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!

A destabilized EU, and that's a guarantee there, would economically impact the entire world in ways that U.S.A exceptionalists can not ever seem to grasp.
Lol, just be quiet troll. It's easy looking at your post history that you have an agenda that is aligned with the opposition of America.
A degraded russian military is good for pretty much everyone.
And by the way you talk you probably don't give a shit about socialised healthcare. It's just a stick you can use to hit people with.
Not an American.
You have some pretty dumb ideas about foreign policy.
The fact that you used healthcare as an example is a conservative dogwhistle, and a rather ineffective one at that.
Isolationism is something your country cannot go back to. That idea was rightly killed over a century ago, as if it was ever actually fully realised.
I thought your country at least paid lip service to freedom and democracy worldwide, how is letting Russia invade and annex another country good for you?
It's not hard to tell that you aren't someone who actually understands the topic, or is acting in good faith here.
Well, Ukraine formally asked for aid at the beginning of Russia's "special military operation". Soooooo.....
The US hasn't sold a single thing to Ukraine, but has been donating their old stock.
How is helping Ukraine not a good thing? Doesn't that increase security by having another friendly nation on your side?
Your arguments are rather weak. Seriously, how does allowing Russia have its way benefit anyone but Russia?
Wow, it's almost like the US could do all of that at the same time.....
Allies aren't cheap to earn, and if you want to not be the world police you need a lot of them.
Or do you think that the countries that are opposed to the US would just not do anything if you sat on your hands? Or their Allies come to their aid when they needed it?
