Its none of our business.
Its Russia’s backyard, we have no vital interest there and we shouldn’t meddle in its affairs.
True. And Venezuela is in our backyard. If we’re going to start interfering, let’s start there.
And the EU stands around looking worried while they wait for us to come rescue them and they’ll still end up buying the Russian gas no matter what.
It is our business since we were signatories to the Budapest Memorandum. Is it worth going to war over? No! However, we need to at least provide the Ukrainians with the small arms they requested.
Otherwise we played a major part in duping them into surrendering their nuclear weapons. As for vital interest, that should be obvious. While many cheered the end of the Cold War, the Russians never gave up on their efforts. They have been on the other side of numerous confrontations. Syria and Iran are examples.
We’re taking the wrong road if we don’t provide the wherewithal for Ukraine to defend itself. History will not be kind to us nor our progeny.
you are wrong, we do have interests there, we just are in no position to defend since the effing administration has run up our debt and decimated our armed forces
The US was the leader of the Free World. Once we stop evil, i.e. Russia, Iran, China wins. With weak puny leadership by America, world disorder will grow exponentially. Three more years of weak puny American leadership will allow evil to slink into many nooks and crannies around the world. It will cost those in the direct path of the dark wave heavily. It will cost the rest of us in ways we cannot today imagine. Think of "unintended consequences" and think of "bite us in the arse".
