Because the only one who wins in a war is the military industrial complex, and they have fantastic lobbyists!

It makes me sad that they're having to conscript the youth of Ukraine. What if it was my kid? What if it was me?

I hope they can end this fast!

What an interesting thing to say. Why would you think that I'm not?

Some people think in simple binaries, and lump people into groups based on who they believe holds a certain view.

Say anything negative about Israel, you must be pro-Hamas.

Say anything negative about Biden, you must be pro-Trump.

Say anything 'negative' about Ukraine (even something as simple as that Ukraine's youth being conscripted and dying is horrible), you must be pro-Russia.
