Or go with West who supports the genocide in Ukraine. Either way we get to have a genocider!
west does not support genocide anywhere
Neither does Biden
biden is literally shipping weapons and cash to a genocide.
And West refuses to support Ukraine's defense against a genocide.
he has never said that.
It's his view
https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/biden-war-criminal-cornel-west/
He almost never criticizes Putin's genocidal acts in Ukraine... just NATO... and repeats Putins talking points about giving up and giving Putin larger parts is their sovereign country( a "peacec treaty"). It's as though he has no clue that Putin would just attack again exactly like after Crimea.
he never said give up or rgive putin any part of ukraine. he called the invasion illegal. and the united states is IN nato, so the president (which he is running to be) would actually have influence over nato policy.
He called for an end to the war and a treaty which can only mean compromising and giving part of Ukraine to Russia.
you don't see any way the war can end without giving part of ukraine to russia?
Not if it's a "compromise"... of course not. How could it end with a treaty without giving part of Ukraine(which Russia has legally annexed according to them) to Russia? They are no longer getting support to shoot back or even defend themselves so Russia has free reign to keep moving the line further and further... stealing and killing more and more children. Their goal is to erase the Ukrainian culture and to Russify the whole area.
but Cornel West hasn't actually suggested that they give up part of Ukraine, and he isn't im government now deciding whether to arm them.
Sure. West hasn't said he wants that. But he has said he doesn't want to help Ukraine defend itself by supporting it which empowers Putin to get what he wants. What incentive does Putin have to give anything back if he didn't have to?
Biden has criticized Israel and called for a cease fire. Yet he is supporting genocide? while West would refuse to help Ukraine shoot back giving Putin free reign to take a much as they want and steal s many children as they can and this isn't supporting genocide? Why not criticize both Biden and West? They both deserve it.
in your own link, he calls putin a gangster.
Or De La Cruz or Jill Stein. You Blue MAGAs are always pretending to forget that there are 6 candidates in play right now
Look up Stein's views of Russia. She blames NATO for Russia's Invasion. Virtually never criticizes Putin. She says "why bother? " Stating that Ukraine used to belong to Russia. So she has no real issue with Russia erasing the Ukrainian identity and culture(genocide). She is a monster.
this is a mischaracterization
How?
she did say "why bother" but it wasn't in a statement about ukraine formerly belonging to russia. it was in the context of showing that everyone knows putin is a bad guy. she has never said she has no issue with russia erasing ukrainian identity, but she has called the invasion illegal. and she did say that nato's saber rattling provoked it, but she still condemns the invasion.
And Biden had criticized Israel's Gaza response.
but then continued to enable them
Just as Stein refuses to support Ukraine, enabling Putin.
she said the invasion is illegal.
Who cares what she says if what she would DO is not support Ukraine. Biden criticizes Israel but who cares if weapons are still supplied. Words are cheap.
