100% I hate the fact that we’re funneling money I’m anti-war but the alternative is definitely much worse. If we don’t support Ukraine, Russia gains power and a free pass to invade whoever the hell they want. If we don’t support Israel we leave a power vacuum and The power influence of the US gets replaced by either Russia or China. No good options anyehere.

Obviously, supporting Israel is also supporting genocide. It’s a classic catch-22.

I’m so glad I’m not the president! He gets to choose between eating a shit sandwich, and eating shit gumbo.

At least Ukraine has a pretty righteous cause. So there’s that…

You don’t have to say you’re anti-war before saying you support supplying Ukraine. Giving Ukraine the means to defend themselves from warmongering is a form of being anti-war.

I found on the internet it helps to be explicit because nuance is difficult for some.
