I’d hate it, but that’s irrelevant. Some things are worth fighting for, and the right to self determination of a free Ukraine is one of them.

So at last we have some one willing to come out and advocate for US intervention. Thank you. Firm, concrete stances that don’t amount to placards and virtue signals are all but nonexistent from the left on this board because it takes actual intellectual sand to post an idea and then defend it. Good for you.

Perhaps we are somewhere around 1938, just prior to Hitler’s stroll into Czechoslovakia and his assimilation of the Czech armaments industry into the Reich’s military production.


If you’re looking for a historical analogy to pre-WW2 then the closest “dress rehearsal” conflict would be the Spanish Civil War with Germany siding with Franco and the Soviets plus the west providing loose support to the rebels. Ukraine isn’t Spain and the Russians aren’t anywhere near the capability level that Hitler was.
