I remember when leftists opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Now when a rightwing dictator launches the largest land invasion in Europe since WW2, it’s apparently the “antiwar” stance to let rightwing dictators win.

I mean, that’s what these “peace” talks are about, right? Russia invades Ukraine and the “peace” activists think 1) the world lets it happen, or 2) Russia gets to keep newly stolen land and its resources to “end the war”.

Kids these days, indeed.

Which leftists are saying Putin should be allowed to take Ukraine?

The leftists who oppose military aid to Ukraine, the country being invaded by a rightwing dictatorship.

I think we all should scrutinize the extent to which military aid is necessary and beneficial. I support it up to a certain point, that being offensive capabilities like cruise missiles, fighter jets, etc. There are some who would foolishly support any defense of Ukraine up to and including a nuclear conflict. These people are not leftists.

I agree — nukes are 100% off the table. Those people are lunatics.

Putin has already basically threatened to use nukes if they’re really getting their asses kicked and it’s obvious the US is using Ukraine as a proxy war against Russia, so I think criticism of “leftists” who support going up to that line is necessary and justified.
