a lot of cries of betrayal are circling the net after this stopgap passed, critics of it saying ukraine was thrown under the bus. mind you, this comes AFTER billions have recently been approved, with ukraine receiving a shipment of m1 abrams tanks just days ago.
do any of you actually care what happens to ukraine? is this something that should be a concern of black people? does the defense of ukraine improve the material reality of black america at all? does defending her from russia play a significant role in reversing the socioeconomic disrepair suffered by our people?
i’ll end this by saying that when russia stepped up its invasion, ukraine forbid its black population from leaving the country. is that a nation black people should be rallying behind?
