The Senators and Congressmen have their underground bunkers.
As far as they are concerned American civilians can go ^%$# themselves in the event of nuclear conflict.
Typical deeply thought out response. Par for the course.
Any support for Ukraine is money and material wasted.
Even if the Russians manage to take the Donbas region, incorporate it into greater Russia, they have still suffered a huge strategic defeat. Its been shown that the conventional Russian military, once feared by the West as a juggernaut is a paper tiger. Western Europe and NATO now know that they are in no real danger of being physically conquered. Also the ineffectiveness has not been lost on the Chinese. China now knows that Russia’s underpopulated Siberian treasure house and its rich Far Eastern territories cannot be easily defended and are vulnerable. Comrade Xi may realize that his combat inexperienced military armed with untested equipment, ships and planes might not be able to successfully invade a resisting Taiwan across 90 miles of open ocean but Russia is very vulnerable.
“money and material wasted”
If that was the only issue I would not be that concerned—military industrial complex companies are getting a wealth transfer from average working people—par for the course in DC.
The problem is that Russia will (justifiably) see this as casus belli—that makes it extremely dangerous and stupid.

Neocon freak talking to other Neocon freaks.
Why aren’t you in Ukraine with a rifle? Or are you just another Chickenhawk NeoCon?
R’s and D’s always want to defend and support other countries instead of our borders and citizens.
Exactly. How about protecting our border? It has turned into a nightmare invasion.

Portman’s not doing anything next year, perhaps he should just stay there and fight for the UA.

Well, it was feared due to the propaganda put up by our defense industry.
Meanwhile in the east where another belligerent country has been building up a capable military, we hear nothing but inroads in the use of proper pronouns.
