    Seen people ask why we give the weapons to Israel when we could give them to Ukraine

    I’ve seen this take a disturbing number of times among a certain branch of leftism I can’t name because it would violate the anti-sectarianism rule

      I mean, I’m certainly very far from pro-Ukraine, but I definitely think Russia is far better equipped to handle whatever NATO throws at it than Gaza. I’ve been saying since Oct 7 that every dollar Zelensky grifts is a dollar that doesn’t go to the genocide and is thefore a dollar I support being wasted to slow down Russia’s inevitable victory. I still hope every single factory that is making bombs for Ukronazis or Zionazis goes up in flames at the earliest convenience, of course.

        real talk, i’m a bit concerned that if trump wins and abandons ukraine, forcing them to surrender, then the empire will go all in 100% on Iran instead of having its attention and resources split.

        Good thing this isn’t a democracy so there’s nothing I can do about it either way, absolved of any responsibility to chose a “lesser evil” or “reduce harm” is a great mental relief. I think radlibs who do utilitarian calculus all day to try and max their altruism levels and really believe in it are in their own self constructed hell, spinning wheels in circles that don’t connect to anything

          america is already kind of starting to abandon ukraine to focus on west asia. The empire deploying THAAD and B2s to the middle east is a bad omen

            B2s are actually in Australia, so pretty damn far away. They just have very long range when combined with refuel tankers.

            I think you’re right about the west already starting to abandon Ukraine. I think it will happen faster under Trump though, whereas a Democrat will really drag it out over like 2 years and it will be messy.
