This war has opened an inch wider to becoming a world war.

This is bs he’s not threatening to put troops in.
He’s predicting Russian success will lead to further Russian aggression.
Very likely true.

Reminds me of the picture: “Pay me or I shoot the dog”. With the hundreds of billions already spent, I doubt any more will help as there soon will be no Ukrainians left alive to fight.

Because he’s not threatening to send US troops into Ukraine.

Then let them send US troops. And let them pay the price with the revolution we need.

The Ukraine war is a European war that affects Europeans in Europe.

Ukraine is not, nor has it ever been a United States ally.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO.

When the European countries contribute substantially more resources, to the point of "almost all in", only then should we consider any sort of aid.

This Grandpa and Veteran of the Vietnam war (in which we came in second place) does not want to see another senseless repeat.

The deployment of U S troops in Ukraine would probably result in Putin using nukes. Thanks Brandon for starting World War Three. Democrats got us involved in World War One. Democrats got us into World War Two. Now the bas****s want to start World War Three.
