Because the left has decided giving money to Ukraine is Good™ therefore anyone who has any other ideas about the situation is Bad™. Not to mention it’s members of the party of Evil™ who believe something Bad™.
Personally I’m for donating to Ukraine.
You don’t have to agree with them, but there are valid reasons:
Representation: My constitutes don’t want X and I’m here to represent them.
Problems at home: We have a shitload of problems at home that could use that money.
Budgetary: If you think the debt / deficit is a pressing concern, see “Problems at home”.
The Russians are the Good Guys™ (Takes some mental gymnastics to get there)
Escalation: Funding one side could lead to a bigger conflict
Isolationism: Not our problem. We’re not the world’s police
Pacifism: No violence, ever.
And some not quite so valid “reasons”:
The “other side” wants it, so I’ll vote against it
My campaign contributor needs something.
This will help me get into the news/votes!
I can use this vote later to prove i’m not a “war hawk”.
I got paid a lot!

But why should I care what their “true reason” for it is? Should I condemn people for giving to charity because they only want the tax write off?
