Can anyone get around the paywall? Haaretz is normally pretty liberal and I'm curious to see what she said

If defending Crimea was all that was happening, then yeah, I'd agree with you. But Putin's stated goal is "denazification," which I don't really see any way to interpret except as overthrowing the government and installing one he likes better.

I mean, tbh, I'm a little more sympathetic on this than most Hexbears. Like, no, I don't think Putin is Satan incarnate, and yes, this whole mess is America's fault for trying to pull them into NATO. But broadly speaking all the stuff about Ukraine being Nazi-riddled as a casus beli falls flat when Putin has been happy to use far-right-wing groups like Russki Orbaz for his own benefit, and I don't think Russia is really a credible threat to western hegemony like China is, so I don't see how supporting Russia would be meaningfully revolutionarily defeatist. Sure, people like your friend are psychos who soaked up too much propaganda.

But the war is here now, and I think the only thing keeping your average Ukrainian from living in a war zone is western arms shipments, and tbh that's the only argument that I find really resonates with me.

EDIT: Lot of people big mad about this one lmao

This is pretty staunchly in their wheelhouse. They regularly deride Biden's protectionism and are pro-clean energy.

The German word for "team" is "Mannschaft" and one kid in my class had to translate "I like to be on the team" from German to English out loud but he didn't translate the whole thing so he said "I like to be on the Mannschaft"

Israel serves as a counter to Iran in the Middle East is why
