Defending a country from invasion is war hawking, that is hilarious.

The defense of Europe from Fascist Tyrants is an American Tradition at this point. The defeat of Russia would bring decades of peace to the Western World.

They’re apparently unaware of all the other times that our involvement in other country’s wars has gone disastrously, like that one where we were in Afghanistan for 20 years and wasted trillions of dollars, all for nothing. Or that time when we gave a shitload of aid to a young Saddam Hussein so he’d fight Iran for us. That worked out really well. Or, you know, Vietnam.

Or maybe they don’t have to look at their medical bills and see the extent to which we’re neglecting our own people in order to fund the blank check for the US war machine.
