“While some of us can actually employ critical thinking.”
Apparently not you, since you were the one who implied that people could not care about Ukraine and America’s domestic problems at the same time. Yet here you are admitting that “Everyone can”. People who are capable of critical thinking don’t reverse positions that easily.
Caring about and using your brain to decide the depth of your involvement, are vastly different. If you used your brain you would know the difference between the two acts.
If I didn't care, I wouldn't demand that we resolve this issue and stop the blood-letting.
We are not helping the citizens of Ukraine, by continuing the war, or promoting goals that require the continued fighting to occur. Biden's involvement is also not about protecting the sovereignty of Ukraine, or the sanctity of her borders. If you used your brain you would realize those claims are nothing more than a lie, by the mere fact that he doesn't care about either of those things with regards to the nation he leads, the U.S.
In reality, he is using the people of Ukraine to wage a proxy war against Russia, thus they are nothing more than fodder to him, along with the Deep State apparatus that has taken control of our nation. If you had a brain, you would have figured this out on your own.
We are now 31 trillion in debt. We do not have the financial where with all to keep spending money like we are by getting involved in all of the conflicts we keep getting involved in. The only way we have gotten this far in debt is because we are the world's currency, but we are jeopardizing that, and the BRICS nations are working towards ending it as well.
In addition, this out of control spending has made inflation rear its ugly head, impacting the poor, as well as, those living on fixed incomes (our elderly population) the hardest. Apparently you could care less about the impacts of that inflation upon either of these segments within our society. If you really had empathy, that would not be the case. Death by starvation is a much more gruesome way to go. If you had a brain, no one would be required to show you the collateral effects our involvement in these never-ending wars. that our feckless leaders keep dragging us into, have upon our fellow citizens.
When we are then required to pay to rebuild these nations, it adversely affects every citizen due to the crumbling infrastructure within our own country that cannot be fixed, because we are too busy rebuilding other nations.
The illegal invasion of our southern border costs U.S. taxpayers an estimated 250 billion a year. The war so far has cost the U.S. taxpayers at least 60 billion. We cannot keep piling this debt upon our children & grandchildren. If you had a brain you would realize this is not only unsustainable, but is tantamount to child abuse.
I sincerely feel sorry about the Ukrainian people, but their government played a major role in this conflict becoming a kinetic one to begin with, as did the U.S., Nato, and the EU.
The Ukraine government decreed that it was illegal to teach Russian in the schools, but then went a step further by outlawing all Russian language to be banned from being used in public.
The U.S. & NAto started the hostilities by executing a color revolution in Ukraine. Then the CIA trained the Nazis to be used to cause disruption in eastern Ukraine. Zelenskyy even ran with the promise of rescinding that decree. But like so many other times, Zelenskyy lied. This is far more than just Russia invading Ukraine, and why we need to stay out of the conflict. If you had a brain, we wouldn't be engaged in this conversation, but you don't (or should I say you don't use it), so we are.
Having a heart is good, but using your brain is a necessity.
