23. Your argument speaks for itself

It's the same one MAGA has used for years. Basically, let Russia take Ukraine as a "humanitarian option", because the war itself is so bloody.

Ignoring that Russia started it, Ukraine has the right and desire to defend themselves, that Russia will keep killing Ukrainians in captured territory even after the war ends because they'll be an occupation force, and that Russia will just rearm and come back in a few years for more.

Appeasement of a dictator is a game for fools.
