    Can’t help but think most of the people protesting US support of Israel are being used by the Kremlin to undermine support for Ukraine.

      Well that makes the top ten stupidest things I’ve heard today list.

      How could people possibly support a country defending against an invader while also wanting to stop a genocide… It really takes some mental gymnastics /s

        It’s not difficult to see how the Kremlin benefits from this situation, or that their ally Iran is deeply involved.

        Also, no need to be condescending just because you’re behind a keyboard.

          Yes Putin might benefit from this, but thinking people are against sending weapons to Israel because they secretly want to help Russia is stupid. People are against sending weapons to Israel because they are commiting genocide. It’s unfortunate if that might affect Ukraine, but Republicans are doing everything they can to hold up aid to Ukraine anyway.

          I’m sorry I’m being condescending, but I probably would have said something similar in person.

            He certainly benefits. I agree they don’t secretly want to help Russia, that’s why I said they’re being used.

            Seems like a low quality apology, I hope you’re not this obtuse in person.
