I believe it was purely for reasons of expansion. I don’t know exactly what our response should have been, but we need to at least acknowledge that Ukraine is defending their sovereignty and Putin/Russia are the aggressors. We should support them at least minimally.
When my ex girlfriend broke up with me I saw her talking to my old enemy mark. What was I supposed to do? I had to start beating her. It was marks fault, he made me do it. He’s equally at fault here. Now I just want to cut off her fingers. This would be over and she’d stop fighting me if mark just would stop trying to help her up. I need her to give me some part of her, and promise to never talk to mark or any of his friends ever again. This is mark’s fault as much as it is mine. If he didn’t help her she’d have given up a part of her body to me and and agreed to never talk to anyone without my approval again. Otherwise she will suffer. Christ that is sick.
