Ukraine is a backwater. Kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe is what is on the menu here. Morally, of course, it is also correct to support Ukrainians right to a national identity. Putin aims to do to Ukrainians exactly what his allies in the American left intend to do to American patriots: erase us.
A very corrupt one.
…it is also correct to support Ukrainians right to a national identity.
Sure. I’m all for humanitarian support through a wide variety of aid agencies. I hate that the Ukrainian people are being made to suffer in these awful conditions because nasty, greedy, corrupt “leaders” have to have their pissing contest and see who can slime the most money out of the world.
*Our* tax dollars are not being used to help those people. They’re being used to fatten certain people’s wallets and significantly grow “select” candidates’ campaign war chests.
