I’m getting sick of this propaganda amplified on the left. Imagining a dictator committing genocide & war crimes will happily cooperate if just allowed to keep some of the invaded territory, is nonsense. Peak Neville Chamberlain, only worse. We’ve seen how this plays out #Ukraine

It is also utter nonsense that Putin launched his genocidal war because “NATO”. This is a version of the excuses made for rapists. Coming up with all manner of ways to muddy who is to blame. Russia is responsible for its murderous acts, not counties looking to protect themselves.

As many have pointed out, it’s the bargain of the century to help #Ukraine defeat a mafia state committing war crimes. We spent WAY more💰& lost Canadian lives in Afghanistan without justification. Putin being appeased rather than stopped, means emboldening murderous dictators.

And take note of the propagandistic framing here, also take note of the unhinged from reality, Kremlin talking-points, replies. “Stop arming #Ukraine”?? Framing this as aggression by #NATO?? Who is the sole beneficiary of all of this? Putin’s regime, that’s who. #NAFO #cdnpoli

Helping #Ukraine is a low cost investment in global security. Timothy Snyder puts it into perspective, beautifully.
Just imagine a world where murderous autocrats who have been waging a decades long war against democracy, succeed? #UkraineInvasion #NAFO
