It’s amazing how passionate the defenders of Ukraine really are. I’m no fan of politics of Ukraine but I certainly don’t agree with Russia coming in and trying to liberate Ukraine’s people either. I think people should live and let live, we don’t have any business butting into other countries business.

Probably a lot of people just see it through the lens of partisan politics – if you are a vivid defender of Ukraine, you are a good Democrat while the Trump supporters are backing Russia. But I also see backing Ukraine as no different than backing the Taliban in Afghanistan in the 1980s against the USSR. The enemies of our enemies are not our friends.

I don’t like supporting war either on behalf of Ukraine or Russia. Doesn’t matter if you are supplying weapons to either side, you are still supporting war and human suffering. Ukraine is no saint, they don’t deserve to be invaded but they also shouldn’t be doing business with neo-Nazis or human rights abusers. We should be calling for peace not for arming right wing extremists in Ukraine.
