And we’re providing arms and money strictly due to our moral superiority?
How is the Ukraine our ally or our responsibility?
When have they ever done anything for us?

Ukraine is every bit as much a buffer to the Russian bear to Europe, as it is a buffer to Russia from Europe.

As with everything else over the past few years the ruling elite and their media lickspittles will do what they please. In spite of what most Americans want.

In this case they are leading us into a major conflict. Its sickening.

Biden Admin stalls natural gas pipeline at the behest of environmental activists

The pipeline — which would transport natural gas to an under-serviced area south of Louisville, Kentucky — cannot be constructed pending further environmental review, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Tuesday. The USACE finalized the reversal on April 20, but the administration appears to have not issued any public announcement or press release about the action.
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recommended that the USACE rescind the permit after two environmental groups, the Center for Biological Diversity and Kentucky Resources Council, threatened to file a lawsuit over the project. The groups sent a 60-day notice of intent (NOI) to sue for alleged violations of the ESA to the Department of the Interior, FWS and USACE on Feb. 28.

The two environmental groups argued that pipeline construction would disturb Indiana bats, gray bats and northern long-eared bats which they said live in underground caves along the proposed route. The FWS has classified Indiana and gray bats as endangered for decades and recently proposed to also list the northern long-eared bat as endangered.

I’ve had prior interactions with this gator and I’m not interested in his trolling.

And we’re providing arms and money strictly
***Not strictly. This is about oil & gas reserves, nuclear nonproliferation, living up to our agreements when we take nukes off a country in exchange for borders & sovereignty assurances, staring down a regional bully like Hitler & Sudetenland, and doing the right thing against an invader who’s murdering tens of thousands.

due to our moral superiority?
***We do have moral superiority, because Putin INVADED. Or is it not a violation of the Budapest Agreement? Of COURSE it’s a violation, so it is right for us to help Ukraine restore their borders and sovereignty as AGREED by Russia in 1994.

How is the Ukraine our ally or our responsibility?
***They’re a pre-ally in that they had a Membership Action Plan MAP in place to join NATO. They are our responsibility because we signed up for that when we signed the Budapest Accession to the United Nations Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty in 1994, assuring their borders and sovereignty.

When have they ever done anything for us?
***They took nukes off the table that endangered the lives of hundreds of millions of souls. That seems to count for nothing in your book.

They launder money for the corrupt oligarchs in the west and their progeny.
