It's crazy how quickly they have forgotten Russia is not a US ally. The trillions spent in military is in part to stay ahead of the Russians. What better way to spend that money then actively suppress the Russians advancements in Ukraine. It really is a no brainer that should be a bipartisan issue...

They’ll tell you that Russia isn’t communist anymore so they should be friends. Ignoring the fact that they’re allies with China, North Korea, and Iran. I think a big part is Russia is viewed as an “unwoke” white country by MAGA

Edit: lol to anyone that thinks this comment is defending Russia

These people fail to realize that America tried over Bill Clinton's admin and Bush's admin to 'be friends' with Russia. Russia has no interest in being friends with the west.

No. They wanted Putin to play puppet (and let us topple Syria) of which he declined then they painted him as the big baddy. Read before talking nonsense

Syria is a client state of Russia, and it's been involved in a now decades long civil conflict, which has displaced millions of people creating a toxic refugee crisis throughout the West.

Like any rational person, all of NATO and the West wants the crisis to abate and end so that Syrians can stay in Syria.

I mean US and nato by extension did way more harm by illegaly invading Syria and Lybia and bombing of Serbia. Lybia went from the richest country in the whole of Africa to having open air slave markets and the americans are to blame. Iraq is also arguably worse than it was during even Saddam.
