    @lily33 @theunknownmuncher The best way we can help Ukraine is by removing outside influences from both sides. What is being portrayed as a war in Ukraine is really a proxy war between Russia and the US that was egged on by the US. This is most unwise given that both nations are armed to the teeth with nukes. We really should be looking at ways to de-escalate not escalate this war.

          Well considering the US said they would defend Ukraine from Russia when Ukraine got rid of there nukes. Yah kind of hand tied with Russia invading.

            Only problem being that Ukraine never had nukes. USSR had nukes that were stationed on the territory of Ukraine. When USSR dissolved, Russia became the successor state and inherited the nukes. This has never been in dispute.

        I love how libs are utterly incapable of engaging with reality thinking that if they just repeat this mantra enough times it’ll happen.
