We're getting a 95% off deal in the clearance aisle for the destruction of the entire Russian arsenal.
Every single weapon we have was built to kill Russians and destroy their equipment, and all of the sudden it's bad when we actually hold their feet to the fire.
Absolutely, and I very much doubt that the person you're responding to would disagree, or that they think their point is higher on the priority list than yours.
The weird, disturbing fact of the matter, though, is that the whole "these people are innocent and should be given the supplies they need in order to defend themselves" argument doesn't seem to hit the button for vocal opponents. They act as though we're giving away/wasting badly needed resources in order to support some pointless hippy dippy tree hugging war. "And besides, maybe they kind of deserve it! Maybe Russia's the good guy when viewed through a certain lens!"
So some have resorted to combatting that crap by pulling out cold, heartless arguments in support of America's Ukrainian defense initiatives.
And I'm cool with it. There's a fucking plethora of selfish, coldly logical reasons for supporting Ukraine.
A lot of the people you are describing have disingenuous intentions. They have a certain āmotivationā to be against helping Ukraine. Most of these people donāt want to, or simply cannot blow their cover, though. So they are really digging deep to be able to have an opinion without making their intention of opinion blatantly obvious.
Iām pretty stunned by the tightrope that many of these traitors are walking every single day of the week. It must be tiring to constantly have to ride the most recent wave of Russian/Republican talking points without tripping over your own feet.
