That's why I support Ukraine, better to use a pawn than having to deal with Russia directly ourselves. I think we could be doing this for a lot less than $100bn however.

Who benefits here? Wouldn't we better trying to pull Russia into the fold? Normalizing relations between Russia, EU and US? I don't see an active war in central Europe being a good thing for anyone. Again, as it seems to criticize the war in any way makes you a Russian shill, I'm not supporting or condoning Putin's behavior. I look forward to the day he's gone and maybe some common sense returns to Russia, but it's no longer the Cold War. What do we gain by dumping tons of cash into this conflict?

If the russia stops fighting, there will be no war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine. You are asking for there to be no Ukraine. That's why you're a shill for the Z.

During this war, russia has killed civilians at a greater clip than the holocaust. They have deported hundreds of thousands to camps in Siberia. There is no "pulling russia into the fold". There is no way back to civil society for an empire which has done what they did. That's also why you're a ruzzian shill.

In a recent thread, you blamed NATO for starting the war and said it should be dissolved. That's not

to criticize the war

You're a straight up ruzzian shill
