    Maybe we shouldn’t have supported Ukraine if it meant supporting genocide

      You seem very picky as to which genocide is ok.

      The Russian land grab and physical and cultural genocide of Ukraine.

      The Israeli land grab and physical and cultural genocide of Gaza/Palestine.

      You can’t be absolutist about one and hand wave the other.

      No purity for you.

        The US is not currently causing the genocide in Ukraine.

        The US has not spent 80 years covering for genocide in Ukraine.

        The US has not spent 80 years being the attack dog of another nation commiting genocide in Ukraine.

        I’m not in Russia. I was not born in Russia. I do not pay taxes to Russia.

      And in a mirror universe where that decision got made someone’s arguing “maybe we shouldn’t have cut funding to Israel if it meant allowing the genocide in Ukraine.”

        what gets me is would the hamas attack and thus the isreali response happen without putin. Im very suspicious that he was not pushing on making more chaos globally to get our of the cluster fuck he started.
