Yes these 2 facts are correct.

(1) Putin is not our friend

(2) We are much more broke than Russia and in no position to afford any foreign wars.

Putin is no one’s friend—He said: “Russia has no friends, only interests.” Same can be said of Trump. Biden has friends—anyone who can make him and his family rich. War is coming and Russia may well be ready physically and mentally for such a war. Americans do not suffer well. Take down the internet and see what happens. Americans are fat and lazy. They will not even get off their couch to bring crime under control or stop the border problems. Where are the Pro-Trump Marches? Zip. Where is the National marches to arrest Hunter Biden? Where are the shut down of all industry? Strikes? They have not and will not happen. Enjoy your chains until the balloon goes up, your sons and daughters are drafted and the rationing starts “for the war to save Ukrainian Democracy and the Democratic Party.” Join me in the town square for the two minute “Hate Trump” rally.

I agree to your point #1.

Regarding your point #2: And yet, apparently we are still affording them. Apparently, arms companies are still more than willing to accept our gaudy "Half off your next purchase of Shake 'n' Bake" coupons in exchange for advanced weapons systems.

So who is the greater fool: The drunken sailor throwing around his I.O.U.s like there was no tomorrow, or the merchants and tavern-keepers stupidly willing to accept those worthless I.O.U.s as "legal tender?"

Of the billions of dollars (govt.-printed I.O.U.s) currently being spent by the federal government for "free" abortions, BLM "murals," and other boondoggles, the money paying for weapons and ammunitions destined for Ukraine are perhaps the best-spent, insofar as they are effectively degrading Russia's ability to wage war.

Regards,
