I’ve been hearing this one from a relative for a while now. According to their reasoning, Putin only invaded Ukraine because the United States was providing support for Ukraine’s national defense, and now the people of Ukraine are only dying in the fight against Russia because Biden wanted them to fight instead of “compromising” (i.e., ceding national sovereignty to a despot who is trying to rebuild the USSR).
I can kind of see the isolationist reasoning that the war isn’t any of our business (flawed reasoning in my opinion, but OK). But I still can’t wrap my head around the idea that the United States is responsible for starting that war.
