So what exactly are people implying with all the Ukraine virtue signaling?

I was in a coffee shop the other day, and they had a sign thag read "We stand with Ukraine", and customers were encouraged to donate money that apparently goes to Ukraine (who knows where that money actually goes to), and Karen's in front of me felt real good about rounding up their dollars that supposedly goes to Ukraine.
But when you see "fill in the blank" business, or someone's home, or bumper sticker, or celebrity, etc. say "We stand with Ukraine". What are they implying "standing with Ukraine" means? That we should support endless tax dollars or worse artificially printed fiat dollars heading to Ukraine to further incite and prolong violence in this region, when that money could be spent protecting our own borders? Is this the implication, or is it just an empty virtue signal with no substance or meaning behind it?

Perhaps they are signaling that they see the long term benefit to America from a significantly weakened Russia, and they also get the bonus of helping an underdog that has been invaded by inhuman killers?

All of the above is bullshite. They do it to make themselves feel better and to make other think they are good people.

Akin to the patriots that fly the terrorist BLM flag? Those fine individuals?

"Donate to Ukraine" = "Donate to Hunter Biden"

That they are brain-dead and brainwashed sheep the will believe anything they are told by the DNC and their Komrade RINOs, who are looking to find any excuse to give trillions of government $$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$'s to their benefactors in the military industrial complex.

Just to make them feel good about themselves.
It doesn't actually mean anything. Other than businesses making a little extra money from people who stand with Ukraine.

99% of the people/companies have no idea why they support who they support......blind sheep listening to morons.

I honestly can’t tell if you believe half the shite you post here. Assuming this has to be sarcasm because nobody should actually believe any of what you posted….well played

Honest question.
You think the Dem elites stoking this war and pumping billions of our dollars into it are doing this for humanitarian or even geopolitical reasons? I bet you thought Bush was pure of heart in Iraq too.

They’re trying to feel morally correct because they’re brainwashed by the mainstream media.
It’s what they’ve been taught. And it’s sad.

I am not flying a blue/yellow flag, but I do support Ukraine in the conflict. What does that mean?
It does not mean that I think Ukraine was some idyllic utopia. Only that Ukraine did not deserve an invasion by its neighbor.
The US should argue Ukraine’s case diplomatically. The US should impose sanctions upon Russia as the aggressor. The US should sell Ukraine whatever weapons it needs and even provide intelligence.
It does not mean that US troops should fight in Ukraine.

Actually the Ukraine is one of major international hubs for human trafficking and sex slaves. The Ukrainian government and the American government are implicit in what is going on there. When I see a virtual signal about Ukraine, I read it as "I stand with child trafficking"

Ukjraine is killing Ukranians, support totalitarian WEF NWO, are the biggest propagandists since Goebbels
Russia has clearly been avoiding destruction of infrastructure.
The USA actions of the 2014 coup the Obama administration directed killed more Ukranians.
Great morning in the Evil Empire, from the most evil political party since Idi Amin and Pol Pot
Quit playing like your brainwashing is a legit choice to imply Americans should die to support the totalitarians
