they should be angry about the fact that the flower of their youth is being sacrificed to American and EU imperialism and world hegemony. A few pennies thrown their way (which mostly benefits the military-industrial complex in the US) does not justify the loss of so many lives.
Ukraine was going to fight anyway. It wasn't like the West had to convince them. The aid from the West only gave them much higher odds of winning. Though even without help, Ukraine would have still stopped the initial Russian advance. Though without US help, in particular intel + HIMARS, UKR probably would not have totally halted all Russian advances and progress in the last 60 days like they have. Blowing up lots of ammo dumps and HQs has disrupted Russia's ability to keep up the pressure.
This puppet state
If they are puppets, why are they allowed to speak ill of their puppet masters?
