This is an extremely “Cake day: December 26th, 2023” question 🙄

If Putin invaded hell, I'd sympathize with the Devil.

Bad troll is bad. Try harder tankie piece of shit.

For me it is not about supporting/agreeing with Ukraine. It is about Russia starting a war because they want to. I live a country close to the war, I don't want Russian occupation or proximity.

Russia bad, of course

Because they have been told to support Ukraine

This is good advertising for their weapon systems and now the Polish for example buy lots of them after they've seen them being effective in Ukraine. Other countries, too. And even Ukraine will buy matching munition etc... I think it's a really effective way to advertise and then make money.

Also the US will eventually need to deal with Putin, China etc as that affects them, too. And letting the Ukrainians do it is a comparatively good and cheap way. And no US soldier will have to die.

Another benefit: Clearing out the stockpiles of old weapons, giving them away and then getting new and yet more modern ones for the own military.

So I only see pro arguments for the US. It's a good investment and there is benefit on more than one level. My question would be: Why not do it?

The news says they're the good guys and most people don't look too closely at the patches they wear, or even necessarily know what they're looking at when they do.

Not many people have the time, energy, or patience to keep up with all the in's and out's of geopolitical history.

So its pretty easy to frame it as "Big bad Russia bad man Putin invade smol bean Ukraine!"

Liberal partisanship

Most Americans don't support Ukraine or Russia, we're very self-absorbed and very much believe America rules all other countries. We do believe in military support for the Ukrainian army, however, especially where Russia is the aggressor. And thanks for the invite to suck a dick, we'll be there!!
