Putin’s been around for a while. If we REALLY thought he was some kind of monster, then why did we allow ourselves to unilaterally disarm?

...and what’s the point of sending arms to Ukraine, do we REALLY think that they can read the instruction manuals (if we even have them printed in Ukranian) and then start blasting away Russian tanks and planes?

Because "we" as in the American electorate, were more concerned about free abortions, free birth control, homosexual marriage, and union control, than we were about leadership that could stand up to our enemies.

what's the point? Finding new ways to funnel money into the MIC, that's the point. Who cares if they read the instructions as long as the check clears. Guess who's account those checks will drawn on...
