Can't speak for anyone else here, but:
The overwhelming majority of FReepers who stand with Ukraine do so not because they have any personal affection, ties, or allegiance to Ukraine.
We likewise have little special interest in or fondness for, say, Finland, Estonia, or Georgia.
Rather, we adhere to the sober assessment that Putin's Russia is a military threat to the United States (after all: It's nukes are aimed chiefly at us), and that Putin's invasions of sovereign nations at its borders cannot be allowed to go unpunished.
It's as simple as that.

No one here - certainly not anyone supporting aid to Ukraine in defending herself against a tyrant like Putin - has ever said that America's southern border should be ignored.
That's a despicable canard.

“...Putin’s Russia is a military threat to the United States (after all: Its nukes are aimed chiefly at us), and that Putin’s invasions of sovereign nations at its borders cannot be allowed to go unpunished...”
There is also the factor that if Russia takes more land and resources, it simply enriches our enemy and Russia becomes an even greater threat to us. It is in our interest to see that Russia does not trample smaller nations and absorb them.
As a nation that cares about the lives of innocent people, America also has a humanitarian interest in stopping Russian genocide against the Ukrainian people and their culture.
I honestly don’t care about the reasons.
A large number of us are just tired of the excessive propaganda polluting the Latest Posts feeds.
