Our leaders believe protecting Ukraine is more important than protecting you

no it's not
and that was just a bombing campaign - not an "all in " war
that has turned into a war against Russia Ukraine isn't even part of NATO .
as you have pointed out Russia isn't a threat to NATO either.. what threat to anyone is is Ukraine??

It's a European concern.
Instead we are doing all the heavy lifting. all the spending and most of the weapons.
If you want the war to end you'd be calling for peace talks - you never do.
Your target is Putin - damn the costs to the USA

and you post such hubris to support it

Since you never said we were in a war in Yemen when Trump was providing military aid to Saudi combatants, you are not allowed to say America is at war in Ukraine.
 
America’s Putin Apologists Have Pawned their Patriotism by Glamorizing Dystopian Russia


We need to be cold, clear-eyed realists about Putin and perverse Russia that he has created in his revanchist former-KGB agent image

Unfortunately, there are many on the American radical right who see Putin as a role model. They admire his attacks on liberals and his opportunistic embrace of “family values.” These U.S. extremists want to impose their beliefs on others, undermine democracy, and silence the opposition. They aim to forbid free speech, such as Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which creates a gag order on discussing LGBTQ-related content in schools, or bills that forbid honest, historically accurate discussions of race in classrooms.

Predictably, the same traitors behind the January 6 U.S. Capitol Coup, are now cynically backing efforts to bolster Putin’s probable attack against Ukraine. Haaretz columnist David Rothkopf correctly identified Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Sen. Josh Hawley, and former impeached President Donald Trump as some of Putin’s biggest cheerleaders.

That was covered by the AUMF (droning AQAP) -and long term bi-lateral security agreements with KSA (logistical support)

if you are seriously saying we arent warring against Russia - you are in total denial
This is a ridiculous comparison
 
Reagan would be dismayed at where the GOP has gone, and that someone like Carlson is one of the leading voices of the conservative movement.

your representatives in Washington just voted to send yet another $40 billion to Ukrainian oligarchs who paid off the president's son. That's what happened, and it's just the latest check that Congress has cut them. You can add it to the approximately $14 billion they've already spent on Ukraine. That brings the total as of tonight to more than $54 billion.

How much is that? Well, for perspective, it is more than we spent per year on average on the war in Afghanistan, a war that began with a direct attack on the United States.

Where is this money going? Oh, that's the best part.

Congress has decided to fix all of the pressing problems that need to be fixed except fix them in Ukraine, not here. The main course of all this funding from day one has been to secure Ukraine's borders because, you know, you can't have a country without borders. :palm:

You do realize that the money is spent on entities coming from the US, US businesses and corporations, they don’t send the Ukrainians money to go shopping

Again, we don't send the Ukrainians blank checks to spend the money where ever they want, did you think all those weapons we are sending were produced in Albania?

We spend a lot more than $40 billion on defending the USA, and supporting us. If Russia invaded the USA, I assume we would do far more for the USA than we have done for Ukraine.

$40 billion, much of it will be spent in the USA, is less than 1% of the budget.
