Except for the last three years of Biden giving billions of US taxpayer $ to the black hole that is Ukraine, while you and yours encouraged it.

That’s a shallow take that ignores the bigger picture. The U.S. support for Ukraine isn’t about handouts — it’s about defending international law, deterring aggressive imperialism, protecting American interests and upholding the values of sovereignty and self-determination.
Ukraine didn’t ask to be invaded. They didn’t provoke war. They were attacked by a nuclear-armed neighbor aiming to redraw borders by force. Supporting Ukraine isn’t charity — it’s an investment in a rules-based global order.
If the world had ignored Ukraine, it would’ve sent a signal that conquest and mass brutality by NeoSoviets (and their islamo-commie friends) are acceptable tools of statecraft in the 21st century. That would encourage further aggression — not just from Russia, but from other authoritarian powers watching closely. It would have weakened America’s security. Also, Europe has given more to Ukraine than America has - and they don’t whine about it - let that be remembered.
Let’s also not forget: Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in 1994 in exchange for security assurances from the U.S., UK, and Russia under the Budapest Memorandum. That was a courageous act for global stability. When those assurances were violated, helping Ukraine wasn’t optional — it was about keeping our word.
Americans don’t support Ukraine out of pity — they support a proud, resilient nation that has stood its ground with unbelievable courage. Ukraine is defending not just its own freedom, but the security of Europe, the strategic interests of the United States, and the principle that authoritarian regimes like the Russia-Iran-North Korea-China axis cannot rewrite borders through brute force.
That’s why this matters. And that’s why history will remember it with respect.
“imagine if we had harris, she’d fold like a cheap 2 piece suit and give up ukraine at the snap of putin’s finger.”
Then kindly explain why Zelensky interfered in our election last year to help Harris and the Democrats.
