Ukraine borders Russia. It is located in Europe. Any issues regarding Ukraine must be resolved between Russia, Ukraine, and surrounding European countries. This is not our business nor is it our fight.

World War II ended in 1945. Western Europe was the beneficiary of billions of dollars of US taxpayer spending to get their economies going through the Marshall plan. The United States spent trillions on defense of Europe and the US against the Soviet Union.

The EU today has a first world economy and one of the three largest on the planet. If Western Europe is unable to defend itself against Russia, after 75 years of being propped up by the US taxpayer, so be it. We cannot carry the European nations forever.

It is long past time for Europe to deal with its own issues and the United States to focus on our own country. It is hypocritical of us to be threatening Russia over an invasion of Ukraine which has not happened, when we allow millions of people to invade our country from Mexico and do nothing about it.

Thank you...good post.

Lets add Ukraine loves it’s conflicts....it survives on International revenue flowing into it’s coffers and the threat of war always provides this.....ANd if anyone thinks all that armament being shipped for their defense stays in Ukraine then their dreaming....it’s a great side business for Ukraine.
