You don't have to be politically affiliated any which way to say to somebody, "I wish you the best of luck defending your homeland from invasion." I'll never understand how that statement is politically charged.

[@dammain1068]

To make it politically charged you just have to change the name of the country. Would you say the same thing to Iraq or maybe Afghanistan. Just something to think about.

[@JA-xk9pu]

Not necessarily. I would definitely say that to Iraq and Afghanistan for those who are opposing tyranny and fighting for freedom from extremists. It's really a matter of which side of fence you're standing on. Ukraine has put a firearm in their peoples hands because they had gotten rolled. Every nation or state (their is a difference) deserves the right to freedom and sovereignty.

We have ENOUGH issues at home where that money can be used to help our own citizens. If people like chad want to Volunteer to help people in Ukraine then you’re a great Human being to do so, but do not say “we lack compassion “ just because we would rather see our tax dollars put to use AT HOME.

yea thats bullshit. stop falling for russian propaganda.

[@bsmithhammer]

I can understand that sentiment, but it's also a common misconception. We aren't sending them dollars, we are sending them arms. And the bulk of that is old technology by our standards. Much of it would also cost us more to dispose of than it is costing us to share it. Those outdated arms aren't going to do anything for anyone here at home. We are more than capable of doing a better job of addressing our issues at home while also supporting Ukraine - it isn't an either/or choice, or at least it doesn't have to be.

⁠Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) “The Past, Present, and Future of U.S. Assistance to Ukraine: A Deep Dive into the Data” There are no “blank checks” going to Ukraine. In fact, the only thing Ukraine has gotten from the US is decades old, obsolete hardware and munitions that, up until the Ukraine war began the US DOD was accepting bids for companies to come and dispose of it. $62B of a recent $67B “Ukraine Aid” package never left the U.S. and went directly to US DOD contractors in 71 US cities in 32 US states for new equipment for our troops. This $62B was taken from the $67B “Ukraine Aid” package to “pay ourselves back” for the obsolete hand me downs we sent to Ukraine. The US Government is in no position to be calling anyone in the Ukraine government corrupt.

We have our own issues here and my family to take care of. After the debacle of Iraq and Afghanistan I knew from day 1 this was just another way for the politicians to make war monger money.

[@Mygg_Jeager]

You realize that makes you look like the bad guy, right? You volunteer by choice to fight in a foreign war of aggression in someone else's country, for America... but then when another country comes to ask America for help fighting a foreign aggressor that's invading their country, you turn your back on them. You volunteered for the wrong war my friend. I understand war fatigue and bitter resentment at being lied to by your government. But how you live your life moving forward is how you will be judged in the end. I work in healthcare, so an analog for me, would be me refusing to treat anyone ever again, if I accidentally killed someone in the past. Failing to learn from our mistakes and move forward in life only compounds the damage of our past decisions, it doesn't mitigate it. Just something for you to think about, I ain't saying you're evil or anything like that. Just leveling with you as a fellow adult man who's also seen some shit in his time.

I think not enough nuance is discussed, especially among many of us that are probably right-leaning. That's why I really enjoyed this conversation. We need to remember multiple things can be true at once, we don't need to hate Ukraine just because we don't want to send so much money with no endgame strategy. Some nuanced things that are true: 1. Russia is intentionally targetting and murdering civilians 2. Both sides are sending out lots of propaganda 3. Ukraine is corrupt ( and Russia is also very corrupt) 4. We are probably sending too money that is lining the pockets of Ukrainian officials, US politicians, and the military industrial complex So no, fellow people on the right, just because Ukraine is corrupt doesn't mean Russia is good. Just because Ukraine might have poked the bear, doesn't mean Russia is justified in its invasion. Ukraine has a right to defend itself from its aggressor. Just because the politicians are lining their pockets with war doesn't mean there aren't real people, real innocent families being made to suffer in war that need our help and generosity. We can make our points about not sending a blank check to Ukraine without falling into a "Ukraine bad" mantra. We also don't need to virtue signal in support of Ukraine. We just need to look at the issue in terms of the US's interests in the area, and how we can maybe relieve some of the suffering going on.

[@slavajuri]

One problem with the aid discussion is that significant portions of US "aid to Ukraine" aren't actually for Ukraine, they're extra allotments for general NATO maneuvers in Eastern Europe. While these are technically relevant to the Ukrainian situation, you'd never actually see that impact on the ground directly. Further, the trouble with "they can't afford gear or med kits" just comes down to the reality of fighting a war without the proper structure in place to do so. Even aside from potential corruption, Ukraine has horrible Soviet-era bureaucracy problems that delay or obscure funds. The people in the system trying to do good are often fighting against other people in the system trying to do good because that's how inefficient bureaucracies usually work. Not to deny that corruption, deal-making, etc. hasn't been relevant, but even if the government spent its aid perfectly, ~$40b for a wartime economy of 40 million people really isn't that much money to work with. So I disagreed on most of that stuff. But thanks so much for a unique perspective and highlighting someone doing really great stuff in the world. I really enjoyed listening to this, even if it was very hard to hear at times.

@@overhead18 and zelenskyy ramped up that bombing in the donbass…. It’s a little like when Obama became president after bush. Now bush wasn’t voted out but Obama who didn’t vote for war ended up dropping many more bombs in the Middle East.

[@overhead18]

@@obamavariant9128 The Russians invaded Donbass and annexed Crimea in 2014, Zelenskyy was elected in 2019. It is nothing like Bush and Obama, as far as I recall no one invaded and claimed a piece of the US as the territory of a foreign government. I have a feeling if say Canada invaded Washington State we might drop some bombs on Canadian troops stationed in Washington state. At least I hope we would.

[@obamavariant9128]

@@overhead18 sure, but what if Mexico supported a coup that overthrew the American government and the north west declared independence after. Trigging a civil war where Canada supported the north west in separating from the new formed Mexican influence government. Then after claiming Alaska as Canada to keep them from falling under the new government. Right after agreeing to a peace agreement but the new America violates it but bombing the independent north west and killed civilians. Then Canada invades to protect the sovereignty of the north west. Nato destabilized the region then everything bad happened in Ukraine… does this sound familiar? Has American and nato done this before?

[@s_crylly7751]

Just as a point of focus, I wonder how much of this civilian execution and targeting is done by Russian regulars, vs. The infamous Wagner group and their prisoner conscription. Now I am not authority on the subject and have no basis of comparison for this thought, but with all of the conflicting evidence and reports on Russian soldiers and their.... behavior.... I can't help but think there is some blurring of the lines (as I'm sure we are all aware). I follow Willy OAM on KZbin, a journalist who spends alot of time interviewing soldiers on the front from both sides of the conflict and has spent time on the ground, and it seems from his testimony (among many others I have been trying to cross reference just for my own interest and understanding) that you get interactions that are cordial and professional (specifically from Russian paratroopers and other SOF groups in Russia) and then you get outright atrocities committed by Russian actors that are *often* never identified. It goes without saying I am not taking Russian government's side nor am I in any way implying that it is excusable no matter the circumstances. I just wonder if history will give us another shining example of why oversight and policing of your forces is necesarry, lest they be free to (or encouraged even) to do as they please in war time.

Compassion for people. Yet you walk past a dying Russian soldier, and the only thing you do is take his weapon and clear it. Seems to me you're for Ukraine and compassion doesn't extend to the Russians, just afraid to say it. It's fine if you are, I just don't like the righteous hypocrisy.

@@Xershade has nothing to do with that. He said it didn't matter what side, or where at in the world. I just care about people. Its bullshit. And I'm so tired of the virtue signaling grandstanding hypocrisy. You can defend it cause you're just another bent knee mouth opened fan boy, "yes, daddy," but it's all bullshit. When you claim to be what this man was. You apply it equally to both sides, cause it's not about sides. It's about people....... Even your enemy deserves the compassion you give your own. Honestly if you don't in my opinion makes you no better than the evil you claim to stand against. Miss me with your hypocritical righteous bullshit.

Where was everyone when Ukraine was shelling civilians in donbass for the last what? 7 yrs? Also it was well known until just recently that Ukraine had a nasi battalion. It was only the one group. Not the whole military. They are the azov battalion or something like that. They do not hide the fact either. There's been a couple documentaries on them so its not really a question of if they exist or not. Anyway he wants to help the people so thats great. Id rather give all that money to his organization than the Ukrainian government (who has undoubtedly also committed war crimes).

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

That's an incredible deed Chad did for the Fox Journalist. In the future, I do hope brave men like him come to question the war and understand why it happened and who is responsible. The fact is: while Russia has blood on their hands for the invasion...their actions are the culmination of 30 years of US-led NATO expansion since the fall of the USSR. The western states have repeatedly violated promises and made aggressive posture towards Russia on top of instilling regime change in Ukraine, and members within the DoD and intelligence warned against our Eastern Europe foreign policy. We can't act all shocked just because Russia finally decided to do something about it.

[@overhead18]

What "promises" were violated? Were the promises made by people authorized to make such guarantees? Was it in a treaty? What aggressive stance has NATO taken toward Russia, specifically? Attempting to discourage them from trying to reestablish the Russian empire is not aggressive, it is defensive.

[@a13xyarrhythmia38]

but now we have Finland joining Nato, and that's 1000kms of borderline with Russia ... so if russia was trying to stop nato expansion, they got exactly the opposite results...

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

@@overhead18 lol yes, it was HW Bush and his Secretary of State, James Baker's explicit promise to Gorbachev to not extend NATO one inch eastward of central Germany. Every president since has expanded NATO. Then we backed TWO coup d'etats within 10 years to establish pro-western leaders in Ukraine. Until they were right on Russia's front yard with weapon systems that are both offensive and defensive. The lie you are sold is that Putin is an tyrannical imperialist. The truth is that Russia's grievances have been ignored and theyve been forced to watch for 30 years as the US builds a military alliance outside its borders. The real imperialists are the US led west, and if the last 20 years of middle eastern conflict weren't enough to show you that, idk what to tell you. We had a plan to do regime change in 7 different arab nations and were successful with 3 of them.

[@Mygg_Jeager]

No it's not. NATO hasn't expanded in Asia and yet that hasn't stopped China from invading every single one of its neighbours in one way or another. Russia is doing the exact same thing, regardless of NATO. It's NATO's inaction that enabled this, not NATO's actions. You may as well blame Jeffrey Dahmer's landlord for Jeffrey Dahmer's crimes with that kind of faulty logic.
