As any intelligent adult would. I do the same.
Just a thought - is it possible "scumbag American leftists" are actually jerking your chain? You wouldn't trust Biden, Pelosi, MSNBC, CNN, etc.. about events at home - yet you trust them to give you the truth about events thousands of miles away, in a language, place and culture you don't understand?
Yo Vlad! Do you remember Afghanistan?
I know you do.

I don’t trust the legacy media on anything.
I have my own view and understanding of world affairs based on 65 years of intense interest in this subject and my interest and position as an American does not change on fundamental issues such as the threat from Russia or China just because a moron like Biden is in office right now. Certainly if Trump was in office this would never have happened.
Oh you mean we could invade England because both countries speak English?
I’ve known Ukrainians for decades and they hate Russia and Russians with a white hot hatred.
If they loved each other so much they wouldn’t be under attack with tanks aircraft missiles and everything else in the Russian Arsenal. Use some common sense for God’s sake.
My late grandmother was Ukrainian and I have relatives in Kiev. Maybe the Slavs all look the same to you, but I can assure you Ukrainians don’t want to be ruled by Russia any more than you want to be ruled by Mexico.

Russian fighter jet was shot down by Ukrainian forces. Pilots catapulted from the aircraft and landed in Vyshhorod, Kyiv Oblast.

I've known Ukrainians for decades who have studied medicine and engineering in Kiev and Russia, have relatives in both places, couldn't stand the corruption in Ukraine, and came to the USA. They just wish Ukraine would be left alone, and could avoid being stuck between its corrupt oligarchs, Russian Nationalists, the CIA, NATO and Ukraine Nationalists.
We should get them together
“I’ve known Ukrainians for decades and they hate Russia and Russians with a white hot hatred.”
Absolutely true. Some people here seem to believe that Ukrainians and Russians loved each other until the Western media/governments turned them against each other. The hatred and resentment goes back many generations.
Growing up in a Ukrainian family
LOL..you too?
You did NOT want to mess with my immigrant baba...[great gran, in this case]
Cool! You and your Rightwing Conspiratr1 children can pack your guns up and go to fight Russia for Lithuanian borders!
I had two “BABA’s”. We called them “Baba from Bayonne” and “Baba from Yonkers”.
Tough ladies. One of them told off her abusive brother-in-law, and he died of heart attack 20 minutes later.
Russia seems to be exercising great restraint. Much of their forces are still in rear positions, surprising many who are used to American-style "Shock and Awe" campaigns.
They seem to be testing the waters. Could be also that the Russian military on the ground has no great desire to slaughter Ukrainians and level their cities to ruins. At some point, this will need to be resolved at the bargaining table.

Another thing we have in common! My grandfather on my father’s side was Ukrainian and my grandmother was Polish, both right off the boat! Very proud of that heritage.
Idiot propagandists whose entire goal is to spread disinformation to shape the opinion of lazy people unwilling to do their own research.
Ask any ethnic Ukrainian what they think of Russia and Russians. I know plenty of them. They all loathe Russians.
