First - it seems you have to say this or be persecuted - I DO NOT SUPPORT PUTIN.
Now that is out of the way, I just don’t understand why we are supposed to also show so much love for an utterly corrupt nation like the Ukraine. It’s driving me crazy - this groupthink to love Ukraine. They worked to get Trump impeached, they funnel money to criminals through their energy companies, they encourage violent behavior and support organized crime.
Yet somehow I am supposed to care for them more than my own citizens and neighbors. SPIT.

“an utterly corrupt nation like the Ukraine”
You know so much about Ukraine but can’t be bothered to know its proper name.
