“Ukraine is of vital importance and sadly if it falls some of you will find that out.”
Obviously, you know something most of the US Defense department, National security department and foreign policy establishment don’t because you will be hard pressed to find anyone who can define what vital national security interest corrupt Ukraine has to the US. I guess primarily because this is a regional conflict and whatever the outcome of this war it will have little bearing on our vital national security interests.
I can do it in 5 minutes and for you to say none of them understand the geopolitical/ geographic/ strategic/ economic importance of Ukraine is nonsense.
