    Ask yourself what the alternative is and what a successful outcome for Russia will enable for Putin! Then ask yourself what that means for Europe. Finally ask yourself what upheaval of a European market will do to an American economy and America’s ability to make its influence felt across the world.

    Helping Ukraine is far cheaper.

        Did North Vietnam win over the USA? There’s a good communist counter-example for my hexbear comrades!

        And also, whether Ukraine can win (probably not) is less consequential to Europe than it is to Ukraine. But the cost of Russia’s assumed victory is helping to determine whether Russia wants to try again, against another country.

      You can finance this slaughter yourself, thank you very much.

        I don’t know which country you think I’m from, but all the countries I have a citizenship in are financing Ukraine plenty.

        You can finance this slaughter right now, or you can finance your own slaughter later.

        Your choice.
