The logic in this piece is compelling. Certainly it makes no sense to oppose arming Ukraine.
But if we view the goal of the left as educating the larger public, then we should recognize that the larger public already supports sending arms, in fact way beyond what is argued here. E.g., over 30% of the public supports a no-fly zone.
In this context, why is it important for the left to also add its voice to the (legitimate) calls for arms support? It seems that strategically speaking, the left in the US ought to be focusing on other things that the US government ought to be doing, like participating in negotiations.
