Well, it is not up to us who controls Ukraine.

It is their fight regardless who comes out on top.

It was the rest of Europe who wanted this, and got the Democrats on board.

This is a question that really will not lead to a resolution, since we do have half the politicians in this country who care more about what the rest of the world wants.

My answer still stands, what country has not backstabbed us.

I can accept South Korea, and may Vietnam, but only because they defeated the side we fought for.

Well even then American Democrats defeated us not the Viet Congress.

You are simply making declarative statements, as if that proves anything.

Using phrases like "it is not up to us" only obfuscates the discussion; are you saying that it should not be up to us, or are you implying that we are unable to affect the outcome of the conflict there, or that it shouldn't matter? You are using very ambiguous wording.

And what does "It is their fight, regardless of who comes out on top" even mean? Are you saying that it is of absolutely ZERO geopolitical importance to the U.S. whether Russia breaches the post-WWII peace order, invades a major European country, annexes sizable portions of it, and unilaterally dictates international borders?

And that is only what Putin's Russia has done up till now. Putin might, as a next step (if we rescinded all aid to Ukraine), conceivably absorb Transnistria, menace Moldovia, demand the demilitarization of the Baltic Republics, etc. Would that still not be "our fight?"

Regards,
