Like just in a verbal conversation? If the person you’re talking with is an antizionist, explain that the reason that America has supported Ukraine for so long is in large part because the military industrial complex controls the government and gets a lot of money from the war. That money and the combat experience directly translates to these companies developing more lethal technology that will go be used in conflicts like the genocide in Gaza, as well as surveillance and repression in the home front.
Summarized in fewer words: every dollar Lockheed Martin gets to build drones for Ukraine is a dollar that gets invested in a production line for missiles headed for Gaza, or the weapons and tech cops will use on you and me.
Also, in a more strategic level, when NATO advances in Europe it’s clawing back against the power of those opposed to US empire, namely Russia, Iran, and China. Regardless of your moral or ideological judgements of those countries, they objectively do aid the countries that are most at risk of being wiped off the map by US imperialism. A world where these enemies of the US are weaker is one where the US gets to exploit the global south even more.
