Rand and his father both have some serious blind spots, and one is that the USA, for better or worse, has to play a major role in the world outside its' borders. Abandoning that role will make a world that Americans will not be happy to live in. This is not 1900 anymore, or even 1940.

How is it a blind spot to not want the US Treasury drained at all costs to support a cause or a war (whatever it is) thousands of miles away and has no bearing on most Americans lives?

Someone put a good tag up there

“endless grift”

You do realize the chairman of the Joint Chiefs says this is unwinnable and could go on for years.

It’s a lost cause.

Yet you want to throw more and more money at it? When is it enough?

We are broke. We won’t have a country left if we don’t do something about our own borders.

Russia/Soviet Union has been involved in numerous border conflicts in the past 75 years, to include Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Germany, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine (2014). Why is it good idea for the US to be directly involved in this Russian conflict and not all the others?

You've made a total mess of this situation. The United States is much weaker now than it was two years ago.
