The American people don’t want endless wars and we can’t afford them. We have borrowed close to $200 billion to send to Ukraine and counting. We have a $32 trillion national debt with annual debt servicing costs of $500 billion. The Medicare Trust Fund is exhausted in 2028 and the SSTF in 2034. These programs represent an unfunded liability of $100 trillion.

We have no treaty commitments to defend Ukraine. And we are spending far more money than all of Europe combined. The EU has a GDP and population equivalent to the US. Why are we paying the lion’s share of the costs?

More and more Americans are becoming disenchanted with this proxy war against Russia.

Nikki Haley has been owned and managed by Boeing Corp. since she arrived on the political scene in South Carolina. Between its defense contracts and its sale of aircraft to foreign airlines and governments, Boeing may be the best example of a globalist corporation that doesn’t give a damn about American sovereignty or its taxpayers.

We do have an agreement to defend Ukraine. The Budapest accord where they gave up a huge nuclear arsenal in return for our guarantee of their territorial integrity. And this lifelong Republican is NOT voting for any Republican who won’t stand by that promise.

Isn't it because we're stuck in NATO?
