I don’t really understand why maga are so pro-russia. I get that Trump&Putin are best buddies, but i would expect that republicans would love to pour billions in the military industrial complex. I assumed that the military lobby had have more power than the private interests of a single corrupted person

I’m actually surprised he’s pro-Ukraine, given how much of a right-wing scumbag he is (Trump supporter and all)

NATO/Russia 3rd world war, still reasonably limited to just two countries, for time being.

There’s a simple answer:
Which is why I continue to whinge about war, regardless of the topic. The military-industrial complex is a scourge on our society. Unfortunately, the appearance of a" justified" war doesn’t change that fact, even if we want Ukraine to win.

Yeah, but it’s still surprising. Most Trump diehards are pro-Russian. I almost have to respect Luckey for being driven by money above all else; at least this makes him a known quantity.
As for your other comment, I can’t even begin to imagine how that stands up logically. Russia could steamroll whoever they want if we weren’t armed.
