Or we fix some shit at home first.

There is always shit to solve, but right now, if ukraine's shit isn't solved soon enough, we all will have a lot of piled up shit to solve.

Here's an idea go sign up as a volunteer in Ukraine and fight yourself instead of cheering on for other people to die for you, you disgusting sack of shit.

That never happens. Plus we don't have anyone bombing our kids.

True, but many of them are being shot in our own schools.

And I heard they are being put to work too.

Weaker Russia means lower need for future military spending, and it is cheaper to give old weapons to Ukraine than to dispose of them locally.

Russian economy is growing while the west is going into a recession. Russian factory activity grows at fastest pace in over six years, meanwhile while US manufacturing activity shrinks the most in three years.. UK now can't even make steel from raw materials.

Yes, people still bleat about a weaker Russia. 🤡

Pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist has not historically been a good strategy for any country.
