“We are sending billions of high tech equipment to Ukraine, money that they need to pay their war expenses and military to teach them how to use the high tech equipment.”

So when we sent billions of equipment to England and Russia in WW2 to help them defend against Germany’s aggression, were we “war mongering”???

I am not going to get into a discussion about the need for or not WWII. I was old enough to hear all of that but that is beside the point today.

Hitler had no claim on France, Poland, England, etc.

The territories Putin is trying to claim or manage were once part of Russia. Whether he is correct in trying to claim them in the way he is trying is not for me to decide. It is a European problem.

Ukraine has proved that Russia can be resisted provided the Europeans put up a meaningful force. Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Poland Czechoslovakia and all of the many others could have managed Putin without the US. In other words, if they are so gutless as to do nothing while Putin invades one of their neighbors, they deserve whatever they end up with. Ukraine is not a member of NATO and we owe them nothing. As it is, we are destroying our country for a country populated with maybe 1,000 Putins. And a few Hunter Bidens thrown in for good measure.
