(18,200 posts)I recognize that supporting Ukraine has had a number of good effects.
Russia's capability has been exposed. No one need to be fearful of a Russian juggernaut spreading across Europe. Hell, Poland by themselves could push it's way to Moscow.
It may have weakened the government, has certainly weakened the economy.
These are all things the neocons like... and have dreamed about doing for 60 years.
Ukrainian resistance may have saved other nations from future conflict with Russia too.
BTW you can also search where I've said... fighting Russia is up to Ukraine and Ukrainians. I just want the US to be a proportionate partner, NOT the sugar daddy.
I'm not against fighting the war... I think it's stupid but I'm not against it.
I'm mostly against the neoconservative movement (and their predecessors) and proxy war with Russia has been their dream since the end of WW2.
Neoconservatism can also be called the American Imperialist movement... global Amerian control and power. I believe a multi-polar world is more fair and correct.
