Neocons think “The Ukraine” is their key to taking back full control of the GOP. Seeing how the ratings are dropping for anything related to Ukraine by this point I think that ship has sailed. Americans simply don’t care enough for foreign issues anyway.
Good point. For the most part, America is in no mood to spill blood and loot the American treasure over yet more foreign issues.
I think Americans care about our country doing the right thing. It was the right thing to denuke the Ukes, and assure their sovereignty in exchange. So it’s the right thing to... assure their sovereignty. The last thing we need for them to do is get pushed into a nuke corner and develop their own suitcase nuke in this their existential war. We developed our nukes in our existential war, so who are we to scold them for doing so in their existential war, especially when it was us who are betraying them?
We need to get nuclear nonproliferation right. The rest of the world is watching, knowing that the US cannot be trusted even over such an important issue as that, so they’ll develop their own nukes to assure their own sovereignty. Talk about ships that are already sailing.
