Thanks for sharing! My question is based on how the "general public" will feel for Russia.

I understand that. But metaphorically speaking, it sounds like whispering going on in a girl's high school locker room about whether a new girl in school will be "accepted into the fold".

There's no whispering in my question. Only reality.

"Reality"? Whose? How can anyone form a judgment on something they don't know all the facts about? It's easy to follow the crowd, even when they don't know where they're going.

1465 - What exactly are your ties to Russia? Why do you keep refusing to answer? Is it too embarrassing?

1465, the reality of Ukrainians dying in war, unjustly. In what world are you living in to not make this judgment?

For all of you deniers, you have too soon forgotten how Ukraine's corruption was exposed in 2015 when they paid Hunter Biden huge sums for a job he was nowhere near qualified for - just to buy access to then VP Joe Biden. But then, you don't consider Biden to be corrupt, do you? As for Russia, things have changed a lot since it was the Soviet Union playing the old Spy vs Spy game of "Cold War". But the US has maintained them to be perpetual enemies nonetheless. Not to say that they should be trusted with US national secrets, but let's let the dark ages stay in the dark ages. The only reason Ukraine is being seen as the girl next door is that the West's perpetual enemy Russia is involved. The West talks about people's right to sovereignty until that sovereignty favors Russia. Then the citizens' only "right" is to be forced to stay in a country they don't want to be. The people of Donbas want to be part of Russia. They were Russians before the fall of the Soviet Union and they want to go back. Again, where is the respect for Sovereignty that the West speaks of? You people who are siding with Ukraine are siding with the country that was corrupt as recently as the campaign for the 2016 election. Did they change all of a sudden? Why does Russia's involvement make all of the difference? Do you even KNOW??? Or are you supporting Ukraine because that's who you're being told is "the good guy"? It must be great to live in a fantasy world where every day brings a new experience.

Thanks for sharing another answer. The rallies in support of Ukraine have spread all over the US. It is a good start to spread the word of: "Save Ukraine."
