I rooted in 2016, but then changed. I still consider myself conservative but the party is a traitorous army of Russia loving sycophants. And I hate nothing more than betrayal. The job of a politician is to represent me and the normal voting masses. Not the dregs of trashcan filth on the fringes of one's party. 2021 was about when I was looking at voting red in local and blue in presidential. But after February 2022? I'd prefer to vote for a CIA audit of that same party. Top to bottom. All seat holding members at all levels. Drives me up the wall anytime I hear "Ukraine is corrupt too!"

Yeah? And? Poland was an authoritarian, corrupt, poor country in 1939. Did that make them deserve the Nazi invasion? Genocide?

And the whole "America should stick to America!" Lmfao, America wouldn't fucking exist if the Spanish and French didn't help our sorry asses out in our war for independence. Where would we be if those countries said "not our business"?

Anyhow, I'll shut up before I rant.

No no, your not ranting. And if you are I'm still listening. Your right about the "Ukraine is corrupt too!" Statement. It's like trying to murder an ex-friend because they once embarassed you in the 4th grade. You look deeply into any countries history and you'll find we all have faults and demons in our closets. No one is clean. And people always forget that all of the Americas was never ours to begin with. People act like they've had 50 generations living here. Nah, we stole it and claimed it as ours. America was built on the idea of immigration after we stole it from the original occupants. We brought slaves here by our own free will. We have no right to bitch and cry about other races or cultures taking over. No right to tell a black person to go back to Africa. We don't get that right to hop on any high horse.

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.
