Because I think in many cases geopolitics and foreign policy transcend domestic party activity. That's why by and large the US foreign policy has been consistent regardless of who is in the white house. Speaking from a grand strategy perspective supporting Ukraine to the maximum extent possible is the right move ten times out of ten here. Russia can't take Ukraine, because what comes next is Romania and / or Poland. Their activity and execution on the line of securing geographic strong points has been consistent and deliberate since G W Bush.
NATO must not meet Russia on the battlefield, period.
Again, I'm good with Russia getting their asses kicked here. However, common sense and basic ethics should dictate that we know how we are spending this money but few on either side care anymore. Just kind of blows my mind we are willing to sacrifice that simply because of revenge porn against an adversary that hasn't been relevant to us in decades.
Frankly, I'm not sure why I care anymore. What we spend really no longer matters since we are on the path to destruction already.
Russia would never attack a NATO country in the first place. That was never their intent here. I simply don't understand how some of y'all think that was the plan. The plan was always Ukraine, Kstan, and Moldova according to the former US officials and geopolitical experts.
