Unlike some, I do not see the Ukrainian government the same as the Ukrainian people.
Nobody in the Ukrainian government is fighting or sacrificing for the nation. Those corrupt leaders are making out like bandits with the graft and sales of NATO arms.
The Ukrainian men fight because males are not allowed to leave the country.
Ukrainians are dying and suffering needlessly. This war was totally avoidable if Biden/NATO had used diplomacy instead of saber rattling. But now the left is making huge dollars off defense contracts and will make even more off reconstruction contracts.
In the end, Russia will control part of Ukraine, just like what could have been negotiated from the start and totally avoiding the mass loss of tens of thousands of good Ukrainian lives, property and families.
Not their government? There you go again. How does supporting the disenfranchisement of Ukrainians help American conservatives? It doesn’t, obviously.
Just last week Putin again personally denied the historical legitimacy of the Ukrainian state. No amount of diplomacy will change that position because Putin is an empire building Russian revanchist.
The globalists who happily partner with Putin’s fascist Russia care exactly as much about the Ukrainian nation as the US. That would be not at all.
Patriotic American conservatives have common cause with Ukrainians who simply do want their have their sons die in FSB torture chambers and children stolen by the Russian state. Conservatism without a moral core will not exist.
