Why? Russia isn’t the Soviet Union. What exactly have the Russians done that we need to spend trillions to kill them in their own backyard. Election meddling? Proved false.

I haven’t seen a good articulation of what our interest is in the Ukraine or Russia policy by the NeoCons other than we need an enemy to justify military spending increases.
