Can you still use that as saber rattling when your favorite guy is a Putin bootlicker?
God. If my grandparents saw what being a republican would become in thirty short years I don’t know if they’d be able to take it. Reagan republicans would probably shoot the lot of them.
There seems to be no level of hypocrisy to which they will not rise and claim excuses and conspiratorial reasons for. I have heard from those sorts, among other things that "Putin is a great capitalist".
I heard the term 'commie pinko sympathizers' a number of times (not at home, in media and public) as a child and only a couple of them were being ironic.
Both Sweden and Finland joined NATO with the goal of increasing army spending and reducing it on the social programs.
Better to give money to USA to buy one F22 and to complain about darkies being criminals, than to put money to education so that criminality isn't the only route out of poverty right? /s
And of course in Sweden the schools where the residents are poor get less money, aren't as good, and it's much more difficult for their students to be accepted into a university.
What? There's generally an adjustment to the funding for schools in Sweden depending on socio-economic factors, so if anything schools where more residents are poor get more money.
