I'm not even certain they need buying off to be fair..

Talking to a normie friend about Ukraine. He basically accepts US are after war with Russia, because the government is a war machine since ww2 which simply can't stop, and unlike Iraq etc this time we can't just win, and Ukraine is being ruthlessly used as a puppet etc, but he still supports UK missiles attacking targets in Russia.

I think he just wants to be told what to do.
