If the West doesn't support Ukraine people would be calling the West hypocrites for not defending a democratically elected government asking for help. A country they said they'd help. If they do support them it's for their own gain and they're using them.
There is no pleasing people.
- mjburgess 5y agoI would say everything but arming Ukraine was the right move. I'dve kept sanctioning the central bank till later, if they started with bombardment as they're doing now. People down-voting me right now may not want to hear this, but in a year's time they'll see the results. Several major ukrainian cities won't exist any more. There is no Ukrainian victory here; Russia can level the country whenever it wants. The logistics of an invasion force are hard, but they will be solved. All that's being preserved now is pride and nationalism -- people and their lives are being destroyed. Putin won, militarily, this war when he decided to invade, the only question for the west is what price we want him to pay. Right now, ukraine is being used as a stick to beat putin with -- we're going to make him pay strategically, but the actual cost will be born by ukraine.
