I mean, our money is funding this war instead of our own health care, so yeah, I think our people have every right to criticize if they want to.
And besides, it wasn’t that long ago that people were saying these same things about Iraq and Afghanistan, and we later learned our money was grossly misused and corruption rampant.
Stories have already circulated about corruption in the Zelensky government.
Unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, which were immoral American misadventures, this is a Russian misadventure, and supporting the Ukrainians is pushing back against aggression.
I don’t know why you added the sarcasm tag, because it’s true.
There has been extensive reporting of corruption in Zelensky’s government, which always seems to be the case when the US is involved. The only difference is this time we’ve swapped out Saddam Hussein and Hamid Karzai for a white gentleman who’s easier to market to the masses.
If you had anything real to say you’d be linking to it or even talking about specific examples. Instead it’s “there’s stories”, “there’s been reporting”.
It’s also an armchair ethicist with absolutely no skin in the game wagging their finger at an underdog, outmanned, and outgunned country defending itself from a blatant foreign invasion.

Want to provide sources for those claims boss? I need to see this “extensive reporting”.
Yeah, Russia says a lot, and also pays right wing news a hefty sum in order to report their bullshit.

The “right” to criticize was never infringed on, the criticism is just being ridiculed by the public.
I get that, and that’s fine.
We’re a warmongering country and it stands to reason that anyone criticizing the war of the week will not be looked upon favorably. I get it.
