You may be right, but you can't deny that the main part of American 'appeasement voices' belong to the MAGA people. I don't mean that all the Republicans are from MAGA movement.
And it happens to be that these MAGA people repeat Russian propaganda virtually word to word, at the same time being totally ignorant about all those events.
You think they can change their mind? I don't think so. The train has already left the station.
Who can blame them? Between the fabricated Russian collusion narrative, Biden's family corruption, the bullshit impeachment(s), MAGA has every reason not to trust the democrat media narrative.
Yes, there is a significant contingent on the political right that believes the democrats are the greater threat, and I'm sympathetic to that viewpoint.
Incidentally, I can find just as many democrats who would rather see the aid for Ukraine spent on housing for the homeless, or student loan debt, or global warming, or some other left-wing priority. They just aren't getting their voices amplified by MSNBCNN because there is no political advantage in it.
Biden was perfectly content to leave Ukraine to Putin, and whisk Zelensky off to safety. Zelensky shamed him on Twitter when he said "I need guns, not a ride". When Austin and Blinken went to Ukraine, Zelensky warned them- "don't show up empty handed". IOW, "We can meet, but don't be wasting my time".
When I see Pelosi and Schiff skipping down the street in Kiev, hand in hand with Zelensky, it really tests my resolve. I
know why they are there- they are setting conditions.
My support for Ukraine is based on the fundamental belief that Ukrainians are entitled to chart their own destiny. It isn't any more complicated than that.
But the more this war is used as a political football by democrats, the easier it will be for me to wash my hands of it and let it be a European-only problem.
Which it fundamentally is- but the euros are squishy, and they need encouragement from the US right now. And even though they will never admit it, Trump was right about NATO member's defense budgets and European dependence on Russian energy, so if that's the end state, that's okay too...
