I was never a fan of endless wars with nor goals or exit strategies. The people who run Biden seem to offer open ended commitment to give the Ukes enough to drag it out but not to win or gain advantage for negotiating. Is that to enrich the industries that build the armaments we are giving the Ukes?
Ukes look set up to eventually fail by attrition. Terrible loss of life on both sides. I understand there is history and prior bad behavior here.

I didn’t mean to imply that your sympathy for the ukes is misplaced.

Helping people is always a good thing. It’s just that my whole life I’ve had to listen to sanctimonious Leftists preaching about charity, while turning a blind eye to the Leftist policies that cause the poverty in the first place.

There was this one friend who joined Doctors Without Borders - you can hardly fault him for sacrificing a wealthy life style to go suffer in the most impoverished places in the world - I doubt he’s a good person and obviously an intelligent one.

But when I talk to him about politics he’s completely got his head up his ass. He understands nothing about individual freedom and rights. He thinks the government is somehow immune from corruption and they should be given power over us to compel us to “do the right thing”.

Since people don’t all give up their wealth and property to the poor like he does, the government should have the power to take it in taxes. He thinks we need more tax and regulation - but the borders should be open.. criminals should be set free.

For a doctor he sure is an idiot.

Sorry for ranting
