Gee, why doesn't he feel the same about Palestine?
Because AIPAC lobbying (money laundering) works on both Democrats and Republicans. War in Israel/Palestine is good for both sides of the ruling class.
Ukraine is different. It is strongly tied to the Democratic Party and the Biden family (note Hunter Biden’s involvement) which essentially allows the Biden Democrats to unlock a “cheat code” that blatantly pumps $175 billion (so far) for Ukraine in just 2 years, as long as the majority of the people are sympathetic to the Ukrainian cause, and which are ultimately laundered back to the pockets of Democratic politicians and their proxies, as well as the military industrial complexes, oil and gas industries and financial companies that have pledged their loyalty to the Bidens, as a treat.
This is why Trump and the Republicans want to end the war in Ukraine, and why they are so keen on crucifying Hunter Biden. The Republicans are getting beat at the avenues that give away treats to the bourgeoisie. It is simply more profitable to align with the Democrats and gain access to the Ukraine gravy train.
This is also why the Biden campaign has been propping up Hunter lately - him persuading Joe Biden to keep running, attending White House meetings with Joe, etc. - to signal that even if Joe’s mental ability has far degraded, Hunter’s still there to make sure that the promises of treats to the Biden Patreon supporters will be fulfilled.
