What I care about is the U.S., and not having it destroyed by sending billions of unaccounted-for tax payer dollars overseas to fight yet another proxy war with Russia.

Proxy wars have a tendency of becoming direct wars against those that wish to remain neutral. There are no more neutral countries in Europe, or even in the entire world. The world is a lot smaller than it was in the `1800s or even the 1900s or 2000s. We cannot hide anymore. We are the number one target in the world, and we have to be involved overseas, or we will be found and the war will be inside our own continent. China want's to undo us, and so does Russia and so does Iran.

"Proxy wars have a tendency of becoming direct wars against those that wish to remain neutral."

That isn't a reason for the U.S. to be involved in another one 5,000 miles away in a country that is of no national security interest to us, while the Biden Administration is allowing an unending invasion on our southern border, and is destroying America from within. My most important concern is America First. Ukraine and Russia aren't even on my concern list.

"We cannot hide anymore. We are the number one target in the world, and we have to be involved overseas..."

You don't get it. It's because we are involved around the world, sticking our nose into other countries' affairs that we are a target, and while we're focused on other countries' business, it's leaving us vulnerable at home, while depleting our own resources. And the enemy you claim you are so concerned about, Biden is letting those bastards in unchecked, in the thousands, through our southern border.

We were involved in two friggin' World Wars to save Europe's ass, fought a war against China and Russia in Korea that never ended in victory and left a lot of Americans dead or MIA, got involved in Vietnam, and fought another lengthy proxy war against China and Russia that we ended running from, and again cost us many American lives and MIA's, and we wasted time, money, and once again American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now it's Ukraine, and politicians on both sides of the aisle are talking about sending American troops to die once more in a foreign war...for what reason? We haven't been hiding for the past 71 years, we've over-exposed ourselves in useless, unending wars that have left America less than it was before, but left those who have investments in the military industrial complex much richer than before.
