    Secondly, your “they are not free now due to the war, so it’s okay if Putin takes over their country and they lose their freedom in perpetuity” argument is a poor one.

    You seem to be confusing russia with saudi arabia or other dictatorships around the world the west is totally fine with. As far as i’m aware russian can leave their country if they want to.

    Unless you live on mars or an unknown island i do not need to know where you live to tell your government is corrupted, all governments are. If you don’t think so you are free to provide an example of a government that isn’t ruled by corrupted politicians and that never beat its own people.

      Cool. I was talking about Ukraine, where you think there is no freedom and Russia is liberating them.

            Sending weapons to the corrupted and authoritarian ukrainian government so that they can fight a proxy war against russia is not helping ukrainian people

                You seem to be brainwashed by propaganda into believing that not sending weapons to a dictatorship means you are helping another one. Your government seem fine with russia taking over ukraine otherwise they probably would stop their partnerships with china who is providing russia weapons.
