Do you think the US's involvement in Ukraine is somehow getting us FURTHER away from war with Russia? What kinda braindead take is that.

For a paper tiger though, the Russian Army has certainly proven that it is capable of plenty of death and destruction. Also they still have nukes, so we didn't intervene in the same way that we did when Saddam tried pulling off the same thing.

I do think supporting Ukraine is the right thing to do from a moral and geopolitical perspective. That said, it's being very willing to open the coffers of the United States for a foreign country, while the nation itself suffers that is the slap in the face.
If we can support Ukraine, we can support the working people of America too, who are our foundation and future.

You mean the billions worth of 40-30 year old equipment that your tax dollars were being spent to keep it in storage?
Just speaking as someone who lives in Irvington, but I'm ok with old Cold War and Post Cold War equipment being used to its purpose.

In terms of severity and extreme ethno-centric ideology? No, not as bad. Willing to slaughter millions of innocent people in a genocide? No, not quite there either.
In terms of belligerance against other nations to prop up their own authoritarian regime while committing loads of war crimes? Yeah, kind of on par. And that matters.
Your ideology is stupid and regressive.

I certainly don't mean to disparage all Ukrainians, that's not my goal. But Nazis are a proud part of the ukrainian government and military and they openly glorify nazi collaborators. There are hundreds and hundreds of images of Ukrainians soldiers with nazi tattoos, doing the nazi salute, etc. The entire world openly reported on this for years but now that the Russians use that as a justification for their invasion, everybody in the west is trying to pretend that the whole thing never happened.

So nice of you to overlook the existence of the Wagner Group. Yep, totally no Nazis in Russia. Those non-existent Nazis totally aren't recruiting literal rapists and murderers and giving them military training, whom are getting direct pardons from Putin for their service.
Do you actually think, or are you just spewing out the words that Daddy Putin whispered to you while you were busy gargling on his balls?

Yeah man. Clearly this is all bringing us closer to war with Russia. They're obviously just biding their time and withholding soldiers and equipment just in case they decide to go full send and try to take on all of NATO directly. It couldn't possibly be true that the war is crippling Russia more and more by the day, draining the male population that hasn't already fled, and it obviously hasn't depleted what few stockpiles of military equipment they had.
If Russia decided to directly attack the US or another NATO country, Article 5 would be invoked and then the Russian military would be functionally nonexistent in a couple of weeks.
