We are getting dangerously close to the “hot phase” of World War III, but most people in the western world don’t even realize what is going on. They simply trust our leaders when they tell us that we will never have to be directly involved in a conflict with Russia, but meanwhile those same leaders continue to push us ever closer to such a scenario. Earlier today, we learned that the UK has now delivered long-range “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles to Ukraine…
The United Kingdom has delivered multiple “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles to Ukraine, giving the nation a new long-range strike capability in advance of a highly anticipated counteroffensive against Russian forces, multiple senior Western officials told CNN.
UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, calling the donation Ukraine’s “best chance to defend themselves against Russia’s continued brutality,” confirmed the transaction on Thursday after CNN exclusively reported the deal.
These missiles do not have enough range to get to Moscow, but they do have the potential to hit strategic targets very deep inside Russian territory.

The mouse never knew why the cheese was free.
After Russia seized illegally and the vote was a joke.
Did we put offensive weapons in Ukraine? No we did not.
“They must have it, or they have no nation”..
What? Russia needs lebensraum?
You’re point ?
Boundaries change since forever and Crimea was Russia before anything more than a small landlocked Ukraine.
“War Games” Computer. Line I liked was”The only way to win is not play the Game”. In the movie and in real life (Ukraine) sometimes it’s the right move!
How much more can the this world stand?

Yeah, it was just a coincidence that the U.S. State Department overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014.
From 2014:

And Putin was ready to send in his little green men, just coincidence I am sure
Giving Ukraine long range weapons doesn’t start WW3. Letting Russia win Ukraine does.
Short answer is YES….they want a world war.
USA is more broke than my brother-in-law with 3 bankruptcies. They can’t even increase debt limit due to much higher interest payments on national debt.
Nothing learned from Vietnam fiasco.
Followed up with Iraq fiasco
Followed up with Afghan fiasco.
We need one more fiasco in Ukraine.
That will finish off the country, what little is left of it.
Though I agree with you, the spending on this is not causing this. Remember when de fee mar spending was30-40% of budget now it is practically a side item
If it is 0.1% of budget, it is adding Billions to national debt. When will United states learn to avoid UNNECESSARY FOREIGN WARS and REBUILDING foreign countries?
Why are we protecting Ukraine’s border while out own border is a gaping big hole?
China has stolen 20 million middle class American jobs, Russia has stolen 0. Why not fight China before Russia?
That is true, I obviously have a different opinion on this. Having Russia in control of all the natural resources of Ukraine would be a disaster, second stopping Russian aggression is a shot over the bow of China and its desires for expansion, so you want an active war with China, think this one is costly well it would be a drop in the bucket compared to China, third controlling our borders is another issue and a political one which supporting Ukraine has no effect what is being done or not done. Fourth nothing that we are doing or providing to Ukraine is degrading a kinetic war with China. If it comes down to 155 ammo, bradleys and abrams that war is already over
Basically yes we are in a world of hurt financially but the main cause of that has nothing to do with our spending on Ukraine at least to any great degree and is money well spent unlike much of the spending we do, green energy, esg,…. Supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression, protecting the border, and confronting China, and controlling spending are not mutually exclusive actions. All could be done at once if there was political will
Blunder logic. You are making same mistake Bush 43 made.
It does not matter who owns the oil in middle east. They all have to sell it at market price. Why go more deeply in debt fighting unnecessary foreign wars? Very stupid.
China has gone from a poor country to world’s biggest economy (by purchasing power) by avoiding wars since Vietnam. We are on fast track to third world status.
Just watch the results from national debt limit conundrum.
Every dollar borrowed requires interest paid in perpetuity since we can never pay back principle.
All deficit spending is stupid, defense, social, government workers ..all of it. It will guarantee demise of this once great country.
