Suggesting we do nothing to support a country that is being ruthlessly invaded doesn't make you "anti-war."

Some do believe that it's "realistic" to just let Putin have his way here. And some said the same about entering WW2.

The US only fought in Europe because Hitler declared war on the US. FDR did not want to go to war with Germany FDR's plan was to arm & equip the USSR & let them bleed & die fighting the Nazis - while the US concentrated on defeating Japan Hitler declaring war gave us no option.

If America hadn’t bankrolled the Allies and sent 116,000 men to die to “support” the Allies in WW1, no one would have known who Hitler was. It is nothing but hubris to assume we can predict the longterm outcomes of our intervention, but history tells us that they are terrible.

..."just have his way"...is not how one characterizes this?
If there were a fascist French government ruling Canada from Montreal, put in place by a Russian-funded coup, oppressing the English speakers and promising to have Canada join the #Russian Federation, I do wonder how the government in Washington DC would react.

Yeah, well, the grind is real among us plebs right now and we prefer our leaders focus on home. Our main goal should be working on becoming independent of China. If the Dems want to continue being war-mongers just now that’s on you. Leave us out of it.

What do you think will be the reasonable agreement? It has to be a stalemate but what is that?

Wow! Over 20 million Russians died at the hands of Nazis. I'm gob smacked by that Tweet. Please Marianne, don't do this. Please. Peace

And some said the same about entering Putin's operation in Georgia in 2008! Oh wait, that lasted less than two weeks and was completely different.
