Yea, this whole “matters that don’t concern us” take is really scary to me. It scares me that people don’t want to learn from history and realize that it eventually will.
It scares me that people fail to understand this. Look, no one is suggesting that Americans, or other NATO countries should put their “boots on the ground” in the Ukraine war. But fuck, give them all the weapons they need asap. Stop being a bunch of pussies in deciding whether to give weapons to Ukraine or not. If they had gotten all the weapons they needed sooner, there’s a good chance this war would have been over.
Honestly, I’ve always refused to believe that “most” people are anything (ie., dumb, evil, etc). I But if does put things in question for me that so many people voted for Trump.
I find it sad that the only thing the typical American is concerned with is the price of gas. It makes me realize that the whole concept of “never again” is unrealistic, because people will always be unapologetically selfish and will refuse to learn from history.
I really really hope I’m wrong.
I agree! Regardless of what Zelensky critics say, I don’t think anyone can deny that Zelensky’s PR game is on point.
But yeah, as a Ukrainian living in the US, having to witness all of this go down is very difficult, to say the least. But that in now way compares to my relatives, who live in Ukraine under constant bomb threats, have to endure.
I wish some of these “aMeRiCa FiRsT” individuals understood this.
It’s funny because I’m sure he didn’t mean to be as snarky in that comment. “Costume” means “suit” in Ukrainian and Russian.
