Of course they want help, they’ve been invaded! You idiots.
Goading? More like begging.

That’s how most people see it, and I think this is the simplest and best explanation for why there is overwhelming popular support for the Ukrainian people. It is not Soros-bots, Neo-con, Globalist, or NWO manipulation forming public opinion, it is the natural sympathy one would feel for a population being shelled into submission by its overbearing neighbor.
For one anecdotal example of this public sentiment, last night I attended a concert by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, which began the program by playing the Ukrainian National Anthem. You can always tell when an orchestra is just mailing it in, but this was done with passion, and all of the two-thousand people there were standing.
