7. If you go on twitter there is a bunch of people on the far(maybe?)-left and right saying it's Biden

who is the warmonger. Which confuses me a lot. I mean, if Putin invades then there will be a war. If Putin doesn't invade, then there won't be a war (well, at least it won't be enlarged)

Now, I understand from the domestic right, a lot of this is just politics in being against anything Biden does. If the Biden admin was ignoring this then they would be saying he's weak for not doing anything. I understand why Russian nationalists and Russophiles are cheering on Russia. I'm not 100% clear why so many anti-war left are either ignoring or cheering on Russia, though. I guess a lot of them are not really anti-war, but they anti certain wars, and pro unjustified invasions when done by the 'right' people. Why don't we hear anything about this from A.N.S.W.E.R coalition about Russia's likely invasion of Ukraine? I mean, they can also be against the US and other western countries providing weapons to Ukraine, but I would think they would also be totally against an invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Few bat an eye when I say the Iraq invasion was immoral and wrong, but being against a Russian invasion of Ukraine apparently makes me a warmonger.
