1. I don't accept this idea of Russia as our "chief geopolitical/military adversary" at all -- at least not anymore. And a reasonable American should seriously consider whether they ever really were. For heaven's sake -- the two nations jointly developed a space station and operated it collaboratively for decades!
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. First of all, I have no idea how many nuclear-tipped missiles are pointed at America's heartland. Do you? And based on what I know now, I consider it perfectly reasonable for any foreign country to do whatever is necessary to protect itself from predation by the United States.
3. I've heard all of this for decades. Nobody has every convinced me that allowing Ukraine to join NATO -- or even have minimal trade relations with the U.S. -- is even a good idea, let alone a matter of national importance. Any illusions I had about Ukraine went out the window when I watched the President of the United States face impeachment because he dared to expose the corruption of Ukraine's government and its dealings with the similarly corrupt bag of @ssholes who feed at the taxpayer's trough right here in the U.S.
4. Anything that weakens Russia, degrades its military, embarrasses it, or isolates it on the world stage is to America's benefit. Really? That's self-evident? I don't think so. How exactly does America -- and I mean Americans, not the corrupt globalist sh!tbags in Washington, benefit from this?
Then you are in disagreement with the expert judgement of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff for several decades. I guess you've never heard of a little thing called the "Cold War," either?! (Of course, now "White Supremacy" is our greatest foe! /mordant sarcasm)
And the U.S. has engaged in all kinds of cultural exchanges, joint commercial endeavors, and scientific cooperations with every manner of tinpot dictator, tribal warlord (gift of a Bible personally signed by President Reagan during the Iran Contra Scandal, anyone?), and geopolitical enemy since time immemorial. That proves nothing!
Alex: 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.

Russia has more than 6,000 nuclear warheads, and a majority of them are aimed at American assets. At what else would they be aimed? Antarctica?! South America?!
And based on what I know now, I consider it perfectly reasonable for any foreign country to do whatever is necessary to protect itself from predation by the United States.
Said no true American patriot, ever!
3. Membership in NATO
It's not just about Ukraine possibly joining - it's the principle of ever conceding Russia a veto-right with regards to membership in NATO.

Anything which weakens, embarrasses, distracts, or otherwise isolates a country whose vast nuclear arsenal is focused on the U.S. is to our benefit. Anything which strengthens, emboldens, or otherwise benefits such a geopolitical foe is to our detriment.
