I am Ukrainian and you disgust me. When you speak about “US war machine” and “most insane agendas of the war machine” who do you think you are? I always wonder about you guys on the “progressive” or “left” or whatever that side of the spectrum is called this days in the US. Are you so blatantly clueless or actually that brazenly imperialistic about the US that you think that it is only YOUR country that calls the shots and matters in the world? Why is it always just US’ hawkish policies that seem to be at root of all problems?

the US arming Ukraine and actively (i.e. militarily) supporting the country is one of the things that gives hope and keeps the nation going. Of course it creates risks, of course it may lead to an escalation (although talking about this conflict leading to a global military conflict is demagogic and statistically preposterous). But this would be not because of the US, but because of Russia responding to it for no justifiable reason. [And just in case this is a debatable point for you — than I surrender, you are indeed clueless, if not an [in]voluntary agent of Russian propaganda.]

I would very much want to see someone to come up with a sollution that would be both non-agressive and would not undermine sovereignty of our country. But so far I did not see any, especially not from your camp, guys. The best you could come up with so far is just to continue spitting out lies of Russian propaganda about radical far right and fascist coup in Ukraine orchestrated by the US/West. [Again, if you conisder this even an iota of a credible statement — you have utterly no clue what you are talking about. And are much more racist and chauvinistic towards Ukrainians as an average trump supporter is about the minorities in the US.]
