But the Ukrainian people do not deserve to be killed as they are and the US and other nations should support them with as much military hardware as they can manage.

You can argue that innocent Iraqis and Afghans were killed in an attempt to “cull” the opposition to the US occupations, but I don’t think too many people around here were crying out for armament of those nations’ citizens. It’s amazing how this issue is dominating virtually all conversation (to the detriment of conservative unity), and all the other important issues that have united conservatives are virtually ignored.

You COULD, but it would be a pretty stupid argument.

Did we create 3 million (soon to be 5 million) refugees fleeing from Iraq?

We were VERY gentle with the Iraqi general population.

As far as “amazing” goes, where have you been? Handled poorly, this is either a possible (5% chance?) existential threat in the short term, or a sure fire existential threat in the long term. Multiple ways to get to that latter, too.
