“Another word for “foreign entanglements” is “allies”.”

Not exactly. While there is no definition of foreign entanglements, imo within the context of what Washington meant that would be overinvolvement if foreign situations, not avoidance of making allies for common purpose.

I read your words here to mean the following: if you like them, they are our "allies", but if you don't much like them, then they are "foreign entanglements", right?

Some people here argue that Ukrainians, by their nature, are inherently corrupt -- not just a few leaders, but the entire population is corrupt, they claim.
That's why we have to let the Russians run over, repress and rule Ukrainians, because, Russians, dontcha know, Russians under Putin are now all conservative Christians and that's why Russians should rule or exterminate as many Ukrainians as possible.

I've heard this argument, basically, from some very smart people who should know much better {ahem... Tucker Carlson}.

Need I say it? That argument is utterly insane, a disgrace to anyone who makes it.
