--- "I think our grand children and children will be a lot happier with that not hanging around their necks like it was with us."

Unlike you, I did not grow up with any of our "enemies" hanging around my neck, and I sought successfully to teach this forward. I am sorry you did. Duck and cover.

Doesn't matter. Our grand children and children are already massively indebted -- indentured servitude in a way -- for about 253,000 USD per kid and grand kid. Do your own family math. No matter what happens, we owe millions for "yesterday." And the price tag grows so rapidly that one has to update the umber every day to be anywhere near current.

Some conservatives say stop the spending, and the "officially" non-NATO war between two non-NATO nations is not our business, and we shouldn't be involved. Some say we should play the "world's policeman," and pay and pay and pay.

Robinson pointed out in his advice to us, there is "a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked."

You and I have a difference of opinion. Opinion. And your argument is perhaps as controversial to me as mine is to you. But we hold opinions. Opinions. Yours argue for spending more money. Mine argue to stop. We differ. On opinions.

” involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.”

Better to support a country being attacked so we do not have to be attacked.

Russia is our enemy, and it is cheaper to help someone else fight them than to keep spending to deter them from attacking us or anyone else. You are being penny wise and pound foolish. Unless of course you want to defund the military just like you might want to defund the police.

“I did not grow up with any of our “enemies” hanging around my neck”

That shows
