The president-elect described the death toll as “staggering” and added: “It’s a war that I’m going to try really to stop as quickly as I can.”

Western officials including Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte have sought to stress the importance of Trump ensuring “peace through strength” in Ukraine, and avoiding a defeat for Kyiv that would embolden Putin and his allies in China, Iran and North Korea.

It will never cease to amaze me that modern liberals are to the right of actual fascists on the issue of war.

Not on war generally, just this one specific war that they have been worked into a blood frenzy over.

This one definitely scrambled their brains like eggs, but most of times they are exactly like the meme that says "liberals are against every war except the current one". Even Gaza genocide is not an exception because while more liberals than usual is against it, a lot are for it including their entire political representation.

In addition to Ukraine and Palestine, see also: Lebanon, Syria, etc. Every war but the current is the perfect summation of this phenomenon.
