It's interesting how this doesn't make y'all question the support for Ukraine...

There's a slight difference between:

  • Helping an underdog that got invaded. While the invading force is by the way one of your worst enemies that the sent gear was prepared for anyway.
  • Further financing of a state that already has full capabilities to wipe the floor with a largely irrevelant country.

And yet they're being tied together.

Doesn't that make you rethink your assumptions at all?

Not really, every bullet fired in ukraine weakens russia, an invading country and therefore it hurts soldiers.

The war in palestine kills innocent civilians and children

And yet Biden supports both. Why?
