re: Ukraine has no power?

Russia is a weak nation is controversial.

so why does it require 41 countries to send endless arms and funding? why not let Ukraine fight Russia alone?

the Taliban beat the US military without any outside help. Taliban>>Ukraine confirmed.

Why not take the opportunity to bring an enemy low with some $$$ and preserve world order. But still just give a rag-tag nation that has maybe 1/4 the pop and the supposed 2nd/3rd most powerful military melts away.

The US was trying to nation build in a country that wasn’t a nation, that was in a centuries long civil/tribal war. Never get involved in a civil war and never try to nation build a Stone Age geographic region (it’s hardly a country). The US just quit after 20 years, but in now way we’re we routed or driven out by the taliban. Completely different situation. When we invaded, there were no roadblocks or setbacks.

Americans don't care about the Russia/Ukraine news story. We stuffing our faces. All is good in the world!

Ukraine knows that if they attack Russia, they are done.

Ukraine FAFO and it is very hard to feel bad when Americans are suffering because of them.

I looked at the map and wonder if the Ukrainians are such badasses why hasn’t anyone snuck across the border and taken out some Russian power plants

Why are you pretending that you don’t know why they haven’t done that?

90% of this country couldn't find Ukraine on a map a year ago and now the left has a deep emotional attachment.

If true, that says more about how fricking dumb the average American is than anything else.

Is Vacherie Saint the chairman of the House Appropriations committee?

By far. It also means that none of those people have any fricking clue on the context/history of the region or conflict. Which is an indictment on how stupid our society has chosen to become. Americans know nothing about the world or why things got to be how they are.

If you’ve ever seen random “man in the street” interviews where they ask simple civics questions you already know how ignorant the average American is. That’s one reason why I’m against convincing people to vote.

Universal suffrage is a total disaster. No argument there.

And yet there’s a serious psychological and emotional investment by 30-ish percent of the country into Ukraine. That’s really freaking weird.

How much is a U.S. citizen supposed to know about the geography and I guess geopolitics of Eastern Europe? The “context and history” of the region?

Every adult should, keyword should, have been educated on at least the basic 20th century history of these places. Hell, most adults over 30 grew up during the Cold War. Anyone educated beyond middle school who can’t point out Ukraine on a map is a moron.
