The critical thinking that leads to “yeah I support Russia” is pretty fricked.
Or, you support neither and understand Ukraine is a corrupt, vassal state of the US and Russia, well, is Russia. They want their pre-Bolshevik empire back. Stamp your form, sonny, because I don't give a shite about any of it.

Listen even if both are true, Russia invaded the Ukraine.

None of Ukraine’s problems are improved by this. Soldiers in both sides are dying Civilians are dying, and 1 side decided to this.

I am not particularly sure where exactly in the "East" you are referring to, but if people are dying because of this war I am not sure why you would think I wouldnt have empathy for them.

Again you do not need to support our Govt. involvement or Russian involvement in this war, to try to help Ukrainian citizens through either prayers or private donations.

I can't get over the people on this board who claim they were "raised right" or other people need to raise their kids correctly yet mock other's who try to help families whose lives have been turned upside down.

Americans for the large majority are so stupid. They do what celebrities and influencers tell them to do.

They aren’t able to research and decide for themselves. That would take too much time away from Facebook

Its never black and white. Ukraine has been waging war on its own Russian speaking citizens in areas of eastern Ukraine since 2014. And maybe the US shouldn't have broken their promises to Russia in 1991 about not expanding NATO. The US has been expanding NATO for over 30 years now. Kissinger and dozens of others have been ringing this bell as a warning for over two decades. The US didn't like it much when the USSR moved warheads from Turkey to Cuba did we? Same with Ukraine being a part of NATO. That's just reality.

I don't fear kabuki pseudo-enemies that are 6000 miles away. I fear the real DC enemies here at home.

Which also makes it funny that the OP and so many others care so much about people who do this. They and their Ukraine or whatever else is the flavor of the week to care about...who cares about those people and the colors they update their Facebook status to

The whole “Russia didn’t want the US and NATO on their doorstep” is all talk.

There is no way Russia invades the Ukraine if they think the US is actually going to go defend it. Which we haven’t.

The USSR didn't move their missiles from Turkey to Cuba. The US moved their Jupiter Missiles to Italy and Turkey quietly and the USSR moved their missiles to Cuba in response. At least get your history right.

We are talking about a country that is hardly perfect, but that is at least headed in the direction of becoming a western democracy.
Is there considerable value in having a minor "western democracy.

I don't think so.

Are you referring to the Democrat Party run regions?
