I called it a red herring because you are deliberately failing to distinguish between supporting Ukraine with armaments, and actual troops on the ground or plains in the air. You are pretending that support for the former necessary implies support for the latter, and that's false.

You've also drawn the false dichotomy between helping Ukraine defend its borders, and our own failure to defend ours. But the two have literally nothing to do with each other. The Biden Administration was not defending our border long before the Ukraine war, and ending support for Ukraine wouldn't change that in the slightest.

The Democrats are, on principle, against securing the southern border regardless of what happens overseas.

I stand by everything I said.

Obviously, sending US troops and sending resources are two different things, but in my opinion, both are ill-advised.

Clearly, you disagree - but instead of supporting your case, you choose to accuse me of red herrings and false dichotomies.

If you want to be taken seriously, just use reason to make your case, rather than doing a lousy job of poking holes in mine.
