      The proposal also includes $6 billion in aid for Ukraine.
      […]
      “Well look, Russia invaded Ukraine and I think if they are allowed to get way with that and the United States does not support Ukraine it will simply embolden Russian imperialism and create a never ending crisis in Europe,” Sanders says.

      He does not appear to be against their aid too, no.

      Source, and again. Not American, but this Sanders guy seems alright.

        Not disagreeing, even if I don’t agree on everything he stands for, generally he’s a cool dude who I wouldn’t mind running things.

          What has he said about policy that you disagree with? He’s only ever been pro-working class. Single payer healthcare, government subsidized college, and the wealthy elites paying their actual fair share of taxes so we can do these things. Maybe fix the roads while we’re at it.

            That’s a good question. It could be that very little. In my defense, I’m not american so my ignorance in this case does not have an impact.

            My feeling is that he’s more anti-market than I am, and possibly a bit less critical of “woke”.

          There’s literally no one in the world you’ll agree with 100% of the time.

      Different situation. Ukraine needs the aid to defend its self, Israel wants it to wipe out Gaza.

        They don’t even need it. The aid is a tacit approval from the US saying how far they can go before their actions become completely indefensible in global politics.

        All the evidence suggests that they’re trying to wipe out Hamas, but that’s too big of a problem to handle gracefully.

          No. > 70% of the dead being women and children and elderly suggests that no, they’re trying to inflict as much death and destruction upon the Palestinians as they can get away with.
