“ Because it was done purely for PR and propaganda purposes”
I view Ukraine as a very corrupt place and has likely enriched the Biden’s.
Having said that , they were brutally attacked for no reason by a thuggish dictator.
We all know Russia technically has thrown off its Communist mantle , but it’s the same place in many ways .
Russia is no friend of the US.
I’m sure there many good people in Russia who aren’t in favor of the invasion or Putin.
The whole point of NATO and us being over there, is to not have to fight another World War.
Reagan understood that.
NATO does need to be reformed and the US shouldn’t pay an unfair share of the expense .
But bottom line we need some involvement in the world .
If we leave a void of power, IT WILL BE FILLED BY SOMEONE. Probably China or Russia .
Do we want to ask China or Russias permission to send a cargo of soybeans to South Korea?

Actually, the U.S. fomented a coup in 2014 leading the people of Donstsk and Luhansk to declare independence and to set up the DPR and LPR. They self-governed and were recognized by several nations. In 2022, Russia recognized them, and entered into a mutual defense agreement with each, sort of like a mini NATO. Ukraine, continuing its dickhead antics of the previous ten years, decided to FAFO. Honoring the mutual defense agreements, Russia came to the aid of DPR and LPR at their invitation. Russia did not just wake up one morning and attack the pure and innocent Ukraine for no reason. Russia declared it will denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. They are working at it. They are settling a neighborhood dispute that is not in our neighborhood.

Of course it is. And to eliminate the threat of the dominoes falling.
