    this is how a lot of “conservatives” feel but reversed… instead we don’t want to see either of these wars publicly funded while America’s resources are strained…

      Oh, you speak for conservatives huh?

      Then wake up: the vote for Ukraine aid was damn near down the middle. Once again, you don’t even know what your own party wants. And the american people, who they’re supposed REPRESENT, you know, as REPRESENTATIVES, feels overwhelmingly that the US should aid Ukraine.

      SO I think you should say: half of my party voted against aiding Ukraine, but the other half voted for it. Because THAT HALF AREN’T SIMPING FOR PUTIN.

      As a footnote, I find this “don’t want to see either of these wars publicly funded” - hilarious. Fuck that bullshit. Conservatives dragged the nation to war with Iraq over specious, ridiculous bullshit, and you want to suddenly espouse this? Constrained resources? Bush dragged us into Iraq while we were still hunting Bin Laden.

      Your hypocrisy and self ignorance are boundless.

        Yes, that is our half, the conservatives

        you want to suddenly espouse this?

        We have been espousing this consistently since (and against) Iraq, it is the policy of non-interventionism. The neo-“conservatives” are the ones who want the aggressive wars and to be “world police”

              Supporting Ukrainian freedom to prevent Europe spiraling into WW3 isn’t war mongering.

                Do you think possibly waging war by the U.S. being involved with Ukraine would make WW3 more likely? That’s what a lot of people think contrarily

                  I think it makes it less likely. If the Kremlin is stopped in Ukraine it makes it unlikely they’ll continue their aggression.

                  The comparison many people make to Czechoslovakia in 1939 is appropriate.

                  I think you are a pogue who’s willing to sell women and children to Putin if it makes your life a tiny bit simpler.

                  Despicable.

      America’s funds going to Ukraine wouldn’t be straining our resources if we also defunded our own wars against various nations who haven’t done anything to us.
