The Ukrainians are fighting for their own country. I don’t think American troops should go there and fight for them.
But I get the unmistakable sense that quite a few people around here are actually rooting for Putin.
I think they’re rooting for the truth. Which is sadly lacking. And can you blame people for feeling that way. The media is by and large an enemy of conservatives. They hate our opinions, our life styles, heck , probably the way we look and dress. They loathe us. So if they are all in to go to war for some country that will always be unstable due to its geography, can you blame them. And when they see who is cheer leading on the Ukrainian side it makes it even more difficult not to be sceptical. I won’t even name them, but it is for sure they have it in for conservatives too. They want no rivals in the market place of ideas. They want us dead. And lastly the social media barons. They hate us too. And it is disturbing for conservatives to see these anti nationslists suddenly giddy about Ukrainian nationalism and taking active measures to limit access to information they choose out of an abundance of net nannyism to deny people reading. They feed this ‘cancel all things Russian’ hysteria , forgetting that some of humankinds greatest works of art, music ,literature, science were created by Russians. It is not an insignificant culture to be ignored or despised due to a temporal conflict.
