“They were also doing this before the war started”
And therefore? Do you really think America is on the side of Ukraine because it’s some bastion of democracy? It is and should be on the side of Ukraine because Russia’s invasion, by CatherPutin’s own statement, is not going to end there. Her invasion of Ukraine is only the beginning, in order to reestablish the Russian empire of Catherine the Great, and to get some of those nifty embroidered Ukrainian dresses. If she takes Ukraine, CatherPutin The Grate will take the rest of the Balkans and Baltics, including NATO member Romania, and also NATO members Poland, Lithuania and Hungary. She said so. So it ends in Ukraine with Ukrainian victory, and with that the end of CatherPutin The Grate, and all the US has to do is supply Ukraine and provide good intel, no direct involvement. But the US is not doing the most essential thing to end Russia’s campaign, and that is to produce and export gas and oil and put all this green new deal crap on hold until later.
Ukraine’s not a Jeffersonian democracy? We’re in an imperfect world. Ukraine is now more democratic than it had been previously, and they want to move towards stronger connections with Europe, which is a sort of good thing.
“They were also doing this before the war started.”
You must be referring to the separatists, who took up arms against their own country. I can see where that can get one arrested.
