They (woke progressive, white liberals, you know the blue hair types) actually think and refer to you a "brown person" a "BIPOC", or worse "LatinX".

I disagree with the premise of your question. I don’t think Democrats are enthralled with the war in Ukraine. I think anyone who supports liberty and the right to national sovereignty should support Ukraine and oppose Russia. The magnitude of Russia’s unprovoked invasion is enormous. If Russia is successful, Ukraine will not be the last former Soviet ‘republic’ to be invaded and annexed. It is imperative that Russia be defeated now before an even bigger conflict erupt in the future. We should be doing everything possible to help Ukraine achieve victory sooner rather than later.

A more interesting question is why so many on the right have been luke warm at best and openly hostile at worst towards Ukraine? If Reagan were alive today, it’s pretty clear where he would stand on this issue.

The EU/US globalists love Ukraine so much, that they're going to make sure it is totally annihilated from years of intense fighting, by sending in just enough weapons to produce a stalemate. They're going to sit by and watch the Ukrainian cities crumble one by one and watch the Ukrainian people suffer. Meanwhile, Russia will respond by starving Europe of resources. Pushing prices up, putting economies on the brink and generating social disruptions throughout Europe.

Fun times ahead!

I voted for Trump twice and I support Ukraine. I think some on the right support Putin because Biden supports Ukraine. It's their duty to oppose whatever Biden is doing. To be fair the democrats did the same thing to Trump.

It's more worrying to me that foreign agents, Russian bots, and Chinaman bots are using social media such as this forum to undermine America.

Why are Democrats so enthralled with the war in Ukraine?


Because it's such a perfect distraction from the disaster that is the Biden administration.

Good observation.

It's also a perfect distraction from the coming currency crisis, economic collapse that has been building up for years. Turns out printing tens of trillions in new currency doesn't make us all rich.

Why do the Dems love Ukraine so much? It is because so many of them have made piles of money from that country.



They impeached Trump for daring to inquire about illegal doings that the Biden's were behind. They couldn't risk being exposed so they impeached him.



Putin invading Ukraine is really bad but the question should be, why isn't more being done to stop it?

What would JFK do if it happened on his watch or how about Trump? Biden and his ilk are using it as an excuse to turn the screws on the Middle Class. Who can forget "Putin's Price Hike" at the pump? I guess we can thank Putin for his Price Drop now that gas is about $1 less than it was...


Still the "War" in Ukraine is going to be causing a lot of suffering across Europe this Winter and here as well to the point that the USA and NATO should be putting an end to it but they are all afraid to because they are weak.

For me personally, I believe the reasons this war is being fought, are other than the reasons we are being spoon fed.

I believe what Putin is really doing is launching the biggest "anti-pride" parade the world has ever seen, trying to turn back the tide of all the progress various splinter groups have made the past couple decades.

He sees the mess America has become with our flaming police precincts, civil unrest, calls to defund the police, (etc etc) and has decided that IF THAT is "democracy", then having a bulkhead right across the border is unacceptable. He wants to make it 1990 all over again. Think of it as (socially) the anti thesis of "ever forward"

And, a significant number of traditionalist "knuckle draggers" among the Russian citizenry agree with that sentiment.

The media cannot play that angle here, (for fear it might catch on) so they generalize, selling it as a "struggle to save Democracy" because that story has always sold well here on these shores.

So to answer your question about the Democrats, they are supporting their perceived base. No more, no less

It’s because democrats are mostly robots who cannot think for themselves and their computers and televisions have told them they need to shout to the world that they support Ukraine.

Most of those clowns couldn’t even find Ukraine on a map and couldn’t have told you six months ago who their president was.
