Yes, Ukraine was receiving a modest level of mostly nonlethal aid before Russia invaded.  Obviously that changed, but before this happened Ukraine did a solid job of resisting the Russian invasion in the first few months.

To me, keeping Russia "tied down" in Ukraine is in our national interest until such point that both sides tire of this mess and agree to real negotiations.  The end result will likely involve "land for peace" and western recognition of Crimea as being Russian.

I think our overall global strategic objective should comprise having as many countries "stable" and at least quasi-democratic as possible.

Ukraine was receiving much more than a modest level of aid before Russia invaded. I believe from 2017-2019 alone they received almost $1.5 billion in "security assistance" aid- and that included "lethal arms". I would hardly call $1.5 billion in free sh*t modest, but hey that's just me.

And while it's true that the aid that was sent to Ukraine from 2014-2016 was "non-lethal", as Obama smartly recognized the situation was a powder keg and resisted pressure from nutjobs within his own party and the pentagon to flood Ukraine with lethal arms- they did receive military assistance and training from the US.

By the way, it was Trump the "Russia puppet" that flooded Ukraine with lethal arms. Kind of funny that a "Russian puppet" would expel so many Russians from US soil, sanction the f**k out of Russian nationals & corporations, and flood Ukraine with lethal arms. Seems like something a Russian puppet wouldn't do. But hey, we only wasted 8 years of our lives having the fake news media push that hair brained conspiracy theory down everyones throats.

Should have stopped in 1990, with the reunification of Germany. I don't understand why Turkey was added either.

Putin has always been evil.  He's a con artist who deep down believes he's justified  in his atrocities.  He creates justifications of moral authority and those delusions are adopted by the Russian culture.

I typically lean right, but when it comes to Russia, I do not align with the idea he's misunderstood.  Russia is still what it was in the cold war.  They should never be trusted. 

probably just bad luck for Navalny

maybe fell out a window or a plane just exploded or something

too bad Putin isn't so lucky
