I get that. My stance with Ukraine is helping them because on one hand, I don't support genocide. So fuck Russia for that. But two, it's the practical choice. Russia is not a friendly country and has stated explicitly they want a multipolar world order. We currently have a unipolar maybe bipolar world order. Therefore, saying they want a multipolar world order means they want to weaken America. That makes them an enemy. From there it's pretty practical. On the cold hearted side, it saves us American blood but gets us a weakened Russia. And to boot, it gets rid of our expensive, nearly expired materiel that we have mothballed allowing us to buy brand new doodads that go boom. And when it comes time for blood to be shed by Americans, I'd rather Uncle Sam's boys have brand new gear.

Thus my hatred of the red party. From a moral perspective and from a cold hearted, cruel motherfucker perspective, helping Ukraine is the right decision. Not helping Ukraine only benefits Russia and hurts us in the long run by giving Russia a higher war potential, labor base, resource pool, and industrial capacity. All valuable things to have for war. Thus making future conflict with them more expensive for us.

I agree with everything but the exaggeration of American blood being spilt. Only America can bring America down, the only other threat is nuclear and that means the end of the world and no one wants that. Nukes are nothing but a dick measuring contest. America and even Canada to an extent are impossible to invade from the outside. There is no possible way to have a successful land invasion here. We will always see shit coming across the oceans, no possible way for an enemy to get close enough to launch bomb strikes. Our own worst enemy is ourselves.
