Russia is both historically and currently an aggressive imperialist expansionist state gorging itself on its weaker neighbors.
Left to their own devices the Russians would be at the English channel within a few years and we'd be facing a hyper-power.
The West learned in Munich in 1938 that appeasement and the abandonment of friends and allies carries a huge price-tag.
The United States learned during that same time frame that the American Isolationism of the 19th century no longer works.
That means intervening when our close friends and allies face existential threats from the outside not of their own making.
Like threats to Europe and its border regions.
Like the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
We stop Putin now in Ukraine or we spend our own blood in Poland and Romania and Germany and the Balkans later.
And - if we can stop the Russians by-proxy - then, so long as the Ukrainians are willing to stand-up to Russia, we help them.
The Russians have proven themselves to be far less formidable in modern conventional warfare than anyone would think.
After all, they have the Second-Best Army in Ukraine and are being held-back by the brave people of a much smaller country.
We need to continue to serve as the Arsenal of Democracy in connection with Ukraine and to help these valiant people.
Doing so is in our national interest - tactically - strategically - politically - and historically - it is the absolute right thing to do.
Imagine if Russia by proxy tried to stop America invading Iraq. I mean come on now we gotta be fair here.
And the thing in Israel isn’t even close. Ukraine has a standing military. Palestine has absolutely nothing. Why isn’t Palestine getting $50 billion from America to defend themselves. Don’t you see this has never been about morals.
You saw all the videos there’s tons of Palestinian Christians, who are saying right in front of you on camera in front of all of us they stand with all Palestinians against Israeli aggression. So now what. Again this isn’t about morals.
The pro western Ukrainian government bombed their own citizens in eastern Ukraine around 2014. Israel has long targeted Palestinians, who oppose Israel. Look it’s about truth and honesty here …. In case you want to bring up the October 7 attack which Israel might have allowed according to conservatives in America….. you’re gonna bring that up you have to bring up Ukraine bombing their own citizens in eastern Ukraine around 2014.
I admit some people in Ukraine, oppose, Russia, and you folks who are pro-Ukrainian must acknowledge some people in Ukraine are pro Russian. It’s a dynamic situation…. Like the troubles during the conflict in Ireland, some Irish supported the British crown. Many others opposed the British crown.
Same thing in the holy land some Palestinian support Israel, and they live in work in Israel, but many other Palestinians oppose Israel. Americans here should be one of diplomacy and common sense. Palestine, Israel, Russia, or Ukraine, have absolutely no interest in invading America, and think so is really backwards, and it is pretty much the definition of American exceptionalism, we can go and invade any country we want, but Russia can’t.
