I think it's interesting that people who get referred to as "terrorist sympathizers" claim to be on the left, but they often support the regime of the Taliban.

Liberals oppose every war except the current one.
I wouldn't necessarily call myself a liberal, I guess I'm just somewhere in the middle, I dunno. And I definitely don't support wars. That's why I think Russia should never have invaded Ukraine.
We heard the same logic with "Assad shouldn't have attacked his people" or "Gaddafi shouldn't have attacked his people" or "Saddam shouldn't have attacked Kuwait".
Even if it's true in a vacuum, it's only being used to justify imperialism.
The only lever we have is the one that sends more bombs to Ukraine, each of which is a bad day for someone, statistically mostly civilians. The US's objective isn't to help the people of Ukraine, it's to create the biggest blood bath possible and acquire cheap resources and labor from Ukraine. This happens every single time.
Russia also being bad doesn't change this.
