What should U.S. policy be towards the Ukraine conflict?

We ran out of money $32T+ ago..

As of May 31, 2023, the value of U.S. bilateral aid commitments to Ukraine represented 0.33 percent of our GDP.

We haven't balanced a budget in 23 years. We spend a trillion more than we take in annually. Do you understand anything about debt? Obviously not. Earning POTENTIAL is not earnings.

There is good debt and bad debt. Just ask Trump, the "King of Debt".

As I said, obviously you know nothing about debt. The only good debt is NO debt.

Are you 5 years old? You obviously know nothing about finance. I borrowed money to buy my house. It is now worth four times what I paid. Good debt. If I borrowed money to buy a car it would be worth much less by the time I paid off the loan. Bad debt. Companies borrow money all the time because they figure they can make more that the debt will cost.

The US uses tax money to build up infrastructure. Good debt. The US uses tax money to give checks to tax payers. Bad debt.

See a pattern?

No sense in cherrypicking: by default, nuclear will involve the entire planet.

The problem is the USG is the powerful invader.

United Sorosian Globalists

Read the title of the OP moron. Ukraine isn't infrastructure nor is it a money making investment. No war is.

Here is the first in a string of posts in a thread with sourced documentation that clearly outlines and explains how Russia is the sole instigator of this conflict. (Exactly as I have said all along)

The white house is quietly making its way toward rebuilding Ukraine with your tax dollars... so now even when we don't bomb one thing we have to rebuild what Russia blew up.....

If Trump wins, he will make Mexico pay for it

Trump is going to win and people will pay....

Somebody has to pay his legal bills
You know Trump won’t

If Trump does he would have to pay everyone's bills.... but he still might pay them anyway... but you would never know one way or the other....

Here is my suggestion for U.S. policy towards the Ukraine conflict:
1. Offer Russia a cease fire agreement. If they agree, we will stop further military aid to Ukraine and will oppose its membership in NATO.
2. If Russia does not agree, we will start placing nuclear missiles all along its borders with NATO countries.

What say you?

Hands off....... No more money or support. They are not our 51st state. We have no obligation to them.

Propaganda.

You read none of it but declare sourced and verified information to be "propaganda"?

Ummmm.....that word doesn't mean what you think it means.

The enemy of our enemy is our friend. One end that I see is that the murdering autocrat, Putin is removed and his goal of reconstituting the Russian Empire of the Czars is forgotten. That is in our interest.

If you don’t know this war was provoked and peace prevented by the West, you don’t know anything.

Apparently I do...and it seems to be more than you do.
