I get this is the silliest thing to be concerned about right now with everything going on, but it does feel like the hawks scored a point here in the market place of ideas. Trying to add any context to the shitty situation in Eastern Europe is gonna come off as Putin apologia. I feel like it used to be a bit easier to pill Libs on being anti-war by putting to the USs fuck. But now that a country the hawks hated did a thing they predicted he’d do, well…

      This is an almost perpetually popular sentiment that can be used to get leftist points across even if libs are cheering on Biden. You don't have to take any stance at all beyond "I don't think we should get involved." Any pushback can be met with "getting involved will just turn this into another Afghanistan or Iraq or Vietnam, at best." Make them make the case for why that's a good thing, actually.

      If they say we should get involved, bring up the Mogadishu Massacre. US went into Somalia with good intentions and ended up murdering 5,000 civilians in a single day.
