Man, the world must be pretty black and white for you. Which must be pretty easy to achieve when you completely ignore the complexities of international relations.
When one side maintains an important allegiance but still openly states they are not fine with what their ally is doing, floats arms shipment cancellations, and helps try to broker a peace deal, that is very different from the other side openly stating they support that ally's aggression and even float building a resort once that ally has eradicated their opposition.
Anyone with an adult brain inside their skull would look at the situation and pick the option that's less destructive to the people they claim to care about. To ensure those people are as protected as they have the power to make them.
But we're not talking about people with adult brains inside their skulls.
You seem to be confused, suggesting that by "both candidates" that I was referring to Harris and Trump, but anyone with an adult brain would understand that "both candidates" refers to Biden and Harris.
