If I was driving the bus I would just brake a little too late when arriving at that stop.

That's not very fair, the US also promised Ukraine protection if they'd removed their nukes in the 90s...

FYI

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine had the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. When Ukrainian-Russian negotiations on removing these weapons from Ukraine appeared to break down in September 1993, the U.S. government engaged in a trilateral process with Ukraine and Russia. The result was the Trilateral Statement, signed in January 1994, under which Ukraine agreed to transfer the nuclear warheads to Russia for elimination. In return, Ukraine received security assurances from the United States, Russia and Britain; compensation for the economic value of the highly-enriched uranium in the warheads (which could be blended down and converted into fuel for nuclear reactors); and assistance from the United States in dismantling the missiles, missile silos, bombers and nuclear infrastructure on its territory.

Trumps massive tax cuts for the rich from his first term are almost ending, he needs a lot of money to renew them.

Russia has started up a war economy, scaling up production of weapons, tanks, etc.

Putin probably waits untill Trump destroys NATO and is just taking his time to prepare.

The only reason Ukraine has been holding on for this long is because all the stuff they got from the US and EU. If that stops it's not going to last long.

Pete Hegseth already completely fucked Ukraine by saying they need to give up on joining NATO and just accept that Russia can keep all the occupied areas. It's like the Trump administration just wants to kiss Putin's ass.

I'm very happy I live in a country where all consumer prices must include taxes. It's so much better knowing what the real price is when you buy something.

The people saying oppression isn't always bad, what kind of examples or situations do they give? Pretty curious because I can't really think of any examples where oppression would be good.

You don't understand they guy is an absolute genius, he's on the factory floor every day, with a welding machine and soldering iron building all theses Tesla's. He also wrote all the software himself so we have full self driving cars since 2015, they never crash! I just took a robo taxi this morning, it was kind of big and there where other people in it, but I didn't have to drive or do anything, all thanks to Elon.
