Fwiw, I see defending one’s home, nation, history, people, language, freedom and way of life against a foreign invader as being far from senseless. This is about as noble a fight as one can have, to fight for and if necessary to give one’s life for friends, family, neighbors and strangers, alike.
Giving aid to those in that fight, especially in their fight against the Russians, who have been against us in almost every conflict we’ve had since the Second World War, seems like the most moral thing for us to do.
Better to be a Good Samaritan than to judge whether someone is worthy of our help or not or to look the other way when being asked for help, which seems less than honorable given our Christian heritage, our great God given wealth and our status in the world.
I believe if your neighbors were being robbed, you’d probably intervene in some way to help them even if you didn’t like them, right? Or have I misjudged you?
The bottom line is, there would be no war if Putin didn’t keep bringing one to his neighbors and this war would “end” if he goes back home.
It’s his war. His casualties. And his eternal consequences, too, unless he repents and starts loving his neighbors instead of trying to kill and subjugate them.
You clearly don’t have a clue about what was happening in the ethnically Russian Donbas for the previous 8 yrs. The Ukraine military was systematically shooting missiles and bombs into the area after Donbas residents voted to become an autonomous part of Ukraine in 2014. Kiev said they’d abide by the results but then immediately sent in the militia to deal with the “insurgents.” Over 14,000 ppl died over the next 8 yrs, many of them civilians and children. Donbas leaders asked the Russian govt for assistance so troops were sent in to send a message to Kiev to stop physically, economically and psychologically tormenting ethnic Russians living in Ukraine. Maybe NATO and the EU shouldn’t have poked the bear in the first place.
