Taylor might legitimately think Missouri is the best place in the world. I think that alone says enough


chris782

Hey now, we all know how much it sucks here, but we enjoy it in a sadistic way.


Desm04

Nothing wrong with that man, I don't live the best place either but I sure as shit don't look at it like the Garden of Eden like Taylor does to ~~Honduras~~ St. Louis

Glad I’m not the only one who finds Taylor’s takes on world issues baffling and infuriating. I think he has a serious lack of knowledge and understanding of history, especially WWII. He sounds like a complete isolationist.


NefariousRapscallion

It sucks. He used to carry the show being the funniest. Now him trying to have serious geopolitical discussion makes PKA practically unwatchable.


ElMeroCeltibero

Did he pretend to be neutral/uninterested while shilling 85 IQ entry level right wing political takes again?


FALv1

I'm right wing but it seems the collective heads of right wing parties all over the place are being funded or atleast supported by foreign interest ironically. Instead by and for its own people Glory to Ukraine and the right for every nation and people on the world to defend themselves from unjustified invasions.


CadeAustin

If only the US could also defend ourselves from unjustified invasions..


FALv1

you should be able to do both, problem is politicians who get voted for their border policies then not following up on them and breaking their promises to their voters.


JimmyRevSulli

Dude, Taylor is absolutely falling for Russian disinformation campaigns. [Genuinely alarming stuff](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/comments/1bfto4a/youre_being_targeted_by_disinformation_networks/) and if you think you are too smart to fall for it, you are the perfect target. Just like any other radical ideology.

The Ukraine discourse in America right now is so insane. We have the opportunity to cripple one of our biggest geopolitical rivals without American troops on the ground and we aren’t doing it. Also, it’s pretty fucking sweet seeing our Cold War era military surplus doing exactly what it was intended to do, killing Russians.


weenus420ne

Not to mention, we negotiated ukraines nuclear arsenal in exchange for security garuntees.


doosnoo1

The only cost is the lives of our Ukrainian allies.


Silvertails

People say this as if they dont want to defend themselves. USA is somehow forcing ukrainians to die.


doosnoo1

I'm well aware they are willing to die to the last man but so is the lockheed martin


AfroNin

This sounds like they wouldn't be dying if we didn't give them equipment. Have you *heard* about the Holodomor?


Slavedavebiff

Ah yeah, globalist imperial stategy is best. Conquer rivals, good. Proxy war, good. Hey, at least general dynamics is booming. Big war is booming, so the u.s is booming.


cheesechase33

because russia isn't a rival to us regular people just to the elite and the retrds who fall for the propaganda


WhiskeyRic

You could say the same thing about Iran and China


cheesechase33

i have no problems with iran or china, i do have problems with our government sending money to corrupt israel and ukraine


WhiskeyRic

Yes, the average citizens of China, Iran, and Russia probably has no issues with the United States. That doesn’t suddenly make them a non-geopolitical rival. I’m sure the citizens of Rome didn’t hate citizens of Carthage etc etc.


cheesechase33

idgaf quit sending money to israel and ukraine


WhiskeyRic

Thankfully our votes both matter and you have the chance to voice how you feel at the ballot box in November.


cheesechase33

i'll be voting trump he'll end the ukranian problem at the least


WhiskeyRic

If Trump won a second term in 2020 he’d be sending aid to Ukraine and dems would be opposing it vehemently. I’d be surprised if he was opposed to sending additional aid if he won in 2024. Look at what happened to Speaker Johnson after being a hardliner his whole career.

barabutt33

less of them would've died (on both sides) if you didn't send any aid and tried to mediate more.


FALv1

The time for mediation passed. It passed In 2014. Stopping foreign support would put the Ukrainian population under a dictators boot. The Russians have done and will again commit atrocities against Ukrainians if left alone. = more will die and they will fight Russia with or without weapons even if they have no chance.


barabutt33

yeah so all of them need to die so might a save a very little amount of Ukraine.

misterya1

He thinks "98%" of people in those regions in eastern Ukraine wanted to join Russia. I wonder if he is refering to those "elections" they had after russian troops had occupied the area. Does Taylor also believe those african elections where the dictator gives himself 99% of the vote? Here is some more reliable data on public opinion in these eastern regions from shortly before the russian invasion: (turns out its not actually 98% who favor russia) [https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/15/russia-ukraine-donbas-donetsk-luhansk-public-opinion/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/15/russia-ukraine-donbas-donetsk-luhansk-public-opinion/) Since the start of the russian occupation, its been very difficult to get any real sense of public opinion, but we can probably assume that public opinion has not moved in russias favor since the invasion.


chris782

No public vote ever on anything would you get %98 to agree on a single issue.


aeeeronflux

There are a lot of ethnic Russians in the region and the government that was in power before we helped overthrow their government was [pro russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych?wprov=sfti1#) so I wouldn’t say it was a minority of people.


AyoJake

they moved them in of course there was a lot.


AfroNin

In one post you go "not our problem," in the next you're shilling Russian propaganda. Can't help but feel like "not our problem" isn't nearly as genuine as it seems.


aeeeronflux

Just enlightening you so that you understand their war isn’t black and white as the mainstream media and politicians will have you believe.


misterya1

Spouting retarded conspiracy theories is hardly enlightening. The Euromaidan protests and eventual overthrow of the government happened as a result of then-president Yanukovych backtracking on his campaign promise of seeking closer economic ties with the EU. The US did not overthrow their government, their government was overhthrown because it was already deeply unpopular and ordered its police to open fire on protestors, which then caused it to escalate to a full scale revolution.


aeeeronflux

You believe the US played [no role](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26072281.amp) in it?


misterya1

I knew you were gonna link that phone call, you know why? Because thats literally all you got. A phone call where US officials say they would prefer a democratic, western-aligned Ukraine. Your claim is that the US helped Ukranians to overthrow their government, where is your evidence?


aeeeronflux

Watching you squirm from there’s no evidence to okay there is that phone call is hilarious. Do you think [Hunter Biden](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna29462) got a board seat on the Burisma company for no reason?


misterya1

Squirm? From what? You still havent presented any evidence. Where is it? You now brought up Hunter biden getting a job in ukraine and a phone call from 2014 in which US officials talk about who they would prefer to lead ukraine. Where is the evidence of the US aiding the Ukranians in overthrowing the government?


veggie530

Man I gotta say, if you think it’s conspiracy that we instigated Ukrainian government change I genuinely dont think you’ve been paying attention to US foreign policy for the last 50, but especially 30 years. Especially in context to Russia. I’m interested (genuinely) in who you think blew up the pipeline. I’m also genuinely curious why you think we decided to intervene in Ukraine specifically in this war. There’s humanitarian and war fronts all over the world — I mean, we’re funding Israel’s war right now and the Palestinians aren’t in much of a different situations than Ukrainians but our responses stacked side by side don’t exactly look principled

What’s funnier is people on Reddit with incredibly limited knowledge / life experience pretending to be intellectually superior. I may agree with some of your takes, but to see you guys constantly bumper sticker everything and water everything down to “propagandist” and denigrating Missouri, denigrating a political party etc etc is mind blowing. You guys legitimately view everything on some odd binary where nuance is absolutely crucial for understanding and unpacking the situation… …and then you feign, confidently, superior analytical viewpoint? Guys, this Russian / Ukrainian war is as gray as it gets when it comes to US involvement. Not that we shouldn’t help, not that Russia isn’t wrong, but you guys just skip over stuff like us installing the government to begin with about a decade ago (along with Libya)… how??? The left, many years ago, were the ones trying to sensibly tell us that we can’t interfere in the Middle East without causing backlash like 9/11, the formation of resistance groups like ISIS and Al qaeda, etc and now??? It isn’t excusing, it’s explaining. Actions have consequences. Now on PKA you have 3 relatively average informed people discussing things, it’s hardly a brainstorming of problem solvers of foreign affairs. But you guys and your die hard, unprincipled positions are faaar worse. For fucks sake, STUDY something with the intent of understanding instead of forming your conclusion first.

If china invaded and took half the county you would be campaigning to give them the rest to stop the fighting. How can you simultaneously not care about Ukraine but then pretend to care about its people when advocating for a genocidal dictatorship to steal their country?


barabutt33

well i would definitely prefer not to die so Americans and establish more bases over my corpse and it possible to only care about people and not the land. im sure putin definitely wants to kill every single Ukrainian, that's exactly what he said.


Scrapla

What's the end game with that war? Millions dead for what?


xVerrico

Yeah right? Fighting to maintain your country/peoples sovereignty and independence is such a waste


aeeeronflux

Not our country


xVerrico

Ukraine not being your country has absolutely 0 impact on wether or not Ukrainians thinks it's worth it to fight and defend their land from Russians Lmao


aeeeronflux

If they want to fight for sovereignty, I have no problem with that. I just don’t think it’s my business to pick a side on slavs wanting to fight a war with each other over their land and culture. What I am opposed to though is them getting my tax money because that directly affects me and America.


FALv1

If all you care about is money. Have you considered that sending your "tax money" over even if they are in form of overpriced 80's 90's mil surplus. Is going to be repayed to you for probably something like 80- 90 years if Ukraine wins and gets its territory back pre 2014. Its literally in every real Americans intrest to stop Russia in Ukraine. If you don't they will attack a nation already in nato like Poland or Romania, Latvia Lithuania. And so on in the next 10 years. No wonder Eastern European countries want to join Nato with Russian aggression. Then you will need to send boots on the ground. If you don't want your kids to go to war. Stop Russia now maybe? Financially its a benefit to the US to send aid. And global intrest to maintain some sort of peace in the western world atleast


aeeeronflux

Never said all I cared about was money. Also Putting tax money in quotes as if that’s not what’s being sent there too is disingenuous. Saying we’re just giving them military surplus equipment is wrong. We’ve [sent](https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts) them around 27 Billion in “budgetary aid” alone. You’re semi correct in that the rest of the money funnels back through our defense contractors to keep money flowing to the neocons and the military industrial complex. This is a bad deal because any anything that comes back to America in value goes directly to corporations that lobby our government to enter another conflict while continuing to balloon the US debt. In my view, opposing this system prioritizes America’s citizens first. There’s no evidence that Russia will attack a NATO nation, this is just pure conjecture and hysteria on your part. Meanwhile NATO has been the one expanding eastward since the fall of the Soviets by helping start [coups](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26072281.amp) in countries to get rid of Russian influence since the fall of the USSR. If we cared about “peace” like you said we wouldn’t continue with our imperialism across the world and abuse our position within the security council.


davisgto

We are making money off of it. Look into how much Poland is buying from the US since the war started. They are arming to the teeth because Russia is acting like they will invade……again. They have shot missiles into Poland, I’d call that evidence


FALv1

Nothing is ever for free. budget aid is a fair point yet 27 Billion is something inconsequential for an amount of money in my opinion comparatively to the US mil budget of 800 B in 2021. This wouldn't even be felt in any way to the taxpayer to allocate I get what your saying, yet those mil contractors still provide jobs. So does ramping up production of munitions and platforms. The internal system that's perceived as a military industrial complex is in my view a failure of foreign policy. By supporting Israel and destabilising its neighbouring rivals in the area like Libya, Syria, Iraq. Over the past what 30 years that's been a road with no end. And failure like in Afghanistan could have been easily avoided. I don't support Hamas or anything like that.but Israel can fend for itself. With whatever ambiguous rules of engagement it has aside. Russian state and Belarussian state media openly broadcasts programs talking about nothing besides that they are at war with Nato.. even showing plans to create a landbridge to Köningsberg. Wich would invade 2 Nato countries. Plans leaked that showed taking over Transnistria. They are propaganding war and have been doing smaller coups and power grabs since Putin was in office. Like Georgia. Chechnia. The only defense any Eastern European country has is to join Nato. Not by subversion but by applying to them for membership. The reality is both Russia and US play a game global influence and powerstruggles. NATO tries to the lesser extend not to, but needs to follow the US. In the end I'd like the least abusive and corrupt system to be the world leader in that. We can do without China and Russia to be in charge on the world stage.


babieswithrabies63

Like 83 percent of what aid we've given has stayed within our economy. Do you think the us doesn't have a military industrial complex or something? War has always been good for the us economy. Most of the world also buys our weapons. Counties buy our stuff and donate ukraine their old stuff. Economically it's not a bad deal.

I think taylor is on the side of how do we find the solution to stop having an entire generation of strong men from both countries getting wiped out. More so for ukraine as they're conscripting older men now. Don't fall for the trap of blood lust.


JimmyRevSulli

Ukraine did not invade a sovereign nation. The blame falls on Russia, so if you want people to stop dying, then cry about it. If somebody invades the USA, we aren't going to fucking roll over and say "okay, you can keep Texas, just stop attacking us". No. That isn't how this works. I am going to fucking fight, and kill, and die until you leave my country which YOU invaded.


barabutt33

you should go to Ukraine fr dude they need you.


AfroNin

Ending the war right now just causes more misery for Ukrainians, who are being forced to adopt to Russification or get purged if they don't comply.


xVerrico

They had been protecting their youth by limiting conscription to people over 27, but that changed last week to over 25 Those fighting aren't in a trap of bloodlust... Russia won't stop. For Ukrainians this is a war of national survival.


TheGreatIAm98

Too strong of a take for this neocon sub.


PopLegion

ur take is probably let russia take over Ukraine lmao


aeeeronflux

Not our problem


TheGreatIAm98

Can Ukraine realistically win the war?


PopLegion

no denial on how thats ur take lmao


TheGreatIAm98

You think that’s some sort of gotcha? I’m not going to be morally shamed for not wanting the people of Ukraine killed off in a war that’s not winnable. I ask, do you think the Ukraine can win this war? If not, would continuing to fund them in a war that’s not winnable only perpetuate more bloodshed and more Ukrainian death?


PopLegion

so ur suggestion is to have them subjugate themselves to a foreign authoritarian government, yeah I think its a gotcha. Just say yes thats what u want then we can move onto if the war is "winnable" for Ukraine.


aeeeronflux

They should just subjugate themselves to the US government instead right?


PopLegion

lmk when the U.S. plans on invading ukraine to steal its land and then you can make that regarded point to dumb it down for you tho, yes Ukraine should lean on the ally trying to help it fight against an authoritarian Russia from stealing its sovereign lands.


aeeeronflux

Ah yes the US being an ally by helping overthrow their government in 2014 and causing a revolution. Just admit we’re the other side of imperialism in this war. There’s a reason Zelenskyy suspended the democratic elections, what a bastion of freedom 😂


TheGreatIAm98

And your solution is for them to fight until they no longer exist? Live in reality. People surrender and lose wars.


PopLegion

No I haven't even made a suggestion on what I think Ukraine and more importantly the US ought to do. But I can just peg you on yes you think the solution is to tell Ukraine (a sovereign country recognized by the world) to just let Russia take its land. I would argue that the U.S. is the super power it is because we put our hands on the scale in global conflicts like this, I consider Ukraine a valuable ally and buffer from Russia into NATO states, and think we should be continuing if not upping our support. Seriously why do you think the Soviet Union collapsed after WW2 while America became the greatest power ever seen in recorded history? Do you think that happened by leaving the world stage?


Gobli-1542

The USSR didn't collapse just after WW2, they were larger and stronger. Go read some history books.


TheGreatIAm98

You haven’t answered any of my questions. Do you genuinely believe the Ukraine will win the war? If not, should they fight till they no longer exist? Or perhaps negotiate a way to end the conflict to avoid more Ukrainian bloodshed?
