Letting the people in the Donbas vote on which country they wanted to be a part of would be a "clear win" for Russia? I guess you're right, but it raises the question of why we claim to be for democracy but oppose this.

It only seems absurd if you didn't read the post.

Early in his presidency, Zelensky reasonably tried to get Ukrainian neo-Nazis in Donbas to adhere to the Minsk Accords (there's a video you can find on YouTube of him confronting them), but currently he's leading the Ukraine to destruction and the world to the precipice of World War III with his maximalist demands and refusal to negotiate. 

Then again, maybe he's not actually in charge at this point.

Trump was the first American President to give the Ukraine weapons, something Obama was reluctant to do. 

Not every issue in the world maps to your simplistic "Trump bad; anti-Trump good" rubric; You should try thinking critically and independently instead. As a start, you could try reading this post before commenting on it.

Meet Our Satanist Monkeypox Czar

The natural choice would be to tell gays to throttle back on the orgies until the disease is under control. 

Other Americans were told to let their elderly relatives die alone in hospitals and nursing homes to control COVID; avoiding orgies for a while shouldn't be such a big sacrifice for gays to control Monkeypox.
