Mainly because stupid Biden took us from being energy independent to again being dependent. Our involvement as a defensive posture is far less involved. As I had said there wasn't really a lot of news stories about our deployment there, so with the little bit I had to work with & our minimal expenditures, I couldn't see any real negatives, and that it might behoove to have a minimal defensive posture there. Energy is always a notional security issue.

Ukraine on the other hand is of no national security issue whatsoever to our nation.

It was nonetheless a call made without enough information available to make a solid assessment. I had called on others to see if they could find more information. In the absence of any new information coming forth, I did not see the necessity to contact my state Representatives or Senators.

So, it was kind of a follow up response to the article I had offered up. Now that a month has gone by and seeing no further information or issues, I don't see anything negative that has come about to change my initial assessment that was made at the time.

I'm not an isolationist. So, minimal engagement I look upon as not a big problem. If that engagement were to start increasing, I would reassess my position.
