Except we’re not deployed to Ukraine.

Are you sure that is the reality?

I've heard we have people over there training them how to use some of the weapons systems we are equipping them with, as well as, advisors. Exactly how we first got involved in Vietnam.

But the billions we are providing for them, while our southern border is allowing in over 2,000 illegal aliens every day should upset every American. Last time I heard, the cost of illegal aliens exceeds 250 billion per year, and that figure has had to have expanded with the over 3 million people in the last 2 years alone.

Yeah, and like the lend-lease arrangement in WWII, we will never see a penny of that money returned.

But what is our goal there? How does it threaten U.S. National Security.

Answers: unknown, It doesn't threaten National Security one iota.

I think most of the training is going on in Poland or surrounding countries.

Support for Ukraine and the border are two separate issues. It's not either or. We can do both, quit trying to conflate the too.

We'd probably save a lot more money if we finished the wall on the southern border.

Our goals in Ukraine are to:

• stop an Aggressor nation (Russia) from getting more land and resources,
• Stop the reemergence of the Soviet Union
• stop them from subjugating a people that do not want to be subjugated.
• Free their homeland so that the 8 million refugees can return home.
• Reaffirm the precedent that the UN was set up for, that countries don't resolve their problems by invading each other.
• Avoid having to fight a larger war against the aggressor at a later time after the aggressor has more land, resources and conscripts at it's disposal.

Interest on the National Debt is now over a Trillion. I can still remember when the entire federal budget was less than that.
