I never said I didn’t care about the suffering of other people. I said I don’t care about Ukraine.
I’ve read the CIA world fact book entry on it; I’ve listened to a lot of the rhetoric, and I just fail to see any interest there compelling enough to make me support war with Russia.
If “suffering” is the bar for involvement, why didn’t we do anything about Rwanda?
Why is it unethical for me not to support involvement in yet another war, when I’ve been lectured for the last two decades about how bad it is for my country to go to war. Seems like cherry picking.
The American public is tired of wars and the USA is not in financial shape to begin a multi trillion dollar war, especially if there is no compelling national interest. If Europe cares, let them fight the war.
If Putin attacks a NATO country then we should fulfill our treaty obligations.
Other than that, we can’t fix all the problems in the world.
Besides, we are extremely likely to end up in a war with China when they invade Taiwan; we do have a national interest there (semiconductor fabrication) and we can’t afford to be bogged down in Ukraine with that looming.
