Russia or Ukraine. Pick a Side.

Here's the thing: Western nations are helping to arm Ukraine and helping to keep their economy going. Not helping Ukraine would mean that the Russians would be more likely to prevail in the war. Putler has made no secret of his ambitions: He wants to restore Russia to its imperial borders. That doesn't necessarily mean conquering all of those now-independent nations; if he can turn them into vassal states, that would probably be good enough for now.
Not helping Ukraine is helping Russia. These Senators have voted in the past to help Russia: 

• Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee 
• John Boozman of Arkansas
• Mike Braun of Indiana
• Mike Crapo of Idaho
• Bill Hagerty of Tennessee
• Josh Hawley of Missouri
• Mike Lee of Utah
• Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming
• Roger Marshall of Kansas
• Rand Paul of Kentucky
• Tommy Tuberville of Alabama

When President Zelenskyy addressed a joint session of Congress yesterday, these assholes sat on their asses and refused to applaud:

ZELENSKYY now walking in to a huge applause from both sides of the aisle. Some members raising a Ukraine flag.

Spotted not clapping: Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz. Boebert sat back down before the applause was over.

During one standing ovation, Rep. Clyde (R-Ga.) was one of the few who didn’t stand. When Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) encouraged him to stand, Clyde seemed to mouth “I’m not. I’m not,” while shaking his head.

Even MTG, who loves everything Russian and despises Ukraine, stood and applauded President Zelenskyy. Which is a bit of a surprise. I really thought she'd be in her office, polishig the glass on her autographed portraits of The Asset and his handler.

Boebert, Gaetz, Clyde and the rest are supporting Putin's war of aggression. They may say that they aren't, but by their inactions and their words, they are.

Let's be clear about this, folks. This war, as large as it is, is about more than Ukraine. It is about going back to the Law of Conquest. It is about whether or not the world will, once again, fully embrace the principle that Might Makes Right. It is about adopting the foreign policies of Hitlerian Germany, Imperial Japan and the Soviet Union. Anyone who has ever uttered a syllable of support for Tibet is morally bound to stand with the Ukrainians. Anyone who has been sympathetic to the people of Hong Kong or the thousands massacred at Tiananmen Square is duty-bound to stand with Ukraine.

Russia is a brutal nation. The time to put out this conflagration of aggression is now.
