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!

Soooo... how's the "Unprovoked Wars Since WW2" awards looking this year? Is Russia still about a hundred wars behind the US or is it starting to catch up?
Your random whataboitism looks even more pathetic in a thread about how it's bad and wrong to start wars even if you say the word geopolitics a lot, and how US bad actually for doing that. Don't get me wrong, that is always pathetic, it's just more pathetic now
Just to be clear... which "whataboutism" are you referring to here?
This one?
This one, maybe?
Or this one, perhaps?
You wanna go through the whole list so that you see how many of these "whataboutisms" you have to try and debunk (somehow)?
I am beginning to think I am not speaking to a person, those levels of lack of reading comprehension are very hard to achieve for a human of flesh and blood.
Oh goody! Another self-professed expert!
I'd really like to feel more comfortable about this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, aaaaaand this.
Mind whitesplaining all of this away for me, too?
That's what I thought. Do you trigger automatically on any comment, or is it more of a manual process?
Will the whitesplaining take you long?
Hmm, doesn't look like a manual response to me, totally context independent. I wonder if it is locked to a topic or could it be derailed. Let's start with simple words. Israel Palestine IDF Hamas.
What? You can't?
Damn it, that's no fun, we seem to stuck in a loop
No whitesplaining the evil empire from you today, I take it.
Perhaps your expertise in the subject matter at hand was feigned?
Color me surprised.
