It is still unclear to me what the American vital interest in Ukraine is.

I see it this way nowadays: Get a government to give billions to another entity and you can sort of just skim off .05% and have more money than most people will see in their lifetime. It’s a profit game.🤣

It’s why I retired a couple of years ago. I now pay zero taxes (except for very low sales tax) and live off SS. The freedom I feel now is indescribable. To be clear, my “retirement plan” wasn’t to retire with lots of money. Rather, it was to retire NEEDING LITTLE MONEY. I have a 32 acre garden of eden, fully paid for, and the annual property taxes are the price of a loaded pizza every month. And that includes two streams, my own gun range, etc. I had to move from Seattle to a “low cost” state to do it, but it was worth it. I love it here. And nobody bothers you. The funny part is you can’t go grocery shopping or hit the local coffee shop without seeing people you know. Love it.
