Seems the board leftists are big time rooting for Ukraine.

I tend to support the people defending themselves from Democrat/Communist oppressors.
Democrats need to kick each other in the crotch for helping Biden get in the WH.....because he is the primary cause of all of this.
You can answer the question this time.

Who are you rooting for: Russia or Ukraine?
 
I’m not necessarily saying it’s our fight. I’m saying I don’t like innocent people getting killed because one asshole decided to invade another country.

Of course conservatives don’t care about that, comrade.

Lots of bad things happen all over the world. We can't do anything about the vast majority of them, and it is folly, at best, to allow them to distract us away from caring about our own country's problems.

But distracting away from our own country's problems appears to be the primary motive that the Democraps have for trying to drag us into this conflict; to divert our attention away from the Democraps' own domestic policies, and the disastrous impacts that these policies are having on on us here at home.
 


The U.S. Helped Overthrow Ukraine’s Elected President

During the tug of war between the U.S. and Russia, the Americans were engaged in a destabilization campaign against the Yanukovych government. The campaign culminated with the overthrow of the elected president in the Maidan Revolution—also known as the Maidan Coup—named for the Kiev square that hosted the bulk of the protests.

As political turmoil engulfed the country in the leadup to 2014, the U.S. was fueling anti-government sentiment through mechanisms like USAID and National Endowment for Democracy (NED), just as they had done in 2004. In December 2013, Nuland, assistant secretary of state for European affairs and a long-time regime change advocate, said that the U.S. government had spent $5 billion promoting “democracy” in Ukraine since 1991. The money went toward supporting “senior officials in the Ukraine government…[members of] the business community as well as opposition civil society” who agree with U.S. goals.

Washington Used Nazis to Help Overthrow the Government

The Washington-backed opposition that toppled the government was fueled by far-right and openly Nazi elements like the Right Sector. One far-right group that grew out of the protests was the Azov Battalion, a paramilitary militia of neo-Nazi extremists. Their leaders made up the vanguard of the anti-Yanukovych protests, and even spoke at opposition events in the Maidan alongside U.S. regime change advocates like McCain and Nuland.

After the violent coup, these groups were later incorporated into the Ukrainian armed forces—the same armed forces that the U.S. has now given $2.5 billion. Though Congress technically restricted money from flowing to the Azov Battalion in 2018, trainers on the ground say there’s no mechanism to actually enforce the provision. Since the coup, the Ukrainian nationalist forces have been responsible for a wide variety of atrocities in the counterinsurgency war.

There’s a Lot More to the Crimean Annexation

The facts above give more context to Russian actions following the coup, and ought to counter the caricature of a Russian Empire bent on expansion. From Russia’s point of view, a longtime adversary had successfully overthrown a neighboring government using violent far-right extremists.

The Crimean peninsula, which was part of Russia until it was transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1954, is home to one of two Russian naval bases with access to the Black and Mediterranean seas, one of history’s most important maritime theaters. A Crimea controlled by a U.S.-backed Ukrainian government was a major threat to Russian naval access.

The peninsula—82% of whose households speak Russian, and only 2% mainly Ukrainian—held a plebiscite in March 2014 on whether or not they should join Russia, or remain under the new Ukrainian government. The Pro-Russia camp won with 95% of the vote. The UN General Assembly, led by the U.S., voted to ignore the referendum results on the grounds that it was contrary to Ukraine’s constitution. This same constitution had been set aside to oust President Yanukovych a month earlier.

The U.S. Wouldn’t Tolerate What Russia Is Expected to Accept

Much has been written about the Russian buildup on the Ukraine border. Reports of the buildup have been intensified by U.S. intelligence officials’ warnings of an attack. Media often echo the claim of an inevitable invasion. The Washington Post editorial board (1/24/22) wrote that “Putin can—and will—use any measures the United States and its NATO allies either take or refrain from taking as a pretext for aggression.”

But Putin has been clear about a path to de-escalation. His main demand has been for direct negotiations to end the expansion of the hostile military alliance to his borders. He announced, “We have made it clear that NATO’s move to the east is unacceptable,” and that “the United States is standing with missiles on our doorstep.” Putin asked, “How would the Americans react if missiles were placed at the border with Canada or Mexico?”

In corporate media coverage, no one bothers to ask this important question. Instead, the assumption is that Putin ought to tolerate a hostile military alliance directly across its border. The U.S., it seems, is the only country allowed to have a sphere of influence.

I just said that I’m not necessarily saying that it’s our fight. I said I’m rooting for the innocent people who have been invaded.

You realize that rooting for someone doesn’t necessarily mean involving ourselves in their conflict, right?

I can root for the 49ers without intending to take the field.

Rooting for and taking action are two very different things. You keep bringing up the latter. Do I need to list more examples of the difference?

You would fall on your face and cry like a baby if Russia came at you. You aren't fit to serve Ukrainians coffee. Coward leftist trash.

Blah blah blah. Let me know when Gatewaypundit tells you what to think so you can answer that simple question.
 
if you are not pulling for Ukraine...you are supporting a mad man in Putin. MAGA has become a Putin propaganda arm. RT is using the words of trump and pompeo to prop up Putin's war.
Putin’s propaganda sounds more like the lefts. Justify actions by calling the other side a Nazi.
 
I don't have a dog in the Russia/Ukraine fight, so I'm not rooting for either side.
I'm rooting for individual liberty and personal responsibility, so I'm rooting against the democrat party and its feckless, incompetent leadership.
