I agree with this piece. Ukraine has a right to defend itself like any nation. And Russia had (and has) imperialist, white supremacist designs to somehow conquer most of Europe and Asia and install a white global empire in place of the failing one called the USA. I am not more in favor of US imperialism as I am in favor of Russia's odd Eurasia hopes with white people running the earth. Yet, I have to support Ukraine here to mash back Russia's rise from the dead. But Russia is dead now, or near death. Ukraine is crushing them. Mason is not totally correct here but he is correct that Ukraine should be supported. Just like when the US invaded Iraq, I was for Iraq even though I knew they had no chance to win. But they won because as usual, the US cut and ran home and settled for army bases.
