I doubt the reason "why" the west is supporting a genocide is a promise the current ceo of usa made as a child, especially given that the same policy has been going on for a century. I also doubt it has much to do with them being old since again the same war policies have been applied for a century.
True. As an outsider to US politics, it painfully obvious to me that the only difference between DEM and GOP is rhetoric, but when it comes to action, they all do the same thing.
EU politics is no different. It doesn't matter what the people want, "democratically elected leaders" will do what they want, or rather what they are told to do, regardless of what the people think.
Sure, that's why living conditions and human rights are so much better in Dem states than in Rep states lol come on now
Aside from one party trying to make being trans illegal, or trying to make pollution legal, or trying to cheat at elections, or ignoring global warming, or make abortion illegal, or crushing unions, or trying to defund Ukraine, or trying to teach creationism....
Do the Democrats have policy and action problems? Absolutely. Are they the same as the Republicans? Of course not.
Both red and blue parties are ruled by corrupted criminals with blood on their hands and that's enough not to want to vote for any of them.
Human rights have never been a US government priority, look at the war crimes they committed around the world and how they are supporting a genocide right now or look at their support for evil corporations and how little they care about poor people.
USA army is one of the biggest polluter in the world and the government has 0 plans to shut it down. The government has always been linked and tied to polluting companies.
The government has always cheat at elections, see how much money they spend on propaganda, mass surveillance and how they have a tight grip on media.
Ukrainian government is an authoritarian regime now seeking to repatriate these who fleed the country to force them to fight.
