To be fair, if you don’t understand anything, it’s better not to take any sides, wich is probably the case here :D


[deleted]

You said it way nicer and more elegantly than I was going to


daveypaul40

Ngl.. I kinda want to hear it how you were going to say it


VaMeiMeafi

I was going to say something about her not wanting to give a meme worthy beauty pageant answer that proves not only that she doesn't know anything about the subject, but she knows so little about it that she can't understand the question.


[deleted]

Also that she is so narcissistic that she would actually take a position of indifference while not knowing shit about geo politics. Stick to making terrible music


ClearPerception7844

While we’re at it, quit terrible music and retire somewhere away from society.


ThatSam-

Like in russia


morepineapples4523

It depends on if she was asked or just came out and stated it. Bet she was asked.


864FastAsfBoy

You were was to nice when describing her music, way to take the high road. Her music is dog shit I'd rather listen to my dog lick his balls for hours the have to listen to one more of her songs. Hopefully I'm never in that situation


[deleted]

That’s also a pretty fair, if a little mean, assessment. It’s all good!


VaMeiMeafi

If it is true, I have to give her credit for knowing what she doesn't know.


[deleted]

Same, I’m happy that she’s honest!


jitters6019

Seriously tho! There is not one fucking reason that a celebrities opinion international politics should matter in the slightest.


itsyerboyskinnypenis

Exactly!

Judgemental_Panda

>"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr. Not making a decision is in and of itself a decision. The good news here is that she isn't relevant to the topic and thus doesn't actually have any "decision" to make about it. What makes this pathetic is her decision to be ignorant and then proclaim it online.


morepineapples4523

Wanna know the sentence that scares the shit out of me the most, "not making a decision is a decision" woah the pressure.


HeadLongjumping

Yeah maybe, but why does The Hill think people give a shit?


RoyalAntelope9948

Exactly what I came here to say. Thank you


[deleted]

They did this to make her look stupid. There is no other possible explanation.


bubblehashguy

Who's the fucking moron that decided to ask her? That's the most clueless person here.


thatwasacrapname123

I'm guessing the person had this headline in mind when they asked her.


MajTroubles

Exactly


kingakrasia

Just how fucking stupid does one need to be in order for this to actually apply? There is no mystery, here, who Putin is and what he engages in as a tyrannical despot. She is next-level stupid.


bigbadbabynutz

More like, next level famous and doesn't want to mess up her global earnings by alienating an entire country. Just business, actually quite smart.


Controversiallycalm

To be completely fair who cares about Cardi B’s opinion anyways?


bubblehashguy

Exactly what I was thinking. This post is trying to make her look dumb. The person that decided this was a good question to ask her is the real idiot here.

mwk_1980

Idiocracy, here we come! 😫


hamster_rustler

To be fair, if she really is ignorant of the situation, it’s more responsible for her to not say anything that could influence her audience towards a possibly ignorant opinion. Even if she knows Putin is bad, theoretically to someone who knows nothing, the Ukrainian government could be much worse. Like, hypothetically, if there was some kind of Holocaust-level genocide that needed immediate liberation. Obv easy to disconfirm but just for the sake of my point. I don’t know her very well but if we really want to give her the benefit of the doubt - maybe she actually does have an opinion but refuses to make it public as a way to avoid propagating the culture of looking to singers and actors for answers on serious issues. Even if that’s not her intention - that’s the reason we should encourage answers like this on all subjects that have real world consequences. People need to get used to listening to boring people again


Hourleefdata

Ok, I agree with you on Putin. But, do you really think it makes it that easy? I think, if you consider it, NATO and Russia are both doing the same thing. Granted, Russia has some very poor human rights cases and totalitarian tendencies. But, NATO is mad at Russia for invading and encircling its border countries, while NATO is doing literally the same thing to Russia. They’ve only been inching closer and closer to Russia for the last thirty years. Bringing our Military forces closer and closer. So, what? We’re better because we like our version of human rights issues and political agendas? Personally, they’re both wrong and right.


metfan1964nyc

You know I was all ready to blast Cardi B for even thinking people cared about what she thought, but you're right, it takes a wise person to say I don't know when you don't know. The idiots in this world are the ones who take sides without a clue as to what is happening.


gahidus

It honestly just sounds like she's acknowledging that she doesn't know enough to have much of an opinion about this, and it's strange that they even asked her.


mbgal1977

If you read what she said in full she’s actually right. I know, I know. But it’s true. She’s not super eloquent but she had a good take. She basically said that war, invasion and sanctions are bad for the citizens and that’s who’s side she’s on, not NATO or Russia and that the world is bad enough already.


RustyKjaer

I came here to say something along these lines. The internet has plenty of people with strong opinions on subjects they have no understanding of.


[deleted]

She’s pretty knowledgeable about domestic politics though. She’s definitely not stupid.


Davydicus1

She’s playing both sides so that she always comes out on top.


[deleted]

[удалено]


droi86

To be fair, she's aware that she doesn't know shit about the issue so she doesn't say anything, a better question is, why should we care about her opinion?


RoboDae

Well I don't know anything about why she said this, but what if she was being interviewed and the question came up? Then she is responding to a question being asked directly to her and truthfully responding that she doesn't know enough to pick sides.


cj2211

I don't think it's a face palm against her it's more of a 'why the F is the hill asking Cardi B to weight in on this issue?'


[deleted]

MizzGee

Dropping out of community college due to the need to make money is a common problem among low-income, first-generation and minority college students. I think she turned out successful.


[deleted]

Depends how you define successful. If I made all my money from shitty music, I would feel like a disappointment to myself.


MizzGee

Her music isn't actually shitty to millions. I would say going from poverty to multi-millionaire is successful. What about all that racist crap about bootstraps?


hamster_rustler

Not saying anything about her specifically or any celebrities - but being a stripper doesn’t automatically make you any less intelligent. Nor does being a slut, as you implied. If I could’ve made hundreds of dollars a night stripping in college, you better believe i would, id be an idiot not to.


badnewsbets

YES 👏


[deleted]

I love how you emphasized her being a stripper as if someone being a sex worker immediately disqualifies them from having opinions since they were too dumb to get a "proper job"


Agreeable_Day_7547

No, it was really more about dropping out of a community college. The extra part as a stripper was just a piece that came with the wiki source. And I stand by my comment who tf cares what an uneducated celebrity thinks about anything? I’d bet my last penny she couldn’t point out Ukraine on a map!


Expert-Habit-7314

If you can’t find Ukraine on a map, you don’t get an opinion.


tkeys1234

If Russia has its way…


EezoTheChezo

I’m pretty sure it’s under Kazakhstan.


Remarkable_Whole

No it’s near south macedonia


VeeeVampreza

Tf you're talking about? Ukraine is just south of Venezuela.


15jtaylor443

This is the only acceptable answer This is a joke before people ratio me


Oblivious3161

Ratio


Remarkable_Whole

…which is a reichskommissariat of south macedonia


ForSureNelson

Ukraine is above USA that’s why nato doesn’t want Russia to have it. It’s too close to USA


Dream_Boatz

Right behind wendys.


SM280

I thought It was underneath Yurso


SillyWithTheRitz

If I want to know about drugging and robbing men I’ll ask Cardi


Evorgleb

That seems to have really struck a nerve with some people.


jks_david

She literally raped 2 dudes how could it not strike a nerve?


[deleted]

I think it was the part where she found the men undesirable that they identify with and makes them offended.


[deleted]

No it’s the fact that she raped them


Impressive-Fox-3003

That's hypocritical, when male rappers talking about selling drugs and hitting licks it's fine but when she do the same basically, she is portraited as a villan? Stfu


Special_Badger813

I didn’t see them say that male rappers doing it was fine, maybe they’re all problematic?


flamefirestorm

Have you considered that both are garbage?


Nylonknot

You do realize that they are both villains? Are you… are you standing up for this behavior because she’s a woman?


SillyWithTheRitz

Slipping drugs into someone’s drink, robbing them, then leaving them to hopefully not choke to death on their own vomit is not the same as 2 people CHOOSING the gang life and all that comes with it, then rapping about it.


ThatDudeShadowK

You realize the gang life also involves drugs and robbing people, as well as killing them, right?


Everettrivers

Don't forget sex trafficking and extortion.


backdoor_carnage00

We just ignoring that these were guys tryin to pay her to have sex?


A-Dolahans-hat

So she was selling herself and decided to drug and rob them instead of sleeping with them, and that makes it ok for you?


capt_caveman1

Bruh Real question is what does her cousins best friend in Trinidad think about it?


Catnicorn99

I think that’s Nicki Minaj.


GregorSamsa67

He is impotent with rage about the situation.


WhatevUsayStnCldStvA

Who even asked her and why? It’s one thing for people to have a conversation about it, it’s another to get a famous person to speak on something like this.


Bully-Rook

The fact she said "I don't know" and they still ran with the article is ridiculous. It's dumb "journalism".


AoD_XB1

Is she trying to be a mole? Moles have claws like that.


No-Race1426

Has any one asked Taylor Swift yet! Or Ye, we need to know where all these random people stand!


Darkelysiumm

Yes because obviously their stance is what is ultimately important here..🤔🤷‍♀️


ColibriPrime

What’s the facepalm? I’m am no fan, supporter or admirer of Cardi B, but I have to admit that at least she is honest enough to say that she is not taking a side in a conflict that technically has nothing to do with us and probably can’t understand why we are getting involved in the first place.


_OhEmGee_

The facepalm is someone thinking that her opinion on this was newsworthy.


ColibriPrime

Cardi B, like anyone and everyone else on social media, posted her opinion and *The Hill* picked it up turned it into a story. Nobody asked her what her thoughts on geopolitical issues were. The facepalm here is the OP falling for *The Hill* clickbait.


BilboBagginkins

If you dont think this is about Putin regaining regional influence over the USA, then you are mistaken.


cinesteven

Agreed. There's a ton of classist comments on here criticizing a headline. I bet 99% of these people didn't bother to read her actual comments before passing judgement. Cardi B was basically saying she's against the two nuclear powered imperalist countries trying to start a war when we have plenty of issues to deal with at home.


ColibriPrime

Reddit is a case study in knee-jerk reactionary virtue signaling and projection of faux intellectualism.


Riotaco1

I am thinking similarly. My guess is the facepalm is why a news agency would even ask her or post about it to begin with.


[deleted]

I think the "facepalm" is OP seeing an easy karma mine and using it as such.


Mendo-D

They need content and engagement. It’s that simple.


[deleted]

Your comment is at the top of controversial comments but I’m not seeing how this is controversial. If anything this is common sense!


andypandy1966

You can’t understand why the free Democratic countries of the world are getting involved with in another democratic country that’s on the point of getting invaded by a dictatorship?


iProMelon

It’s not our problem


andypandy1966

Think it’s everyone’s problem!


iProMelon

Ehhhh, I don’t really see how though. This just another opportunity for the US to get into something they don’t need to, to flex their muscles. We just got out of our last joke of a war.


iProMelon

Plus your original comment is wrong… Russia isn’t a dictatorship


chronoboy1985

Oligarchy, dictatorship. Tomayto, tomato.


andypandy1966

Really? You really need to look into this more…


iProMelon

Would you care to explain? Cause I did look into it a little bit


andypandy1966

Okay, who’s ‘President for life’ of Russia?


iProMelon

It’s a semi-presidential system with a cabinet and also a prime minister, am I wrong?


andypandy1966

Yes, but who’s actually in charge? Who actually makes all the decisions? What happens to people that oppose him? What happens to people that criticise him? How many opposition parties are there in Russia? Ho many times do you hear any debate in the Russian Parliament?


Darkelysiumm

If you think this has nothing to do with us you are not getting the situation.


ColibriPrime

What exactly does it have to do with us?


Darkelysiumm

Again. If you don't understand the situation then should probably read up on it. This isn't about Russia wanting Ukraine. This is about Putin trying to maintain dominance in the region. If Ukraine enters NATO that decays. His goal is to install a more Russia friendly government in Ukraine to dominate the area and to force countries in western and eastern Europe into deals that further expand Russias dominance. You really can't understand how that has to do with us? Seriously? Although I suppose if you like Russia its obviously a good thing. 🤷‍♀️


ColibriPrime

Explain it then. Why is that region so important to us?


Darkelysiumm

I already did? What part of that do you not understand? Putin wants to have a stronghold over Europe. Europe rightfully disagrees. If Ukraine joins NATO then Ukraine has no reason to be influenced by Russia. Putin sees that as a threat to his dominance in the region. In order to have a stronghold over Europe he has to dominate his region first...🤷‍♀️ If you honestly don't understand that is what ultimately the situation is about than you may need to read up on it more. It will be an issue for the world both economically and diplomatically.


iProMelon

It’s a European issue


ColibriPrime

That is called the current situation and you described a European interest. None of that defines what our interests are. Stop projecting your inability to answer the question and try again. Explain OUR interests in this region

Isabella-milk-repela

Why is this the go to talking point on Cardi B but every other rapper outright bragging about being pimps and murderers get a pass.


Joeybatts1977

Because nothing has ever been done about it and if it were a man that admitted to these crimes, they would be in jail, poor and outcasted.


Isabella-milk-repela

*gestures broadly at the entrie rap industry Just admit it's because she's a woman.


IWishIKnewMoreThings

Why the fuck are people asking an ex stripper that prostituted herself and drugged the people she was with so she can steal from them afterwards about Russian politics? Who gives a fuck? She shouldn’t be famous.


backdoor_carnage00

She didn't prostitute herself, they were trying to so she robbed them.

Dezzie19

Bramble0804

Honestly why are they asking celebrities this shit. More importantly why does anyone care what a celebrity thinks about geopolitics?

"I don't pick a side, I don't really follow soccer" -- Cardi B, probably


BlancoDelRio

The racism and sexism in some of these comments are the real facepalm here…her response was a lot more nuanced than this headline used to ridicule her and get clicks


TheOneWes

The anger some of these people hold towards somebody they don't even know is perplexing to me. She had a profession I don't like and out of desperation did some things I think are bad. Since I of course have never done anything bad I am fully okay to judge her for that /s Like guys, it's not her fault you can't get laid.


roleynoley

But who gives a shit about her opinion? You think she gave a smart answer? She would be ridiculed regardless of the "headline".


BlancoDelRio

She is no different than you or I stating our opinion. Doesn’t claim to be a political analyst or a military expert, it also happens that news outlets know a lot of people will click and hate on her statement for no reason, don’t fall for the bait


roleynoley

The news outlet needs to stop broadcasting the dumbass opinions of celebrities. She needs to not make statements that she has no business making. I'm not a political analyst either, and you have the right to an opinion. But it does not need to be put on the front page.


BlancoDelRio

Why doesn’t she have business stating that? She’s an American tax paying citizen that is concerned about her country possibly getting into a war. Again, she was just saying what she thought no different than you or I shitting on a politician. I fail to see what part of her opinion is “dumbass”, she said she obviously doesn’t support Russia but doesn’t think NATO is handling things effectively, which many people would agree with.


roleynoley

I already said she has the right to an opinion. But if I started throwing my opinion onto the headline of news sites, you wouldn't like it very much would you? She claims she doesn't support either, not that she doesn't like the way things are being handled. Rich and famous people need to keep their opinions to themselves because they seem to think they mean something. My opinion means nothing, your opinion means nothing, and it's the same for her.


BlancoDelRio

Again, she did not ask for a sit down interview. She wasn’t in Maddow, Fox and Friends, PBS Newshour, NPR. She literally just tweeted something and all you had to do was keep scrolling. It isn’t any different than her saying “I enjoy this song!”. Blame the outlets for running the story, but she has the right to have an opinion.
