I don't give two fucks about Ukraine, it's a proxy war between U.S. and Russia, and I am not interested in funding that with my tax dollars. However, some statistics about the ethnic makeup of the population in Ukraine:

Jewish: 0.2%

Ethnic Ukrainian (White): 77.8%

Ethnic Russian (White) 17.3%

Ukraine is whiter than, and less Jewish than the U.S. Also, they only have a Jewish president because the U.S. overthrew the last president and put him there. I think the reason this conflict is happening has more to do with geopolitics between NATO and nations unfriendly to NATO's economic alliance than racial politics

Russia wants Ukraine for their natural resources and to cut out competition. We should continue supporting Ukraine to punish Russia for putting propaganda bots on social media to push bullshit that benefits them and the corrupt politicians who shill for them in the U.S.

Putin has literally said he thinks the whole of the Ukraine belongs to Russia for historical reasons. I think we should just believe the man, his motives aren't any more complicated than that.
