The US is not helping out because it feels sorry for Ukraine, it is because the US does not believe Russia would stop at Ukraine, and would press on to the other former territories of the USSR and it’s allied countries, several of which are in NATO.
The US is sending munitions to Ukraine now because they have a population willing to fight, and if Russia escalates, that will involve sending US troops to protect NATO countries. We are bound by treaty to do that, as long as an idiot President doesn’t find a way to leave NATO…
Everybody says that…but I’d like to see Russia try. And if they resort to nukes, they’ll be erased in a day. They may be Russian, but they’re not stupid or suicidal.
Excuse me? Crimea IS (or was) part of Ukraine. The fuck are you on about “second” country? This invasion has been already happening for a decade more or less.
You are trying to make out like the US is benevolent and are concerned about Ukrainians. The US does nothing that doesn’t benefit the war machine and capitalism. The US engages in war to line the pockets of the donor class.

You’re moving the goal posts. The world isn’t black or white. Disliking the US doesn’t mean that Russia is right. Russia went to war with Ukraine. The whataboutism on the US is not relevant. Say the US did something bad, is that really why Russia invading Ukraine can be excused?

They’ve already invaded a sovereign neighbor, ripping up a treaty in the process. They’re already trying.
That was between them and Ukraine though. Not NATO. Very different power dynamic there. They don’t feel threatened by Ukraine.
He’s talking about Crimea you moron. Ukraine is the second country Russia has invaded.

The US and Ukraine ripped up that treaty years before by refusing to abide by the terms of the Minsk Agreements.
Can you suck Russia’s dick any harder?
You’re repeating years old misinformation like you’re saying something new.

Ironic.
