And what has acting like the world’s police force gotten us? Lots of dead and maimed American kids and an economy that’s barely limping along because we expend our treasure in overseas folly after overseas folly. America is our vital interest, period. Let the rest of the world defend themselves.
If nothing else, this Ukrainian falderol has shown NATO to be the paper tiger that we all knew it was. It has not goal, no ability, and no resolve to solve issues on their own front doorstep.
Of course, they rely on the corruption centered on Ukraine as much as or more than the US elite. So they also do not want a rapid cure, but rather a slow hospice care solution to the war.

We won the Cold War at a cost reasonable to the costs of losing that war.
