Traitor republican assholes see the noose coming soon and they are desperate to avoid it, even at the cost of every bit of their feigned patriotism. Even if Trump did somehow win the Presidency, he'd only stab them in the back. Republicans aren't capable of this enlightened self-interest because they're too busy pissing themselves in fear of the eternal fiery damnation they know they will soon be thrown into.
The recent aid package to keep the Ukrainian wartime economy afloat was also fantastic. Yeah, Europe may lack the MIC of the US, but that’s okay, because money can work too. Because you know who does have a really healthy, robust MIC? S Korea. You’ll just need money in order to buy from them, their generosity has limits, while their willingness to do business does not.
They do happen to have one of the largest artillery forces on the planet though, and an incredibly robust domestic manufacturing base.
So, multiple ways to tackle the problem, and we’ll probably want some of each.
The only man desperate enough to give a platform to Putin to spout lies. Ukraine existed before Russia and the people have no common thread.
Moscow was founded by Scandinavians who were later run out of existence by the Mongol hordes.
Kiev stayed under the rule of the Kievan Rus from who Russia later stole the name Russia based on some fabricated story like the one Putin is pedaling here to hide the fact that their real history is one of slavery and subjugation under the Mongols.

And this shouldn't even be a big deal. What group of people haven't been subjugated at some point in their history? Collectively, I suspect that nearly all peoples have been. Certainly it is a bigger conversation with modern, more recent slavery, involving forced migration, but it doesn't change what happened either. The US and some European countries face this topic (as the subjugators) and are talking about it with varying degrees of honesty.
I've only met one Russian immigrant who felt comfortable talking about Russian people, and they definitely said something like this, among other things.
