So what? Do you think what's happening in Ukraine is bad right now? Do you think we shouldn't send them anti-aircraft weapons, drones, planes, whatever? There are bad people in the world who take advantage of those without the means to defend themselves, and I would much rather that America be able to defend itself (or her allies) than live under the thumb of whatever dictator had better weapons and the will to use them.
- dandellion 5y agoBecause the US would only use the weapons to defend good causes, never to invade other countries or sell them to anyone doing anything bad. I don't think Russia being worse suddenly makes the US the good guys.
- ericmay 5y agoWhat's your proposal?
- atlasunshrugged 5y agoThe US absolutely does things I don't like, a lot, but you know the old saying -- "compare me to the alternative, not the almighty." The only other superpower out there is China, a country actively committing genocide. The EU is a theoretical economic and regulatory superpower but won't ever be a full one because they don't have a strong military and depend on America's security guarantees. So maybe the US isn't a "good guy", but it seems like the best guy out of the ones to choose from.
- slim 5y agomaybe the bad people in the world is you ? wubba wubba wubba wubba woo woo woo
- atlasunshrugged 5y agoMaybe, or maybe it's the ones who invaded a sovereign country and bombed a maternity hospital, or maybe the ones committing genocide.
