    Yeah, the US defense department is salviating at sending supplies to Ukraine and funding an extremely cheap proxy war with Russia.

    I agree with you that Ukraine isn’t “a perfect country of sunflowers” like a lot of news orgs seemingly claim. The Donbass border situation is a massive shitshow of corruption and incompetence. I don’t like my taxes going towards sketchy corrupt regimes either.

    Russia isn’t blameless either. They still performed their own proxy war with Ukraine by funding seperatist rebels in donbass, and they still invaded a sovereign nation US “global cop” style. I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t critisize Russia for the same type of behavior the US did in Afganistan and Iraq.
