Yes. Can someone let me know 1) what vital interests to the US are involved in risking all for Ukraine vs. Russia?
2) What interests are same for Taiwan vs. China involvement by US?
After the useless deaths and maiming of young men (no females then in military) in the Vietnam War, in the peace afterward which McCain and others made smiling, backslapping business deals with the new leaders of Vietnam (Communists).
Since I was a child (yes, born in the same weeks as President Trump in 1946 I was taught to duck and cover under my grade school desk) I wondered if someday the leaders of either side would unleash an all out nuclear war.
Fail Safe, Dr.Strangelove and One the Beach were some of the grim movies I saw and novels I read.
I would wonder what exactly triggered it (no TV or radio to report why bombs blew up the cities) and who was at fault. We would soon be dead and only Slim Pickens would be whooping as he died.
To me, none of this (or another Afghanistan or Iraq) is worth our lives. And not worth dying to give a victory to the Dems, either.
