If so, was it polled somewhere?

If you had two choices

  1. Be put on your knees with your hands tied behind your back with a gun to your head, watch your wife and your daughter be raped in front of your eyes, screaming in pain and fear, crying out for you for help them, watch them be beaten and brutalized and finally executed while you are helpless

  2. Get some "lethal aid" from your neighborhood and defend your home in a firefight, and have a chance at defending yourself and your family even in a dangerous situation that might still leave you injured or dead

Which one are you choosing? I'm choosing #2, in a heartbeat.

I hate war, I hate violence, I own guns and I've never, ever shot them at a person. But I believe in self defense against the fascists and imperialists more than I believe in giving them what they want. And if they came from my home and family, I would be so happy to receive any assistance I could get.

Russia did this. This is Russia's fault. If this situation is somehow advantageous for the west (and it really isn't), that was Putin's doing.
