It's still pretty simple. Fuck Russia. Stand with Ukraine.

I mean, other than question of whether NATO would be fighting its primary member if it happened, sure

I don't think the questions ever been if Trump would send troops on the Russian side. It's always been a question of "will America actually do anything." And while the answer at this point is almost certainly no, Ukraines been doing just fine without the US help they were continually promised.

Real talk I think the memes flowed easily back then because Ukraine was the underdog and surpassing everyone's expectations in funny ways.

Now... I think it's actually harder to meme when your side is winning. Double when it's a gruelling war of attrition with lots of civilian casualties.

Even the Russian losses alone are sad as hell. A million and a half casualties for nothing but an old man's ego.

Not counting the ones the russians killed themselves for money or for not going on assault, etc.
