First off, why is it necessary for me to sacrifice for a corrupt country like Ukraine? Secondly, if not for the socialist goals of the Democrats, we would not have to suffer, and could cause greater economic harm to Russia if we just started producing oil and gas.
Because the Russians have made a mess, and there really isn’t that much the US can do about it. In the short term anyway. A lot of bad US policy was baked in a year ago.
