re: To all the Ukraine/Russia experts on the board

How would Iran bombing Israel affect me and why should we defend Israel from Iran?

How would North Korea fighting South Korea affect me and why should we defend them?

How would Russia attacking the Baltics, Romania, Poland, etc, affect me and why should we defend them?

My point is, if you believe we are obligated to defend any of these countries, and stay committed to our alliances, then backing Ukraine against Russia is very important in maintaining that status quo. I’m sure you believe we should support and defend Israel, even though the only true basis for that for most people, especially conservatives is that the Bible says so. So why shouldn’t we back Ukraine against Russian aggression? Why is this the one foreign issue MAGA extremes are against us supporting? It doesn’t make sense to me because I know you and most complaining against backing Ukraine, back all these other military alliances we’re in. It’s well known that Moscow is always trying to undermine the United States system since 1945. How can that not be seen as that and how can we not take that seriously?

It’s a small minded view and shows a lack of awareness, to say “Oh it doesn’t really affect me, so why should we bother?”
