I’m reminded of then-Sen. Bob Dole’s biting remarks to then-Sen. Fritz Mondale in the 1976 Vice-Presidential Debate about the “Democrat Wars.” It’s quite curious, especially coming from the (self-described) “Party of Peace” that virtually all these 20th (and now 21st) century wars occurred on the watch of one Demonrat President after another. Wilson-WW1, FDR-WW2, Truman-Korea, JFK/LBJ-Vietnam, etc. (or also the NeoCon RINOs, now indistinguishable from the Dems). The push for involvement in the Ukraine, Israel, and (probably) Taiwan is insane. We don’t have the capability to get ourselves deeply ensconced in 3 war zones with our present debauched and dysfunctional military, and certainly don’t have the $$ to be funding these foreign entities AND the military costs for us.
Anything to try to get the public’s mind off of domestic failures across the board and to try to gin up fake popular solidarity to get behind the Pedo’s trifecta of wars and help him “win” in 2024.
This much at least we agree on.
But Democrat Wars didn't begin with Wilson and WWI.
They go all the way back to the first Democrats, Jefferson and the Barbary Wars, Madison and the War of 1812, Polk and the Mexican War.
The US Civil War was a war Southern Democrats declared against the United States lead by Republicans.
So Democrats have always loved to start wars and since WWII they also love to see the US defeated, and the more humiliatingly, the better they love it, prime examples being Vietnam and Afghanistan.
Their reasons for starting wars include Democrats' globalist outlook and their reasons for loving to see us defeated are because it's usually more conservative Republicans who actually fight wars, and any defeat for Republicans is a win for Democrats.
In short, Democrats are historically far more evil than most people imagine.

All that being true, the fact remains that Vlad the Invader is a clear and present danger to not just Ukraine, but to every country near Russia, from the Baltics to the Caucuses.
The analogy today to the 1930s Rhineland, Austria & Czechoslovakia is almost perfect.
The lessons of history could not be clearer.
If we ignore such threats when they are relatively easy to defeat, then we will soon enough face a power we cannot defeat short of a desperate total war with tens of millions of deaths resulting.
When I was a young man that lesson from history was obvious to everyone, Republican, Democrat, conservative or liberal -- only wild-eyed leftists wanted to see the Old Soviets & Chi-Coms victorious.
