The Nazis get 19% in France, nobody suggests that it's ok to invade France.

Tell me, what percentage of the vote did the far right get in Ukraine's last elections?
"Some people have two mommies or two daddies" is not "showing sex toys to people", and you are well aware of that fact.
Sure, but there is a chilling effect.
Imagine being Jewish and the state decides that being Jewish is so bad that you can't explain it to schoolchildren, even those who might have questions about it. You think, as a Jewish person, that it's a healthy state to remain in?
This idea that teaching kids about sexual orientation means teaching about sex (MORAL PANIC PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!) is hot garbage, just a cover for conservatives to discriminate and scare gay people away. Just happens that one of them is the only pediatric heart surgeon they had.
Teaching that is ok if Jane has two daddies/mommies is not teaching about sexual intercourse or anything of the sort. They just don't want kids to know that gay people even exist.
Reactionary means always being against what your opponents support.
Like conservatives opposing anything liberals support for example. Not because they think the policy is bad per se, but because they believe they must oppose liberals no matter what.
Ukraine needs to get within artillery range of certain major logistical hubs to hamper Russian reinforcement and supply via the southern corridor. And it is close, now. The Russian administrators of Melitopol have already abandoned the place.
With ATACMS, this would have been easier, fyi.
Only people who don't understand the situation repeat the sort of thing you are claiming.
Furthermore, the US aid to Ukraine was mostly stuff that was destined to be decommissioned. The "billions of dollars" is on paper, not in fact. Nothing Ukraine is receiving from the USA is current gen or in use by the US and therefore isn't diminishing the US armed forces. Arguably it's actually increasing US strength, since the USA is now ramping up artillery shell production.
From a strategic standpoint, destroying the Russian military (estimated around 50% of Russia's MBTs and Airforce) in exchange for stuff you weren't going to use anyway is a bargain.
I think he should sue them as well, so when he loses it's another loss for this shitburger of a human.
