You gotta normie the explanation. Thats what I always do. Don't tell them what you really believe. Instead, make the point from a nutral stance.

" Ukraine isn't much better than Russia. Its certainly not worth us getting involved. War is bad. Im not picking sides between two corrupt countries. "

Or

" We wouldn't want Canada to ally with Russia, then allow Russia to build bases there. Russia doesn't want NATO in Ukraine. Frankly, I don't think helping NATO expand its military reach is a cause worth spilling blood for. The whole thing is political garbage. "
