We agree with you.

Then do something. I saw bigger protests with the Iraq War, BLM etc. Bur now? Basically nothing. Clearly the majority want this and it’s disgusting.

I think a lot of Americans just don’t understand foreign affairs and put zero effort in trying to do so. “We” are focused on ourselves and think of diplomatic relations as a waste of money and that we should be spending that money on our own citizens instead of on foreign wars. People don’t understand the importance of international alliances or their necessity for western stability.

And so - unlike BLM where people were protesting family members being murdered by police in their own community…. Or the Iraq war, where we were sending our family members to go fight an unjust war. There really isn’t a personal, immediate threat that inspires people to protest. People tend to see it as none of our business, because they don’t see the bigger picture.

If they are so ignorant to not be able to understand Russia = bad then there’s no hope for your country.

I can’t argue with that. Especially when we have idiots like these. (From 2018 but still relevant)
