    That shit is basically Putin’s Russia with extra steps.

    Ignore the fact that 2 wartime economies are using the poor Ukrainians as bait while sending pennies on the dollar compared to what they send Israel

      Way to miss the point that American “democracy” is stage managed and hence why american leaders, quite independently of the party they hail from, are way more dictatorial than they would be if the vote was a true choice.

      Whatever his reasons for supporting the Israeli Genocide, doing if for the good of at least a large portion of Americans ain’t why Joe Biden is doing it, as even amongst the Jewish-American community - which is but a small fraction of the electorate - there are plenty of voice against the Israeli Genocide and for the rest, what exactly is there to gain for the average American in their country becoming associated with what is well on its way to becoming the XXI Century Holocaust?!

      Unsurprisingly the copium amongst many in the US about Biden not giving a rat’s arse about most of those who vote for him, is painfully similar to how Russians tell themselves that at least Putin is not as bad as things could’ve been.

      Mind you, it’s a lot easier from outside the US and without having grown up with a set of political blinders, to spot the Stockholm Syndrome affecting most of the US electorate.
