unpopular? I mean sure, after 20 years or so, but we’re at around 2? Also, this was has been massively profitable for US special interests and is a massive drain on Russia’s resources without costing American lives.

    Europe on the other hand is not really keen on letting Russia conquer territory in its direction, and that goes for both the populace and the governments.
