    I’m not saying you did. I’m agreeing with you on aid.

    I’m saying the title of the post is unhelpful. It is not a dichotomy of guns or you’re with Putin.

    I’m saying talking in such terms is unhelpful for establishing dialogue. I genuinely did not expect this to be controversial or difficult.

    It’s a bad title. It’s a bad argument and if we want to help Ukraine, we should do everything in our power to elevate good faith discussions and arguments.

    I agree about the Uyghurs and any trading partner with China sharing culpability. The point is that guns aren’t the solution there and even for Ukraine, for some nations, guns are not the best path forward for a variety of reasons.

    I think NATO nations have a huge responsibility to step up and I’m frustrated with the US’s foot dragging on this issue, especially when there seems to be unlimited funds for Israel to bomb Palestinians.
