Thanks O’Biden!

The source you cite lists 103 nations as less corrupt than Ukraine and only 76 measurably more corrupt. Ukraine is far below average.

Taking measures is not equivalent to making gains. Reality is reality, no matter what level of optimism you have.

Why trust your out of date sources instead of recent headlines regarding corruption amidst a reconstruction estimated at almost half a trillion dollars?

Corruption is thought to be exponentially worse in recent yearswith Zelensky publicly firing corrupt military figures.

There are almost a hundred other countries that rank less corrupt than the Ukrainian government.

The territories in dispute are unlivable minefields for the next few generations as per Vietnam.

America wasted billions already showing no understanding of Ukraine.

At most, 34% Americans can find Ukraine on a map.

Elections don’t negate the most corrupt governments in the world.

“Literally” use Google to see any of the numerous sources stating the fact that Ukraine is far below average in terms of corruption and democracy.

Do you expect me to move along to your new goalpost, and pretend Ukraine is a real democratic state despite ranking behind 91 other states including Sierra Leone and Myanmar. Index

While you spout nonsense about democracy, most westerners have declared their utter dissatisfaction.

A record-low 28% of Americans are satisfied with the way democracy is working in the United States, down from 35% in early 2021 (Source: “American satisfaction with democracy at record low: Gallup”, published January 6, 2024).

I had imagined only children would be so naive as to think Putin values the lives of the soldiers he sacrifices.

They may be making territorial gains but that is at a massive cost.

You do realize those territories are not just land, right?

Please quote where you think I said this.

on that land that will now be under a dictator.

Ukraine is a free and fair democracy??

without American support, which will almost certainly be ending, it’s a lost war

Ukrainians were winning the war with US support??

A phone call on Friday between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin drew criticism from Zelensky, who accused Scholz of opening a “Pandora’s box” that only works to undermine efforts to isolate Russia’s leader.

The more western nations have tried to isolate Russia, the stronger its bonds have grown with China, Iran, India, Brazil, North Korea, and numerous other nations.

Zelensky may well value an end to the war more than the territories he expects to concede. It would be more irrational to try the same thing (if Harris had won) and expect a different outcome to the war.

Who are you to believe you speak for all brown people

How ignorant are you of people with Stockholm syndrome who have collaborated with their tormentors?

Jewish collaboration with Nazi Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_collaboration_with_Nazi_Germany

The “Group 13” from the Warsaw ghetto, led by Abraham Gancwajch, was the only organized group of Jewish collaboraters with the Germans on the basis of ideology.

Is this a reflection of the kind of insults you heard as a child learning to interact with others?

Go back to your country

A white supremacist slogan from a supposed anti-fascist?

Why spout obvious lies when Google exists? There are many examples of Harris fighting to keep now-overturned convincts imprisoned as well, need I go on?

“Defiance of the federal court order requiring the reduction of the California prisoner population is reminiscent of the Southern governors of the 1950s declaring their defiance of federal court desegregation orders,” Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Berkeley Law School, told NPR at the time. “Both were misguided efforts to undermine enforcement of the Constitution.” Added Barry Krisberg, longtime president of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, “The legal arguments that the state is putting forward make no sense.”

Important to note that fascism and genocide broadly persist under the current Harris co-led administration. Persecution and the marginalization of black Americans persists in the most democrat-controlled cities of America, not just in the Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Amusing that Americans fear countries that, even combined, are responsible for a fraction of the worldwide political coups and corruption America itself is responsible for.

America has singlehandedly propped up the Israel military, why pretend it is divorced from moral responsibility in the aftermath of a genocide?

doesn’t mean that Israel shouldn’t be held accountable

Why pretend Americans have any moral high ground in geopolitics, especially regarding Israel?

Wow! Credit from an admitted prejudiced 'Murican!

Media coverage and social discourse, or a lack thereof, regarding settler violence is stark in America.

It can only be called terrorism if the perpetrators are non-white right?

There’s not a thing you could say to overcome my prejudiced view of you.

Typical white American bigot logic.

Where’s your “bar” then? You want a list of every single media outlet that scrutinizes black voters as if they are a dominant voting block?

Where is your goal post hiding now so I can hurry along to meet it?

Ironic name-calling from someone pleading absolute ignorance regarding the black voter blame game.

Why engage in a question you admit to hold utter ignorance?

instances of liberal news outlets that scrutinized Black voters and their potential support for Donald Trump:

The New York Times: An article titled “Are Black Voters Abandoning the Democratic Party?” (October 17, 2024) examined the possibility of Black voters defecting to Trump, citing polls and expert analysis.
Mother Jones: A podcast episode, “Why You Shouldn’t Buy the Election Narrative About Black Men” (October 2024), critically evaluated the notion that Black men were leaving the Democratic Party to support Trump, featuring interviews with Black conservatives and experts.
Reveal (a podcast from The Center for Investigative Reporting): An episode (October 2024) explored the enduring appeal of conservatism among some Black voters, featuring interviews with Black Trump supporters and experts.
Newsweek: An article titled “Donald Trump’s Success With Black Voters Might be a Myth After All” (October 19, 2024) questioned the notion of Trump’s strong support among Black voters, citing expert analysis and polling data.

I didn’t say this story was blaming black people. I pointed out the fact that liberals have generally been quick to blame black people for Trump’s success rather than his characteristically white base.

This election, like every other in American history, does not hinge on the black vote. It very clearly hinges on the white vote.

Conservatives don’t hide their racism, but there are exactly zero liberal cities that have achieved equality or any level of dignity for black Americans.

The election hasn’t happened yet and blacks are already being blamed for supporting Trump, despite their level of support being the lowest of any demographic.

Despite the blame game regarding blacks, more white women voted for Trump than men in 2016 and even more white women voted for Trump in 2020.

Conservatives and racism, name a hotter duo

A much hotter duo is simply white Americans and racism.
