That's the thing, how do you help people who are dead set against helping themselves? The only explanation I've been able to find out, both from personal experience and also written in texts that are many thousands of years old, is that you cannot.

The USA came within like an inch of becoming an outright ally of Russia, probably we would even have sent some weapons or something. Hell, that might still happen in as little as like a couple years. I've heard reports - with pictures, even videos - that in rural places widely scattered across the nation (south, midwest north, etc.) people are starting to see 3 flags put up in prominent places: one USA, one Confederate, and one Russian (might be Hungarian sometimes). That's right, some people hear about what Putin is doing and approve, while others don't believe that Ukraine is even being invaded at all.
