It is absolutely in our national interest to economically punish the Russians for annexing and destabilizing weak nations it can steamroll...acquiring more power that will be used to confront the US, like it has before, once strengthened.
It will also be less expensive to do it now, than the way it was achieved at the height of the Cold War.
The US national interest doesn’t go on vacation because a limp-wristed socialist is our President.
Soooo....what about every other country on Africa doing the same thing?
What about South America? Why ignore them? Why Ignore the half of the middle east we haven tried to world build yet?
And where is the cash coming from to do all this? Where? you cool with just printing more or hitting China up for...oh wait, can’t do that this time.
There is ZERO sense in any of this. Isolationism is not the act of minding ones own international business. And it’s damn peculiar that suddenly after decades of screaming against the evils of being worldcop, half the right wants to play worldcop.
Odd that.
