The Vietnam hippies who protested the Vietnam War and burned their draft cards are now in power wanting the USA to get involved directly in the Ukraine war so they can profit off the destruction.

Actually us hippies still believe in Make Love not War.
However if you get in a war, the worst thing you can do is drag it out by incrementalism. Biden missed the window to not have this war, and now he’s done the worst thing you can do, which is bleed a country ( Ukraine) to death while fighting a “proxy” war. If you have access to outside the US media you will read that the Russians believe that they are at war with NATO and the US. Spin it how you will, but that’s the way the Russians are spinning it domestically. I have a long time democrat friend who actually believes that if the Russians us a nuke in Ukraine, we will use one back and that will be the end of the nuclear aspect of the war. What an idiot. There was a game in the 80’s called nuclear escalation. The game usually ended the round after the first nuke was used. Everyone in the game goes into use em or lose em mode and launches everything.

Don Henley had a great take on this cultural change all the way back in the 1980s:

"Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac." -- Don Henley, "The Boys Of Summer"

“The Vietnam hippies who protested the Vietnam War and burned their draft cards are now in power wanting the USA to get involved directly in the Ukraine war so they can profit off the destruction.”

I was thankful for those who protested, it got my ignorant, young, dupa out of a war that I didn’t want to be in. I would tend to doubt that “The Vietnam hippies who protested the Vietnam War” are the same ones that want the USA to get directly involved in the Ukraine war.

Those that promote the Ukraine war, or any war for that matter, apparently have no idea of what war is, the destruction it causes and, in particular, the poor SOBs that suffer the direct consequences.
