Russia vs. Ukraine

I’m never quite sure who to believe when it comes to international matters, as that’s where the disinformation runs thickest, but I am sensing a pattern. The American right has been trending isolationist (NOT the same as dovish) in a way somewhat reminiscent of pre-WWII era. Both 🇷🇺 and 🇺🇦 seem to me to be socially conservative cultures and nationalistic countries, and I imagine someone like me would be unlikely to survive to adulthood in either, so I have a somewhat “a pox on both their houses” attitude, and it also seems hypocritical for a foreign policy critic of my vehemence to go hawkish now that I’m well past enlistment eligible age, but the spectre of history repeating itself is haunting.
