How is conquest of Ukraine diametrically opposed to the interests of USA?

> They are the adversary of USA because they directly seek to oppose USA and the rules based world order it leads

How so?

> I know that if China invaded Florida, I would be very comfortable with UK sending USA weapons for as long as USA wants to try to fight the foreign invaders.

USA is more powerful than China in military - not to mention UK is an ally of USA. And sure, it's up to the invaded country, but at a certain point countries don't want to keep sending money into a blackhole.

> Are you being serious? I’m sorry if you are, I just find it hard to imagine someone who is generally aware of the world could think this, especially since they are known Russian propagandists talking points

It's so easy to call something a Russian propagandist talking point or Russian bot instead of actually addressing points. Let's have a discussion without resorting to calling the other side propagandists.

> To be clear: America is absolutely not suffering economically as a result of supporting Ukrainian resistance to Russian invasion.

I can't comment on America because I don't live there, but European countries have suffered hard. Especially by not buying gas from Russia. Our industrial economy takes a massive hit due to increase in power. A lot of residential houses pay a lot more for gas/heating/electricity - and those are European, already a lot poorer than the Americans.



> How is conquest of Ukraine diametrically opposed to the interests of USA

Wars of aggression in Europe are against the interests of the USA.

I’be been addressing your points. It’s just hard to take them seriously as known Russian propaganda.


So Europeans suffering due to increased energy cost is Russian propaganda?

You have not provided any reasoning, just talking points.


I have supplied reason after reason for why supporting Ukraine is in the interests of USA.
