“You can still believe this to be true, as I do, and at the same time root for Putin to lose. I don’t know why some Freepers can’t wrap their heads around that.”
That is where I stand too. BOTH sides are wrong, two wrongs do not make a right. There just is no “Good side” in this mess.
There is a better side though, and it’s not Russia taking over Ukraine by force, on a path toward reconstituting the Soviet Union and future potential military conflict with the West.
So we waste blood and treasure because the other side is just as wrong as "your side." And let me be clear it ain't my side. Not my effin circus. Not my clowns, and not my town.
Unfortunately the large majority of our political leadership has actively sided with the corrupt Zelenskyy to the tune of $70bn (+/-) US tax dollars.
