No it is not broad at all.
Maybe you missed this part: “ opposes assistance to a country unjustifiably invaded and slaughtered by a tyrannical communist despot”
That narrows it down pretty good
So to answer your nonsensical question, its a very tiny brush and not tiring at all.
My weekend does not coincide with your weekend and my drinking is very rare and consists of one small Japanese matcha about every 30-60 days.
Is there anything else you care to discuss?
I recognize your kind of remark and your kind of people. Your real meaning is that I am not a member of your club due to my low seniority. Now you recognize that I would not join a club to which the likes of you belong.
Thanks for the welcome!

My earlier hypothesis was that you lacked a conscience. It would not be surprising that you found any morality to be strange.
Every weapon that is used in a violent situation may kill people.
You questioned how giving $40 billion in weapons was a bad thing since it gives money (we don't have) to the defense industry. In this instance, it can make a violent situation that is already killing thousands of civilians much worse.
Providing weapons and ammunition to the people in Ukraine so that they can defend themselves against attack by a tyrannical neighbor is the right thing to do.
Indebting every current and future American with money we don't have to kill someone we are not at war with (and hopefully never will be) is not the "right thing to do". Again, you seem to lack any moral sense, and perhaps any common sense.
If your neighbor was getting attacked by a gang of thugs who invaded their house would you give them a weapon to defend themselves and kill the thugs or would you let them be killed while you smugly felt good about not letting some criminals get killed?
I would not mortgage my children's future to buy them weapons. In addition, this battle on the Russian speaking eastern border of Ukraine is a domestic dispute in which former Soviet states are establishing their natural boarders. The globalists are now using this as a proxy war and they appear ready fight to the last Ukrainian. At the same time, these globalists are funding Russia with gas and oil sales while contributing no troops of their own.
You can't really believe that providing weapons so that people can defend themselves from an invading army is a bad thing to do unless you are a Quaker, or some other total pacifist.
Needlessly prolonging a hopeless conflict is always wrong. In addition, it is never the our responsibility to pay for anyone else's war. Only war-loving, sociopathic neo-cons think that.
If you were setting up a propaganda photo shoot wouldn't you place articles that the intended recipient of the propaganda would recognize?
I saw some of the original photographs put out by Russian propaganda channels, and they looked about as convincing as the pile of materials that other Russians claimed were evidence of terrorist plotting. Except the SIM cards for burner phones were CDs with the Sims game on them. Somebody in the Russian propaganda department got confused apparently.
