People like to remember him as being snti-slavery. He wasn’t. He was trying to work both sides, and it happened to benefit him to end slavery.
Lincoln frequently expressed his moral opposition to slavery in public and private. “I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong,” he stated. “I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel.”
You’re lying about his positions to fit your complaint.
The right thing to do would be to allow Ukraine to use our best weapons, and strike deep within russia. But that doesn’t benefit America to end the war. Instead, it benefits America to drain russia for generations of all military, vehicles, equipment, and ability to recover. It benefits America to send a message to China to not fuck around.
While those are all ancillary benefits to NATO and their allies, a massive reason to not give Ukraine longer ranged weapons is to not catastrophically destabilize the country with the largest nuclear weapon stockpile on Earth. Furthermore, the United States has been giving Ukraine more “deep-strike” capable weapons systems very recently, since the Ukrainian invasion of the Kursk oblast.
There are plenty more reasons to withhold “carte blanche” access to more modern weapons platforms, but it’s irrelevant to what’s wrong with what you typed.
The way you frame things is what pisses me off about politics the most.
A few simple Google searches and some light reading prove your assertions as “examples” to your point wrong, but you spout drivel like this like it’s obvious. And then nuance, detail, understanding, veracity, etc. are further trampled by your obviously uneducated fan-fiction(s) because it makes you feel good to virtue-signal on the internet.
Your opinions don’t constitute reality.
