Sending Carriers to Black Sea would only end it their destruction. Too many points they can be attacked. The supply lines for a large US force would be hard to set up—and can US forces take the WW I style shelling. Is our military men up to facing Russian Veteran Troops? North Koreans? No, this is not the answer. Besides, we would have to defend not just Ukraine but all of NATO. Think Russia wouldn’t move on Estonia? Poland? Kosovo? We are talking WW III and a horror show beyond all understanding. We wouldn’t be fighting Russia alone and many of NATO would not fight. Trump would not waste American lives for Kiev—or Mr. Zelensky.
Ah. I actually wasn’t focused on Ukraine with that, though it’s possible as a factor.
Rubio was never spoken of as a nominee. It came out of nowhere. I think he’s being neutered for 2028 more than anything about specific foreign policies.
He very clearly made his objections known; some of them were even very well founded. But if you’re arguing that these objections amounted to a warning that he would invade Ukraine, you’re simply fantastically wrong. And if you’re arguing that his objections somehow justified his war, you’re insane.
Yes, the Orange Revolution was a sham, and yes, Poroshenko’s actions were unjustifiable, but all this ignores that Ukraine had ousted Poroshenko, a wartime feat which itself testifies to a functioning democracy.

I agree Senator Rubio is a backstabbing snake.
I hope you are right.
