The libs are pro war for aiding Ukraine, but in the same breath...?

Are you really pretending there's no difference between assisting a country in defending itself from an aggressor, and starting your own war as the aggressor?

My comment is calling out republican hypocrisy in calling the left pro war, not literally making that point.

Sound comment, but unfortunate ambiguous meaning got punished by people who gave you no leeway. In reddit I got a 3-day ban for something like this. Lemmy for the win.

Russia and their ilk are the only ones that are pro war in Ukraine. Libs are pro Ukraine, which involves defending them from the Russian invasion. If at anytime, Russia agreed to (and actually did it) pull all troops including the land they stole, almost all libs would be happy.

On the flip side, DeSantis wants to start a war and be the aggressor. Support of that is fucked up and deranged, which is why a large number of conservatives support it.

I'm pointing out republican hypocrisy in calling the left pro war and also wanting to invade Mexico, which was the implication with "in the same breath."

Pretty sad that there are so many Pro-Russia shills on this site that this seemed like the least likely interpretation of your comment..

Are you honestly that confused? Do you really think this is some kind of gotcha?

Russia invaded their smaller neighbor for a made up reason.

DeSantis is suggesting invading our smaller neighbor for an equally made up reason.

We don't like either scenario. I would be just as supportive of Mexico getting military aide from other nations as I am about Ukraine getting military aide from other nations.
