"gee, maybe Russia shouldn’t have attacked its neighbor for no reason, then this issue wouldn’t be coming up"

Gee, maybe you can tell me what national security interest there is for the U.S. taxpayer in Ukraine. Or why billions of our tax dollars that should be used to protect our own borders, are being sent to a corrupt nation, that isn't even required to account for where any of that money has gone. I don't give a rat's arse about Russia or Ukraine. I hope they destroy each other. Ukraine and Russia have been fighting over land for hundreds of years, and both countries have made politicians in this country, their family members, friends, and their big donors very rich, through investments in the military complex. In other words: waging wars. This is Europe's problem, not ours. Let Europe deal with it. We bailed those countries out twice in the 20th century, and they squandered the freedom we helped give back to them both times.

The U.S. has been fighting proxy wars with Russia since the Korean War...China too..."to stop the spread of Communism," and Lo! and Behold, while we were fighting them over there, they were slowly taking over this country here, without a shot being fired. Obviously, since you likely live in Canada, you have no freaking clue what "America First" actually means, and you should be focused on your own commie government you have there, and what Castro's son is doing with your tax dollars.

"America First" doesn't mean American taxpayers having to take it in the arse for a country that is 5,600 miles away, and the size of Texas.

uh, because Russia is an enemy of the US, and wants to take over all of Europe ... so we're all at risk because Russia can't along

"Russian Official Proposes Invading Five NATO Countries"

"Russian general says Eastern Europe is next, reminding us why we need to back Ukraine"

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4181938/posts

so, spend a little, with NO American lives involved, to stop them now, or a spend a lot and involve American troops to do it later ... which do you think is the more sensible policy?

Please don’t run the same crap about Russia, the Iron Curtain, and the spread of communism, that I heard in the 50’s and 60’s. And please don’t send me unwanted links to try to prove your useless point. This country has gone full-blown commie, and I’m supposed to be worried what Putin is going to do to Europe. EFF Europe!!! I said I don’t give a crap about Russia or Ukraine. Neither is an ally to this country, and never will be. And I don’t give a crap about Europe either. They deserve everything they get.
