I have always disliked Putin as a Soviet KGB thug who may change his appearance and rhetoric, but underneath, is still evil, and see no reason whatsoever to side in any way with him. He and his compatriots are not, and have never been our friends.
But I find Zelensky and his ilk equally repulsive and hostile to our values (or what used to be our values) as Americans. Their only saving grace is that they were invaded and not the other way around. And that is it. They are not our friends either.
I see no reason to support neither American Blood nor American Treasure in this struggle.
What our ENEMEDIA refuses to admit or report is that Zelensky was bombing the hell out of the Donbas region before Russia invaded!! Not to mention Zelensky has had his political foes arrested, he has shut down newspapers that reported on his bombings, etc...Zelensky is as despicable and thuggish as Putin...only he has a better PR team (the American enemedia covers for him)!!
Indeed, "our friends" as meaning the remnant of conservatives, but at least in the Ukraine non-Orthodox believers have more freedom. Yet spiritually, the West will most offer the world yet take away the soul.
