@[email protected] Can't blame the US for wanting to get some value for all the treasure they've spent on the Ukraine project.
“Completely humiliate Russia by giving Ukraine our old stuff sitting on shelves that costs us basically nothing but the shipping to Europe; not risking any of our soldiers; restarting munitions production lines to refill our stock with new, even better weapons that fuels US job growth and innovation” should be enough already. The amount we’ve given Ukraine is less than just a few days cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. It’s like the deal of the millennium. We should be sending Ukraine everything we can.

What threat does Russia pose to us, and why should we care about Ukraine? It's a border dispute and none of anyone's business apart from the protagonists!

Are you just trying to bait me or are you actually interested in a conversation? I’m happy to discuss further, but right now I feel like your goal is just to rile me up for internet points.

No simply trying to know if you have facts on your side of the discussion. Why would I bait you to rile you up? That's not my style, although I've experienced it personally, especially on Lemmy.world.

That’s what the US said during WWII
Then they said, "Oh God. The Germans were supposed to defeat those commies but now the commies are on track to win the entire war themselves!"
So they jumped in, fought less than 20% of the Nazis, got to Berlin long after the Russians liberated it, and then claimed that the US are the anti-fascist heroes after dropping nukes on hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians while in the middle of a negotiation with Japan.
Don't forget the kicker: they justified it afterwards by saying they needed them to surrender unconditionally while the US (purposely) set conditions similar to those Japan was already agreeing to before the bombings. And of course kkkrakkkers still eat that up to this day.
