The mainstream public has no idea of the level of corruption in Ukraine, and how US aid is being misused to enrich a lot of people. Go back and look at the last funding bill. Why should we ever give aid to another country earmarked for that government's pensions? It seems a lot of the military weapons aren't being used against Russia, but are being sold in the international arms black markets.
Meanwhile, elections have been suspended, political parties in highly ethnic Russian areas have been outlawed, speaking Russian and teaching the Russian language and history has been outlawed. and on and on.
As far as enabling Putin, would it be better to stop his aggression now, or let him keep going at a slow pace? The notion the US is hurting Putin via a proxy war has lost it's validity as Russia and China together are now a more dangerous threat, and the US is crippling itself by giving away munitions reserves and going deeper into debt while providing our own arms to terrorists through the Ukraine black market.
It's never been about Ukraine for Democrats. It's always been about the need for Putin as the bogeyman, and because Trump actually talks to Putin. It's always been about team politics because Biden supported Ukraine (while his family profited).
Posters on this board will cherry pick my comments in this post and ignore this paragraph. Putin is crazy and dangerous. There's no defense for his military aggression. Zelenskyy is crazy and corrupt as well. Zelenskyy has been emboldened by his ability to continue getting cash from the US.
Would anyone like to wager on if Zelenskyy remains in Ukraine after he leaves office? My bet is he ends up in France or Switzerland in a very nice chalet and some tidy numbered bank accounts.
