Just seems like when ever there is conflict in the world we have to pick a side and send our money, guns or troops.

It’s not our job to police the world.

I’m not fond of Putin but and unless we are ready for wwIII, we won’t be able to support Ukraine without a large commitment. A commitment of such would be tantamount to straight up war with Russia.

No offence to Ukraine but they aren’t worth it.

Let me clear up the misunderstanding. Nobody cares if you don’t care about Ukraine and don’t want us to get involved. A LOT of people think that way.

No, the “knee-jerk” reaction alluded to was giving Ukrainians the “Nazi” label.

The vast majority of Ukrainians (I don’t have the figures handy right now, but it’s upward of 90%) DESPISE Nazis. Just mention to my wife, who was born and raised in Ukraine, that Ukrainians are Nazis. And if you do, be prepared to have your head handed to you, painted to look like a Matryoshka doll, and flowers planted in a big hole in your skull.

And in case that wasn’t clear, calling a Ukrainian a Nazi is EXTREMELY offensive.

Hope that clears it up for you.
