    “Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own” is often a manipulative way to say “let’s allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own”.

    And I’m sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.

      The USA shouldn’t be funding wars abroad when it’s own people are starving and homeless. This is not xenophobia. That is common sense. The USA shouldn’t be funding wars period, actually.

          Ukraine has a right wing government that dissolved all the other parties and which has Nazis platoons. That is fascism. The USA is funding fascism in Ukraine while Russia is trying to denazify it.

          There was also a U.S. funded genocide happening in Dombass and Crimea that the Russians stopped. The USA doesn’t help against oppression. The USA exports oppression.

            It has a democratically elected government and it banned a small minority of parties that were collaborating with an invading military, as its pre-existing constitution allowed for.

            Russia isn’t de-Nazifying shit. Russia is grabbing up valuable land and creating a vassal state. The “de-Nazifying” line is blatant marketing to sell its imperialism.
