    OK Zelensky, we will give you $325M more. It’s no like your conflict at 5000miles away touches us directly.

      Whataboutism at it’s finest. Your nation spends hundred of billions of dollars in military spending and you get to look at 300M~ sent to a nation that is fighting tooth and nails to defend itself against an aggressor.

      Do you think that 300M~ could really make a difference if used to do a salary reform toward teachers? In 2018 US teachers were 3,652,000. Those 300M~ would add 89$ a year to each teacher salary. This instead of helping people who are fighting and dying under the fire of missiles to keep their freedom (isn’t it a value dear to you fellow Americans?) beign taken away from an authoritarian state.

      I invite you to reflect more deeply before making these populist comments. People are dying and are appealing to the values you marketed for years. They are literally imploring the help of the west, because they know what being oppressed feels like.

      If you want to help teachers, go vote for people who promote a better welfare and social system that can benefit people doing a public service. You can help your people and make the world a better place at the same time my dude

        I swear… “whataboutism” is the new “conspiracy theory” or “bigot”. Can’t you just fucking think by yourself, parrot?!

        I feel a bit sorry you have written so much text, I didn’t pass the word and therefore didn’t read your argument.
