I don't care if Lenin was the elected leader of Ukraine, and he dumped his missiles and weaponry because the likes of Bill Clinton and Obama talked him into it, I still don't give a crap about Ukraine, or Russia, nor do I want my tax dollars sent there, especially because not one penny of the billions that they've received, has ever been accounted for. Neither have the weapons we've sent there. And that's what happens in proxy wars. Nobody's held accountable for anything, but let's make sure they have a blank check to operate with.

If the Ukraine people weren't dumb, why did they elect Leonid Kravchuk, who you call a Russian shill as their first President? That's on them. I'm not responsible for their bad decisions. The U.K. was also involved in the Budapest Memorandum. It's time they stepped up, and encouraged the rest of Europe to step up too, and police their own backyard. It's not our job. Other countries we have had treaties and agreements with have broken them repeatedly, so what justifies sticking to a memorandum that wasn't even approved by Congress, nor ever been ratified. It's just a piece of paper.

You can ramble on all you want, trying to justify saving Ukraine's ass, and I'm saying, I have no interest in that country, or any country that has gotten where they are because of bad decisions, and another country has come along to take advantage of that. This country is where it is because of lies, deceit, manipulation, corruption and lawlessness. We are in an extremely weak position, and our enemies are taking advantage of it. Excuse me if I'm a bit more concerned about my own country's wellbeing than some spit of land I have no connection to.

I'm not Ukraine's Mommy. I already raised two sons alone, and have no interest in paying to raise anyone else's. The fact that you are repeating the talking points from the Biden Administration, and the likes of Antony Blinken makes me cringe.

It turns out that Ukraine was paid $110 million to sign the Budapest Memorandum and give up its nuclear weapons. It is the second poorest country in Europe (after Moldova) and after the collapse of the USSR times were tough so they must have really needed money. However, Kravchuk was previously the head of the Ukrainian branch of the Soviet Communist Party, so who knows where his loyalties really lay.

That has already happened.
