Sad thing is that Ukraine wouldn't have gotten nearly as much support if it looked like they had no chance of winning, or at least resisting.

I think the diplomatic logic is what's the point in supporting a loser - your support doesn't change anything and when they lose you're on the winners shit list. If you support a winner then you may have a beneficial relationship in the future.

Doesn't really work like that. Russians are not less white than Ukrainians but their ultranationalist ideas are not nearly as supported in the West.

(Not saying Russian ultranationalism is better in any regard)

Violence is not the answer. Violence is the question. The answer is "Yes"

You can identify the liberals in this thread because they dislike this, but can’t provide a single credible argument against it.
