Spin Zone / Re: Our next "Business Venture", the Ukraine
« on: December 22, 2022, 07:08:30 PM »I'm not exactly sure what all of your objections are. Is it the amount of money we are spending? I consider that as a small, selfish investment for ourselves. If Russia fails here that will strengthen our hand against Iran and China.$100 Billion - 1/10th of a Trillion - is a small, selfish “investment”? And that “investment” is going to a dictator. See anything wrong with that?
Is it Ukraine's involvement with Hunter Biden?
Or perhaps it is just the fact that Biden and the Dems are for it so you have to be against it?
Is it the incorrect use of the word "Democracy"? Perhaps what they are striving for isn't actually Democracy. Democracy isn't right for everyone. In fact, it isn't right for us either. But if they survive this in any form, they are bound to be a friend of the US and indebted to us, and we need all the friends we can get.
So convince me what you see as a problem with our support here. My only worry is that we have gone this far already. If we pull back now, we will look even worse than we did withdrawing from Afghanistan. And my biggest objection to Biden (in this regard only) so far is that he has given them too little, too late. If he had shown some backbone in January this whole fustercluck may not have ever happened in the first place. Biden has done NOTHING else that I could defend to any degree.
