Damn, damn, DAMN.
I despise this administration.
Here we go again. Democratic party the party of war. War against half the people at home and war against anybody whether they’re in the nearest or in eastern Europe. This group never found the war they didn’t like.
The Ukraine war is a European war that affects Europeans in Europe (and any nation foolish enough to interfere if the Europeans are not all-in 100 percent).
This Veteran took part in that Vietnam kerfuffle some decades ago (started by Democrats, btw), and learned after-the-fact that the process of gradual escalation leads to gradual escalation on both sides, and increases the difficulty of disengagement.
The notion of "assisting" Ukraine with US servicepersons and material escalates tensions and depletes readiness, simultaneously.
"Quagmire" doesn't cover it.
Ditto.
