Even 10 billion USD worth of arms to Georgia will make very little difference against Russia. I have nothing against Georgians but I don’t want to give my tax dollars to them.

Democrats said that a lot when the Russians invaded Afghanistan. Reagan gave them the arms anyway. The USSR was soon in the ash heap of history.

But we have been propping up Georgia for many years with aid. They were in the top three countries for aid for the last few years. One year they were number one.

And it is the pipeline we are supporting, and the fight against Russian dominance of energy in Europe.

The world is not a good place when Russia can terrorize all of Europe into doing what it wants. Eventually it will reach us, one way or the other.
