Ad hominem fallacy

I'm not embarrassed I had to look it up, but I'm glad I did!

Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term that refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is "A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong".

Spoken like someone who has not been paying attention to what has gone on in the US since 2016.

cite yah sources and I'll read into it. I view it as providing aid to a foreign population being invaded by a direct adversary of the people of the United States. The Ukrainian people need saving from Putin's senseless and ultimately fruitless invasion of their homes. Russians should be embarrassed for how much pain they've inflicted, as well as how little they've accomplished in this pointless errand to fulfill Putin's selfish dying wish.

Putin wouldn't be the first guy I'd call "progressive," if that's what you're getting at
