    We gave Ukraine 200 billion dollars in weapons, money, and military training. That isnt a gift. That is how that works and always has throughout history. Now I’m not saying they owe us everything but there is a debt there that should be repaid.

      Do you think average Ukrainians wanted to be drafted to fight America’s war?

        Do you think the average citizen of any country wants to fight any war?

          Yes, when they’re actually fighting for their own future instead of which bourgeoisie faction will exploit them. Revolutionary and anti-colonial wars tend to be extremely popular with the populace.

            The war is popular and well supported by the Ukrainians, as far as I am aware.

              as far as I am aware.

              The reason you aren’t aware of dissent is that Zelenskyy banned rival parties, took control of media outlets, and passed a law that makes opposing the war or supporting any territorial concessions imprisonable offense, which has been used against political activists.

              To be clear, Russia does the same things. The point isn’t to support the Russian or Ukrainian government, only that the US’s actions are opposed to the interests of the Ukrainian people.
