--- "This is insane and people need to get past their kneejerk reactions of Putin/Zelensky because the root causes of this illustrate the dangerous idiocy of the Ivy-league morons in charge of our foreign policy. We have military forces strewn all over the globe right now and I sure don't think all of them (or even most) are representing your interests or mine."

One should not lose sight of the princelings of Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and Romney who were raking millions in through "legal" escapades in Ukraine, which made it well worth "defending" for their own venal interests, and NOT for the average Ukrainian or American. Graft of the sort that was likely lining the pockets of many in the political class here and in Europe was worth fighting for.... (sarcasm)

Additionally, while our nation's national debt rivals that during the depths of the second world war, we are shoveling money into a hole which better could be spent easing the burdens of Americans or bettering our American future at home.

For my view, worldwide corruption is raging around the world like a wounded animal as "order" is in chaos, the worthless paper of climate change carbon credits and worthless currencies which are wholly imaginary are blowin' in the wind.

Very well said.
