The World Watches How We Respond to Ukraine - No Support Will Turn Other Allies Against Us

If they turn against us for not throwing more money at a losing cause to defend a non-NATO member whom we helped poke the Bear for decades, and believe that "American Interventionism" is still in the best interest of the globe...


...then I'd say, I would hesitate to label them as "allies", and would certainly go as far as to say we'd be better off without their "support".

Wanna know how to not be affected if Russia invades Ukraine? Could've done so by not sending troops there for years explicitly to teach their armed forces how to fight Russians in the first place (a bit late for that now). Also, Ukraine was ready to come to the table and negotiate peace terms over a year ago but the US stepped in and urged them to continue to fight. Woopsie! Wanna know how to prevent being affected when China inevitably takes Taiwan? Produce our own chips here on US soil so we don't end up dependent on the CCP for even more than we already are.

Ta-da!

At some point, we need to pull our noses out of everyone else's fricking business and fix our own problems. When every mouth is fed and no more military veterans remain homeless in the US, then we can talk about foreign aid.
