No, I have always been strongly on Ukraine's side. The war began because diplomacy failed. We do not want the same to happen with Taiwan - again, we should be trying to find common ground and deescalate the situation. Sanctions are a band aid and escalate, and they only work for so long.

and by deescalation, you mean give China and Russia anything they want

I didn't say that, or imply that, and it would make no sense for that to be my stance given that I said I support Ukraine. At least put some thought in before you hit reply.

The war started because Putin wanted it to start. There’s no other hidden reason.
