One place where I need to grow is to learn not to care so much about what other people think. But this comment really bothered me. I knew I'd get steam rolled in this thread, because this site seems to have mostly left-leaning opinions.

Don't remain like what though? I am sorry (not sorry) that I don't automatically adhere to the approved narratives. I like to question everything. Can you say with 100% certainty that there is NO money laundering happening through the billions given to Ukraine? Can you say with 100% certainty that there are no bio-labs conducting gain of function research? Can you say with 100% certainty that there is no human trafficking going on in Ukraine? Is it really that simple as good guys vs bad guys? 

I can say for certain that an invasion that has resulted in 1000's of deaths is not the way to solve a single issue on your list. 


Besides that, your standard of proof is completely backwards. I could be 99% certain that there is human trafficking going on in Ukraine, that is still not high enough.

What really bothers me is the implication that being against genocide/war is specifically a left leaning opinion...

This has nothing to do with some kind of approved narrative. Left-wingers frequently go against the approved narrative. The Israel/Palestine conflict, left-wingers are relatively consistently opposed to the narrative that much of the media, the president and most senators are pushing.
