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!

Since when is putting real bullets in real bodies larping? You're going to be in for a rude awakening if shit gets real in your neck of the woods, while you're convincing yourself it's pretend others will be playing for keeps.
because war is horseshit and horrible. ukraine citizens can fight. until the US formally commits troops, US people volunteering are just fucking larping.
People choosing to fight for Ukraine are anything but larpers. They US is already allied with russia and theyve still chosen to fight for Ukraine.
And the Ukrainians won't accept volunteers who don't know how to take care of themselves.
right. thats my point. they are fighting for the good guys here but the US could by all “rights” rug pull and make it illegal to volunteer to another nations army. if it isnt already??
Legionnaires don't care what a coward thinks. Go crack open a history book.
i reckon so. but those who volunteer to do war are just … doing profit making for capitalists anyway.
Just hope you're never in a situation where you have to make an existential choice of either letting yourself be killed or fighting. The profits of greedheads won't be a consideration at that point.
Ah I misunderstood you then. Yeah the us could do that but it would be a weird stance to take. They already discourage it and its legal to join a war from american soil. But as long as the Americans are going to another country and joining a war on behalf of another country they dont care.
