Why are leftist so committed to continuing the killing and bloodshed in the Ukraine

Why don’t y’all realize that Putin is the only one who can save us now?

You are so right, but that goes against the narrative on this board that Putin is here to save the day. So prepare to be downvoted into oblivion.

Didn't they used to be the Anti-war party?

At first glance, I thought that was odd too. But then I realized they enjoy murdering babies, giving an untested vaccine to healthy people that is killing them, and it hit me that they've always enjoyed killing. They disguise it as caring for the environment since people pollute and are over populated really they just enjoy killing weaker people.

But why is that the US' problem?

So much of the energy that EU needs comes from Russia. Seems like those guys would be the one's trying to shore up the opposition.

And Trump even tried to warn the EU about their energy independence by going so Green and the reliance that would cause. Those chickens are coming home to roost and it's not even really gotten cold yet.

Biden cares about Ukraine for financial reasons. Any clear objective person would have discovered that by now. Trump made it crystal clear and got impeached for doing so.

I’m not a leftist, but let’s get real.

Putin invaded a sovereign nation 3 times. Georgia once and Ukraine twice. Ukraine has invaded no one.
...
Now you can oppose helping Ukraine. You can even cheer for Putin’s Russia. I’ll even join you in declaring Ukraine not blameless. But let’s not tell lies to each other.

This is an oversimplistic explanation. We have this fixation on some commonly accepted definitions of things that just aren't true. Such as:

1. Ukraine's borders were always as they were in 1991 when they left the USSR
2. Ukraine was always that way before the USSR came along
3. Ukraine was a maligned sub-Russian client state of the USSR
4. Ukraine has clean hands

Ukraine has been a historical area no different than any other European historical area - Germany, Spain, Italy... The borders have changed over the years and entire political units have left, returned, merged, divested, etc... over 1,000 years. Over time, Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania have been united. During the USSR time, Ukraine was an industrial heartland of the USSR as well as bread basket (even though they still couldn't feed themselves under the socialist model).

I don't agree with Putin's invasion and I fear that ethnic cleansing is a reality. That's terrible.

But why did we prioritize Ukraine over Afghanistan? Do we really have any more business supporting one over the other? Is either war really winnable? If the Taliban, a bunch of cave-dwelling shite-heals supported by certain Pakistani and Chinese benefactors, can rebound in weeks after our pullout, what does that say about Russia "losing" currently in Ukraine? After we cut off aid, how long will it take for an enemy nation with modern infrastructure and running water in most houses to rebound?

The moronically over-simplified "Russia bad Ukraine good forget Afghanistan thats (D)ifferent" explanation holds about as much water as every other lie the media is telling us.

But it ain't about the stories they lie to us, it's about the suburban "educated" eyeballs they sell to Nike, Coke, and Tide soap. We are the product.

That is a valid and logical argument. And, I have some sympathy for it. We should NOT put boots on the ground, planes in the air, or ships on the waters of this war!

But, 2 points:
1- America (President Bill #metoo Clinton) promised American protection to Ukraine if they gave up the former Soviet nuclear missiles and bombs on their territory. Russia gave the same promise by the way!
2- Russia is an International evil force like North Korea or Iran. Reducing their war making ability, financial potential, and international prestige is worth something. Example perhaps Xi’s China will not invade Democratic Taiwan because the Soviet designed weapons are being shown to be crap by western designed ones.

Now there’s a limit on American wealth transfers. And that’s an excellent point to debate.

But blaming Ukraine for this war is bullshite!

Am I allowed to be apathetic here and not give a crap what happens in Ukraine and still think Putin sucks, except when you compare him to the Turnip we have running this country?

The U.S. has no business being involved in Ukraine and Putin sucks...
