It’s funny, because once again, we see a “war” which is basically WHITE which gets all the American leftists (in particular, but not just) in a tizzy, complete with new virtue-signalling such as the idiot down the street from us who puts out a Ukraine flag (and never an American flag).

Could it be they are “racist” or “bigoted” and only care when it’s WHITE wars that happen?

I may be overthinking (or underthinking!) the left's reaction to this war, but since they are fixated on Trump's alleged links to Putin and Russia it seems that this war is somehow for them also a war against Trump and his supporters. For them, Putin = Trump, and this belief fuels their obsessive cheering for the Ukraine, their Ukraine flags, etc.

We have also seen the left - and some neo-cons - bizarrely trying to blame this war on Trump, on January 6th, and other lunatic scenarios. The fact that Russia made land grabs both before and after - but not during - Trump's administration somehow proves that Trump emboldened Putin! This is nuts.
