    I’m aware. What little Ukraine had to start with is more than any collective group of counter protesters in the USA have access to right now. They also had sovereignty that world powers could throw weight behind. What world power is going to sponsor US citizens to fight their own government?

    These aren’t excuses, this is reality.

      Counterpoint, there are more firearms in possession of the American civilian populace than there were in the Ukrainian military during the February invasion.

      If the American politiy doesn’t want to be governed, it’s going to take a whole lot of concentration camps to make it governable.

      You won’t get support until you organise and resist. It’s pretty simple. Ukraine didn’t have a backer either. People had their kids and Baba’s filling glass bottles with styrofoam.

      You’ll never gain my support again, ever. Allowing threats of annexation of Canada and silence from all of 'murica on that subject. Instigation of economic warfare on us was just another strike. Now it’s the complicity of the American people to complete fascism and arguments against doing anything to stand up for yourselves and your neighbors.

      I’ll meet you at the border though when they press you into service for the water wars. No matter how prepared I am.
