This has been a hot topic for conservatives. I fully support Ukraine, but at some point, they have to say they can’t push Russia out. Ukraine does not have the manpower or firepower to dislodge Russia. They’ve tried and failed. Western support is starting to go down because they have not made progress.

I don’t know the solution, but right now, it’s just a war of attrition, and Ukraine loses in that scenario. I suspect this will be a big topic of discussion during the presidential debates.

      Well I can’t disagree with that. I am not a huge Trump fan for many reasons but I did like when he called out our ‘allies’ when they were not spending their agreed on amount. About time someone did it.

      NATO is only valuable if everyone contributes their fair share. Otherwise it’s us once again protecting Europe. That isn’t our job.

      Our job is to protect America.

        If you ask me, we should pull out of nato. It serves no purpose for us in this day and age. And if history shows anything, it’s that this perpetual meddling is exactly how we get dragged into direct wars where we send thousands of Americans to die for some random country too incompetent to hold their own.

          Russia invading its neighbors

          Right

            Unless you’re genuinely concerned about the possibility of Russia launching a naval invasion of Alaska, you might note that the US is not a neighbor of Russia.

            Beyond that, Europe is plenty capable of defending itself. Russia isn’t the military power is used to be.

              Europe should be able to defend itself. It isn’t our job to spend our tax money defending Europe all the time.

          I think it is also a drain on our resources. We spend billions protecting other countries when they don’t protect themselves. It isn’t our job to protect Europe. We have had to save them several times from themselves
