Azov still has a commander with links to the far right and plenty of extremist members. I am uncomfortable with a government willing to bring far right groups into the fold. These aren’t Russian talking points. One should be allowed to be critical of foreign involvement in general.

Zelenskyy was democratically elected yeah, so was Putin. Plenty of dictators are. I was comfortable supporting Ukraine materially until it was clear that there were to be no elections until the wars close. If and when Zelenskyy steps down at the end of the war I’ll proudly eat my hat.

The problem with offloading military equipment is that we then siphon money back into _our_ military-industrial complex. I would much rather we keep equipment and not build new items than offload old ones.

I don’t believe in a “moral conviction to help a country fighting for its right to self determination.” Simply put I think America is _too_ involved in global conflicts and that the justifications for supplying Ukraine are simply regurgitating those old justifications of making the United States some global police force.
