This is absolutely an example of what George Washington warned us about - stay away from entangling alliances.
The USA people will get trapped into doing the bidding of others, not based upon our decisions or what is in our interest, but instead based upon the decisions of others. If the Ukranians decide to attack Russia then they have the ball not the USA.
I’m weary of the USA being used as a cash cow and world policeman by other nations. Let them sacrifice.
Oh. We were just supposed to let 5000 nukes drift to wherever...
I also suspect GW was glad the French did not have his viewpoint in years previous. I think his point was to be careful about entering alliances, not to avoid all.
