We are now seeing the exact same thing among some self-described conservatives except in reverse. If anyone on the left is in favor of something, we automatically should take the opposite position no matter how ridiculous it may be. And that's how we end up with some "conservatives" rooting for the restoration of the Soviet Union.
I have a right to be skeptical of Ukraine when Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, and Romney all have children who have made millions off of shady Ukrainian business dealings. I also wonder why no one has cared about what Russia has done in the Caucuses over the past 20+ years. The whole situation stinks and I am not ready to take any side as of yet.

What makes you think that his side hasn’t put any thought into it? Because he disagrees with you.?
Personally, because there’s no way for me to REALLY know what’s going on there, I tend to look at how people line up on issues for a starting point. And if my enemies all take one side, I’m going to think real hard before joining them, and on this, there’s plenty of blame to go around on both sides.
Re: 69 - Great point. Your second paragraph applies to MANY FReepers.
I say basically the same thing all the time.
