We don't have any reason to 'hate' Russia. They are not the Soviet Union of the Cold War (which we won). We enjoy basically a stand off with them. They have no power to make war on us other than nukes, so we are left staring at each other across a very large ocean. We also have no reason to love Ukraine. This has been revealing in that it is a fight between two detestable men in countries who are not our allies. I encourage Europe to handle this in the manner they choose. It is not our fight.
