I always find it amusing watching Democrats lining up with neocon RINOs in the march to war with Russia, the very people they used to denigrate and excoriate.  The old saying that politics does indeed make strange bedfellows is at work with this one.  As I pointed out above, these buffer countries between Russia and Europe have always been the unlucky recipients of the ongoing tug of war, under the guise of greater security from aggression.  I personally think there are good arguments for assisting Ukraine and good arguments for being reluctant to do so in any significant way.  Absent the real and increasing threat of China I might be more inclined to help them as it is never a  bad thing to limit Russia's expansionist aims. 

But I live in the real world and I am 100% certain that China would love nothing more than us getting into a shooting war with Russia.....in fact, it would not surprise me in the least if Xi has prompted Putin to provoke us (ala the downing of our drone and other provacations).  They know full well we cannot be in a military conflict with both Russia and China at the same time.  Xi doesn't care what happens to Russia but wiill supprt them to keep us distracted.   A perfect opening for them to move against Taiwan...not that having Brandon in the White House isn't enough of a motivator to take advantage of this historic opportunity.

The left accusing people that are reluctant as being pro-Putin is nonsense.  I am not pro-Putin (I detest the guy and think he is an evil kleptocrat), I am pro America and I am struggling to understand the current fixation with Ukraine.
