      Who? I’ve literally never heard of this person prior to now. And I’d like to think I stay fairly up-to-date on US politics.

      So yeah, I’m going to go with probably not.

        He’s pretty well known among the folks that are big on social justice and environmental issues. I would argue that he’s the biggest name to be on the Green ticket since Nader.

        And he doesn’t have to be know by everyone to fuck over Biden. This is going to be a close race. Spoiling a race means that it could come down to a few more votes than normal for the Greens.

        Edit: he’s running as an independent now.

            To be fair, he’s against the US providing international military aid and funding across the board, not just Ukraine.

              “NATO is an expanding instrument of U.S. global power that provoked Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine,”

              He said NATO provoked Russia into it, in effect blaming NATO for Russia’s actions and saying “look what NATO made Russia do”.

                  It’s criminal and imperialist. Russia was mad that their former colony wanted to have closer relations to the West and join NATO. So, they invaded and seized Crimea.

                  When that wasn’t enough, and shockingly didn’t make Ukraine want to get closer to Russia, Russia invaded the rest of Ukraine.

                  West does not seem to understand that NATO is a voluntary organization that requires applications to get in, nor that the core of this war is Russia trying to exercise imperialism.

                  So, it begs the question, why doesn’t West want the US to aid a country in protecting its sovereignty against an imperialist power? If he’s ideologically consistent, that means he wouldn’t want to help Palestinians obtain freedom from Israel either.

                    what makes you think that?
