Through an extended weekend full of summitry, President Donald Trump revived the role of diplomacy in addressing the European conflict, making the first allied contact with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin since early in the Ukraine war. Trump rejected efforts by Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European leaders to escalate the endless proxy war against Russia. Despite his narcissistic peculiarities, the president made more progress toward peace in four days than President Joe Biden did in three years, though there is still great skepticism that the war will soon end.

What do people think? Should we get more involved in this or not?

[desertsolitaire]

Agree.

[Hyman Roth]

Damn right.

[ViLaLuz]

This is Europe’s war.

[9YearLurker]

We should extract ourselves from foreign entanglements as much as possible and that includes this war, the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, NATO, the UN, etc., etc.

[Tench_Coxe]

Absolutely not. The theNeocons et al will try and turn any resolution of the conflict into a ‘muslim peace’.

[PIF]

We should keep out and be more isolationist thereby historically guaranteeing a really big war; best to fight them on our soil so we can go home at night, rather that travel thousands of miles to fight on some one else’s ground and not be able to go home at night! You’d think every one would know that, eh?

Not according to the zeepers/rinos cheering that Russia is nearing economic collapse and likely takeover by a radical dramatically less stable than Putin whom they irrationally hate as much as TDSers.

At least recently.. the Zeepers are finally coming up with other excuses..

[logi_cal869]

They sound a lot like progressives, don’t they...

[Alberta's Child]

The U.S. should extricate itself from this idiocy right now and walk away from it.

I stand with George Washington, whose sentiments about the importance of U.S. neutrality in foreign affairs are well documented.

[Bikkuri]

The definitely fit right in...

[Bikkuri]

**they**

[Wuli]

An acknowledgment that the current affairs concerning Russia and Ukraine will not produce a lasting solution; no matter how much the fighting ends, for now.

[T.B. Yoits]

We should keep out and be more isolationist thereby historically guaranteeing a really big war...

So, we're to blame for their problems if we don't play world cop?

We're worse than broke. We're $37 trillion in the hole at the Federal level and another $100 trillion in the hole at the states' level.

Let the Crown, which stirs up these hornets' nests as a long-standing foreign policy, deal with it.

[lastchance]

I think Trump should keep his promise.

No Money, No weapons,No intel, No nuttin.

Trump can only keep the U.S. out of war in Ukraine for as long as he’s president, another 3.5 years.
