Is Ukraine worth fighting for?

As everyone knows there is a nasty war of attrition going on in Ukraine and Ukraine tragically is losing about 10 soldiers for every 1 soldier that Russia is losing. That makes the war unsustainable but still the question remains "Is Ukraine worth fighting for". I honestly don't care which side 'wins' or which side 'loses. I simply prefer that the war stop immediately. It should never have started. That aside I was able to share a baptism event on the North Saskatchewan River here in Central Alberta. I traditionally associate Ukrainians with the Orthodox or Catholic tradition but this was a Pentecostal service. There were about 100 military age Ukrainian refugees at the service. I didn't get much of what was being said as the service was in Ukrainian led by a pastor who left Ukraine 2 years ago. Most everyone there had left in a similar time frame. Everyone I spoke to said that they did not want to return to Ukraine. Oh and most of them had their wife and children with them. Interesting times we live in. I wonder what it must be like in Poland and Germany where many more Ukrainians are taking refuge.

@Submissiveiendencies yes! let’s start by providing resources for the homeless, single mothers and fathers, sick people who can’t afford their medical bills, etc. or do you just mean SOME americans?

@crownedwithlaurel97 no, that's socialism. We don't need that

@deadgerbil right, we wouldn’t want to ACTUALLY help people

@crownedwithlaurel97 that's the ironic thing. People think they're really smart in saying we need to look after Americans first instead of spending money abroad, but they never actually want to do that.

And it's ignorant in general considering this money to Ukraine is a small fraction of what the US spends on defense in general 💀 more than enough money to go around without their stupid excuses

@deadgerbil i’m wondering where they want this money to go instead

@crownedwithlaurel97 why not use it to support more trickle down economics,,,
crownedwithlaurel97 · 26-30, F
@deadgerbil i have an idea, what if we give it to rich people!
deadgerbil · 22-25
@crownedwithlaurel97 yeah, let's also say we're against the elites while supporting big businesses in which the elites get their power from
