War of Words: Debunking the Myth of ‘Pro-War’ Support for Ukraine

Rarely have the ethical lines been so clear-cut in any war. Those who call Ukraine supporters warmongers are just “miserable creatures” hiding behind pacifist ideals to cover their own cravenness.

The absurdity of labeling politicians and countries that support Ukraine’s defense against Russia as “warmongers” or “pro-war” is laughable, yet these ludicrous claims are running rife on social media. Is it a classic case of blaming the fireman for trying to put out the fire or is it part of a larger disinformation war?

When a sovereign nation is invaded, it becomes a moral imperative for the global community to assist, especially when the aggressor blatantly disregards international laws, the rules of war and human decency.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is illegal, unjust, and an affront to the principles of sovereignty, self-determination and humanity.

Those who stand with Ukraine do so not out of a love for war but out of a commitment to justice and the preservation of international order.
Supporting Ukraine is about defending the right of a country to exist without fear of an unprovoked invasion.

It’s about standing up to a bully who thinks he can redraw borders through brute force. Putin is a criminal and a bully of the highest order. And a bully hates nothing more than a victim who fights back.

It’s as if critics believe that helping a friend in distress equates to encouraging a brawl. Picture this: a mugger attacks someone on the street. Do you call the person who intervenes to stop the attack a “violence enthusiast”?

It’s important to understand the distinction between supporting a nation’s right to defend itself and encouraging war for the sake of conflict.

The real and only warmonger is the one who initiates the war, not those who step in to help the invaded.
