"Is it worth pointing out that what’s happening in Ukraine is not a civil war?"

We didn't miss an election during WWII either.

Ukraine gets full US military operations from Pentagon despite potential govt shutdown
Politico / Posted on 9/21/2023 / by Timber Rattler

“Operation Atlantic Resolve is an excepted activity under a government lapse in appropriations,” Sherwood said, referring to the named operation for DOD’s activities in response to the Russian invasion.

The move means that the U.S. military’s activities related to the war, such as training of Ukrainian soldiers on American tactics and equipment, as well as shipments of weapons to Kyiv, will continue despite any potential shutdown.

America was safe and stable during WWII, we were not invaded and occupied with our cities and towns being destroyed and some large American regions and cities holding fake elections under German and Japanese authorities.

We didn't have Germans or Japanese on our own soil, bombarding our cities and grain facilities with suicide drones or even manned bombers on a nightly basis.

BTW during our Civil War, Lincoln banned the "Copperhead" party of Northerners who opposed the war, and even arrested an opposition Congressman and drove him into exile. He also suspended habeas corpus by diktat in 1862, in open defiance of the Constitution.
