Is there anything more we can do to stop the genocide of Ukrainians?

Or is it that we have just done all we can do?

I wonder if the world would just let Americans get bombed at train stations and throw their hands up in the air and state we just can’t help. A crazy assed mother fucker has nukes.

So what is it?

Here is what I will not support. Discussions that call for escalation of the war. Escalation to me would likely cause a lot more death. It very likely would spill into other regions nearby. It could result in death here in the U.S. which I do not support.

What answer were you looking for?

5. It's not like they can send us weapons, we are already stocked with the best weapons.

I don’t see anyone putting troops from other countries here. It’s not just America. If the world cannot stop the geocide of a people what does that say about our humanity or morality.

On edit: my comment is in reference to other countries helping us if someone bombed us.
We can and should do more and everything we can do help the people of Ukraine and I’ve been saying that for months here.

Sometimes the right thing is hard to do, that doesn't mean it isn't right.

7. We can send more and bigger weapons. Ukraine is skillfully using everything they get.

They're performing a valuable service for us. A service well worth paying for. Every Russian they kill is one we won't have to kill.

The best possible thing that could happen to Ukraine right now - and, frankly, Russia.

11. It's a horrible slaughter of civilians, among other war crimes. But it's not genocide.

12. Do you have a list of people you are ok with dying for this war?

Can we have it? Does it include friends, family, and children?

Are you on it?

Please let us know.

Otherwise, this constant pro-war grousing and admonishment of others who do not want spreading death isn't very sincere.
