Amen. Ask him why securing Ukraine’s border is so vital to our national interests while ignoring our own and he clams right up.
Can't speak for anyone else here, but:
The overwhelming majority of FReepers who stand with Ukraine do so not because they have any personal affection, ties, or allegiance to Ukraine.
We likewise have little special interest in or fondness for, say, Finland, Estonia, or Georgia.
Rather, we adhere to the sober assessment that Putin's Russia is a military threat to the United States (after all: It's nukes are aimed chiefly at us), and that Putin's invasions of sovereign nations at its borders cannot be allowed to go unpunished.
It's as simple as that.
