There is a legitimate and an illegitimate use of military force. Supporting the Ukrainians in the defense of their country is not "war-mongering." It's *because* someone understands that, that a criticism of military adventurism such as that in Iraq and Afghanistan carries weight

The dynamics are more complex than MSM will provide. Personally, I had a lot to learn over the last few days re: US/NATO/Russia/EU/Ukraine, although having followed Prof Stephen F. Cohen (rest in peace), I had some basics. The following may be helpful

(1/5) Amid all the hysteria of Western media, screaming bloody murder at #Putin, omitting key facts when inconvenient, it’s most important to understand the full spectrum of what’s happening. With the help of the Internet, I’ve found some helpful and honest analyses.

The war started in 1997, when NATO broke its promise and expanded eastward. No-one can be anti-war and not anti-NATO at the same time.

The war started in 1997 when NATO expanded. It can end tomorrow if the US promises to stop NATO expansion. You know this but refuse to tell the truth. Instead, you sell propaganda for the military & fossil fuel industries that own your friend Joe. You don’t care about humanity

And when we find out Putin is really just after stopping the global elites from using their Ukrainian playground as a staging location, bank, and front for crimes against humanity?

News Reports indicate Ukrainian Leaders are FORCING PEOPLE(male citizens) TO FIGHT. I'd call that "war mongering"! The DRAFT is a tool of hardcore War-Mongers. Some may rather choose to help their wife/children escape to safer pastures.(family before country) cc: @TulsiGabbard

The consequences of the US supporting Ukraine might possibly start world war III so it's not that people don't want to help it's just we're not the world police and we never should have acted like it in the first place

I suppose according to many peoples' logic in your comments section we are a Nazi nation that deserves to be obliterated by a foreign imperialist because we have active neo Nazis in our midst, as do many countries. They r a small minority here, and in Ukraine. Not buying their bs
