American far-right influencer Laura Loomer calls Ukraine a US ally: "It would be cheaper to support defeat of Russia now"

The conservative American influencer Laura Loomer has called Ukraine an ally of the United States and called for support for Ukrainians in defeating Russia, warning that if Russia were to take Ukraine, it would attempt to start a war with NATO, other European countries and the US.

Quote: "So ultimately, if Ukraine falls, we're going to see Russia try to attack and conquer the other neighbouring European allied states. I know that Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but I'm sure that Russia would try to go to war with NATO. Then, if they succeeded in conquering those countries, they would set their eyes on the United States.

It seems like it would just be cheaper and more efficient to support the defeat of Russia now than have a full-scale war in the future when Russia decides to have their Greater Russia expansionalist empire on steroids, if they get to claim Ukraine as a scalp."

Details: Loomer was also asked about the main message she wants to convey to her audience after her trip to Ukraine. She replied that Americans should rethink who their enemies and friends really are.

Quote: "If Russia is supplying weapons to the Iranians to kill US soldiers, and the Ukrainians are helping us manufacture drones so that we can have an even stronger drone stockpile, that clearly shows me that Ukraine is our ally and Russia is our enemy."
