    To bring things closer to what the subject of this community is, unfortunately one way this is becoming a significant problem right now is with the Republicans in America

    And there is your problem: You actually mention “closer to the subject of this cummunity” and the US in the same breath. No, the closest problem for Ukraine (Russia aside, but they are so far gone there is nothing we can do about them but supporting their military defeat at this point) sit in Ukraine and in Ukraine neighbours. They can’t shed the ex-USSR then Russian conditioning and the fairy tales of the weak West.

    It is no coincidence that those people all only managed to shift the narrative slightly. So now it’s the US that is their savior while all the useless Western European countries are weak and listening to Russian narratives. Exactly like they learned for decades from Russia belittle anyone and only accepting the US as their peer (because their propaganda doesn’t work without a dangerous enemy).

    And so there are mainly two big groups in Eastern Europe: Brain-washed people that believe Russias bullshit, and brain-washed people hating Russia and still believing the bullshit as long as it’s a story about those idiots in Western Europe.

    And sorry, you need to wake up yourself. That’s nothing others can do for you. The support for Ukraine’s fight against Russian occupiers is big enough to overlook the obvious bullshit going on with Ukraine and other Eastern European countries pushing bullshit about their actual allies in Europe. And it’s big enough to mostly overlook the constant delusional talk about Westeners beliebving in Russian propaganda narratives they haven’t even heard about yet. For now…

    PS (personal opinion only): Also no, no US president will actually stop the Ukraine support. The whole republican party may talk loudly but the actual US problem is corporate control over legislature and government. And the military-industrial complex is huge, influential and booming because of the Western support of Ukraine.
