There are lots of opinions out there. If the democRATs are backing Ukraine and this conflict then I have to wonder why.

The Ukrainian people spoke most loudly by stopping the Russian Invasion at the beginning of the war.

The Ukrainians surprised everyone by not caving to the Russian military.

Everyone was surprised, including President Biden, who gave a backhanded go-ahead to Vladimir Putin.

The invasion woke up Europe, re-invigorated NATO, brought Finland and Sweden into NATO, and is forging a militarily strong nation-state of Ukraine.

The major winner in the war has been China. The major losers have been Russia and Ukraine.

It is in the interests of Europe and the United States to have Ukraine as a buffer state against further Russian agressions.

We shouldn’t have one single dollar being sent to Ukraine by our government. Doesn’t mean I am a “Putinista” and it doesn’t mean I am a supporter of the “Globalhomo Ukranians”.

I am quite glad to see the Russian government getting its face pushed in by Ukraine, since Putin is the leader of Russia, and he is an unrepentant KBG scum. His spots have never changed. He just put on a different suit.

But Ukraine is not our friend. Their government only pretends to be in order to extract money from us.

I don’t forget all the corruption that was benefiting the Democrats before (and after) Trump’s first term.

The Democrats are doing no such thing and in fact enabled Russia and Hillary Clinton’s favorite Russian to invade the country in the first place, which was followed by Obama’s dithering while he pretended to assist them with blankets only, which was followed by Biden withholding aid in order to extort them for bribe money to his family. Lazy lip service is just that, lip service.

That is definitely not how you treat an ally or friend. It is how you assist the Russians in waging war abroad while you pretend to be doing otherwise.
The Democrats have always been pro-Russian and pro North Vietnam and pro Comminist China since at least John Kerry’s political ascendency, which includes his cuddling up to the Sandinistas, and they were more so when Obama, the son of two individuals who met each other while studying Russian, was crippling us in the White House.

You should be “wondering why” the “corrupt and despotic” Globohomo EU has pumped $200+ billion Euros into Putin’s war economy since ‘22. They are clearly quite happy to do business with Putin’s regime.
