You have several options.

Not just for or against.

Only a moron would side with Russia.

At the same time........not a single American service member should ever be placed in a Russian rifle sight.
...unless you want to be an extra on the tv news that always played in the background during the beginning of The Day After.

So far here is my mental list of villains who have openly sided with Russia:
  • Laura Ingraham
  • Glenn Greenwald
  • Tulsi Gabbard
  • JD Vance
  • Cucker Tarlson
  • That reality TV dude who was briefly POTUS
  • Jacobin Magazine
  • Candace Owens (she partly walked it back)
How heartwarming that being a shitty person can transcend ideology and political party.

In Russia with reversed circumstances, all these people would be arrested and some poisoned. Some may be killed. People need to think about that way before they support a murderous dictator with no Godly reason to invade Ukraine.

Everyone on that list speaks that way for political advantage here at home. I hope they all lose that gamble.

I am surely in the minority but I would be support of the US being willing to fight. We should not let Putin bully anything - including us. Which is what he is doing. Threatening the US with nukes if we get involved. We should NEVER give in to this type of bullshit. Innocent people are being murdered today, openly, by a government. We have the power to stop them and Americans instead are too scared to be involved.

Putin has always been the enemy of America, except for Trump. Always will be. To side with another country other than your own is disgusting. It is right up there with trying to overthrow an election.

To all you people who would overthrow democracy to keep a president who lost in power, and who stand with Russia are traitors to your country. You are not patriots. The illegals in this country are more American than you traitors will ever be.

I’m for America and our non-involvement in becoming entangled in the affairs of others. Europe has had 70 years to rebuild and set up a defense. It’s their problem not ours to lead. I have no problem offering support from the backseat, but what warhawks here want is dick- wagging ball -swinging military ops.-NoThanks

No one with any influence in the United States has suggested we should go to war with Russia.

Don’t act surprised when the first Special Forces operators start coming home in pine boxes.

I see one person on that neutral list that is constantly hating on San Francisco but he just can't bring himself to side with a country that is currently being invaded.

Let that sink in.

Clearly for Ukraine, I feel for them and wish them the best but right now it's not looking good. :(

I am against any aggressor. I would much prefer peace though.. and in this case it is a pure land grab by an narcissistic authoritarian.

Where has Jacobin "openly sided with Russia"?

Well, let's start with the tweets where they just spent the past month gaslighting the world about the threat from Russia, and blamed America for overreacting:
1645745587661.png


Here they are a couple weeks later blaming Ukraine's democracy on "US-backed, far-right extremists."


And then let's move on to the overt instances where they called for appeasement and just giving Putin what he wants. Less than 24 hours ago:


The thing to understand about midwit tankies like Jacobin is that they are not anti-war or anti-imperialism in any meaningful sense. They LOVE war and imperialism, which is why they have been parroting Russian pretexts for an invasion. Nor are they motivated by a love of socialism: Putin is a right-wing crony capitalist fascist thug, and doesn't even pretend to be otherwise. Their true north star is that they just hate America and will side with whoever is on the opposite side of any conflict. They are the flipside of the narcissistic "American exceptionalists" on the right...they are people who lack self-esteem and just want to self-flagellate about how everything in the world is their fault. Not everything is about America.

TLDR: Jacobin Magazine are deplorable ****ing idiots.

In principle I am neutral, but in truth my sympathies lie with the Russians. While I'm sure there are plenty of fine people, on both sides as it were, the Russians are fighting against globalist liberalism while the Ukrainians are (objectively) fighting for it.
