Court packing is a dangerous precedent to set. The second we start increasing the limits then there's little stopping political parties to continue increasing the size of the supreme court to suit their current political agenda.

While I appreciate the progress we've made in diminishing Russia's warfare capabilities through this proxy war,, I believe it's time for us to take a step back and allow other countries to assume responsibility for the financial burden.
Considering the significance of this conflict, the remaining nations in the free world should be willing to provide ongoing support. It's not sustainable for our country to continuously fund every European conflict. I'd prrefer we avoid becoming a quasi-imperialist state where we exert control over the rest of the world, and instead empower our allies to take on greater autonomy and responsibility.
This shouldn't really be a controversial take, but positions like this usually just get downed down under all the low effort "dumb republican" or "dumb liberal" comments. I really hope as a platform we don't turn into the same toxic place as r/politics and actually take an iota of time to better understand opposing viewpoints before reading some super biased headline and start generalizing.
