    Firstly, I’d like to warn you: you’re on [email protected] . You’re not going to find many friends here.

    Secondly, I gotta say: I can’t help but notice some questions very conspicuously absent from your list. Very important questions, too.

    • How many civilians have died in Russian airstrikes?
    • How many Russian weapons have been destroyed or intercepted by lend-leased military equipment?
    • How many people would those weapons have killed?
    • How many Ukrainian civilians’ lives would have to be saved for their salvation to be worth 10% of America’s military budget?

    If a capitalist wanted me to hand a sandwich to a homeless man, and was rolling the cameras and spewing propaganda about how this couldn’t happen in a communist country… I would still hand the sandwich to the homeless man.

    Because a man’s gotta eat, you know? His needs don’t change because some monster has an agenda that gets fulfilled when his needs are met.

      Thank you, your answer was very valuable to me. It’s helped me get a better perspective on the problem. I have a tendency to cold-bloodedly redirect the trolley, you know? I feel that’s the right thing, but I respect your humanity here.
