The illegal invasion by Russia of Ukraine has been raging for over five hundred days, with no end in sight.

Can you expand on that -- perhaps by following up with an explanation for why Americans should GAF about it?

Stating the obvious:

1. Since the conclusion of WWII, the Soviet Union / Russia has been our chief geopolitical / military adversary. With the exception of a brief respite during Yeltsin's presidency, that continues to this day.

2. No other nation on Earth has as many nuclear-tipped missiles pointed at America's heartland. That, alone, should suffice to prove that Russia is America's sworn enemy.

3. If America allows Russia to rape and pillage Ukraine, if America concedes to Russia the right to "sit at the table" and dictate who may and who may not NATO, that would be only the beginning. You can be sure that it would be only a matter of time before Putin's Russia made further demands, attacked further sovereign states, etc.

4. Anything that weakens Russia, degrades its military, embarrasses it, or isolates it on the world stage is to America's benefit.

Regards,
