It seems to me that there is a significant difference between opposing funding for Ukraine and actively rooting for Putin to succeed. I understand the rationale behind the former position but not the latter. Way too many people here who claim to be patriots and conservatives are in the latter group.
1) The faster Russia wins, the less we will have to spend on defense. Putin was provoked and needs a buffer state just half the length of Europe to feel safe. After taking Ukraine, he will be good we promise. We totally get him bro 👌
2) Russia is the last bastion of Christianity/conservatism and anywhere Russia hoists their flag becomes a carbon copy of 1950s America. We would rather live under Russia than watch our children become nazi crossdressers under globohomo.
3) Russian troll farms pushing the above.
