None of our business. Focus on your fellow citizen and immediate community.

It is our business because Russia is an aggressive, expansionist, colonial power with a nuclear arsenal that threatens our closest allies.

The dissolution of the USSR left Russia with deep-seated insecurities about its western border, leading to a desire for a buffer of influence.
In terms of nuclear threat, the Cold War era was marked by the delicate balance of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). This balance, in a twisted way, kept major powers from direct conflicts. While the world has changed, the basic principle remains: a nuclear power engaging in direct conflict with another nuclear power carries too high a risk.
It's not about ignoring the situation, but approaching it differently. For instance, rather than military aid, could we focus more on diplomatic and economic strategies to support Ukraine and stymie Russian aggression?
@9GZJJXF5mos5MO
Ukraine has been committing a genocide against Russians since 2014, and had killed 14,000 civilians up to the date of Feb 24, 2022 (when Russia launched the Special Military Operation). We cannot support mass murder.

The Ukrainian government has release reports detailing its own corruption, they have fired multiple government officials for corruption, and the aid which we provide is clearly not having an effect on their ability to win the war given their recent lack of progress.

We have spent $113 Billion on Ukrainian aid. Take into account now how many smaller issues could be dealt with the paid for with only millions of those dollars. We gain nothing from pumping money into this war that is at a stand still and we only aggravate Russia and lessen the chances of peace.

This conflict decides if Russia can continue. Thankfully Russia is momentarily incapacitated but we should do everything possible to help countries under attack. After all, that's exactly what we signed up for when we became the largest military power on this earth.
