“Sending military aid to Ukraine helps degrade the Russian conventional military forces, without losing any US soldiers.”
I know what a proxy war is. Did you get that out of the dictionary?
“nuclear blackmail”
The Russians haven’t given in to it yet in this conflict. And yes, if NATO is successful with this nuclear blackmail, Russia knows to expect more.
“Republican candidate”
What if it’s Trump?
“Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war,” President Trump said. “We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to IMMEDIATELY have a total cessation of hostilities. All shooting has to stop. This is the central issue. We need PEACE without delay.”
“There must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neo-con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad, while they turn us into a third-world country and a third-world dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the Deep Staters and put America First.” DJT 1/16/23.
Good, then you understand why that's beneficial to us against our regional rival Russia.
The Russians haven’t given in to it yet in this conflict
Its Russian's like Medved, who have been threatening nuclear escalation.
What if it’s Trump?...We need PEACE without delay
Sure, but is Trump always right, no. Ceasefire, without Russian withdrawal, rewards Putin with captured territory. What would stop him from launching a future invasion?
