what does “secure” even mean? It’s an impossible goal.
Supporting Ukraine in every way possible should be a rare bipartisan stance. An autocrat who hates everything we stand for and wants to re-ignite the Cold War is trying to bulldoze a tiny nascent democracy who has close ties to us. The fact that it’s failing while the world is watching has given us a tremendous amount of soft power, and further reinvigorated Western unity.
Every dollar spent there is a far better investment than the trillions of sunk cost we’ve dropped into the sandpit.
it’s nuts that some Americans are neutral or tacitly pro-Russia in this whole shebang.
it’s nuts that we won’t take care of our own problems at home especially the border which by the way was under control just 2 years ago. Unfortunately the Ukraine has morphed into a money laundering opportunity for many of our political elites (both sides) and has become a never ending money trough that needs to stop until full accountability can be met….
