It looks like a beautiful balloon.
Of course there is negative, it is why I had to correct your misleading people on what the data says.
You are trying to sell a point of view, not actual data.
Why not just let Graham play president for the rest of the term?
I think it has everything to do with it, as this is a fundamental aspect of being an American, and to do nothing to aid Ukraine or to let Putin win would be wrong.
A lot of Americans like me grew up on westerns, cop shows and law and order programs like Perry Mason where the good guys ALWAYS rode to the rescue of those who needed help, who needed to be saved from bad people and bad situations. The compelling need to help is or was in our national DNA and, for some, our Christian DNA, first and foremost.
The American military did this or tried to in WWs I&II, Korea, Vietnam and many other conflicts around the world and I think Ukraine is another such occasion where we have to help.
Why? Because, America has been blessed with great wealth and power in the world and, as Uncle Ben told Peter Parker, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
And that sounds a lot like “to whom much is given much is required” from Luke 12:48.
I also grew up on comic book super heroes who had to fight the evil super villains, no matter what. It’s a call to duty that must be answered.
Russia is being evil and doing evil and “evil triumphs when good people do nothing.” But if they do nothing to stop that evil, then they aren’t all that good anyway, are they?
I believe President Trump is a good man and I believe we are still a good people and a good country, which is why President Trump will help Ukraine. It’s the right thing to do.
There’s a whole bunch of people in Africa that could use your do-gooderism.
Then you can go help the Norklandians.
Oops. That’s right.
They’re not Ukrainians.
Truth! Justice! The American Way!
We, the people, may be effed up and crazy these days, but, as imperfect as we are, we somehow managed to elect Donald J. Trump 2 or 3 times, we still believe in God and we still do what we can to give to those in need and help those who need help.
And Russia is still as effed up as it ever was, apparently, and I am grateful to God that I was not born there or next door to them. I’ve seen how they treat their own and their neighbors. None for me, thanks.
I think you have chess confused with Risk.
“Humans and monsters cannot coexist.”
What’s changed?
They have been coexisting for millennia, if not longer.
Hell, they’re everywhere.
“Trump wants a deal to end the war in Ukraine.”
The question is: Why is it so important to him? Why not just walk away?

Why should you care what Trump wants to do in Ukraine? Why don’t you just walk away? Trump will not be sending any troops there. He will be sending some weapons that European nations will pay for.
This is not a forever war, if when Trump arms Ukraine against Russian mafia thugs.
Anyways blame your hero Vlad Putin, for getting Trump pissed off enough to arm Ukraine.
