After reading the article, I am more against the “but they mean well!” argument than ever. I agree that there are multiple ways to confront a bully (which is essentially what Putin’s Russia is, a bully who uses the assumption of strength to cover the literal lack of strength). However, “moral relativism” is a lie. Invading a neighboring country is wrong, no matter how you frame it. I don’t mean to imply that the USA is consistently morally “good”, quite the opposite. But simply being the constant contra to an inconsistent moral actor doesn’t make you consistently good. France, and Macron, are a mix of morally good and bad decisions. As is Biden and the USA, as is any leader of any nation. To argue that the “con” to every “pro” is a defensible ethical position is to argue in bad faith
