Better to heavily arm Ukraine so they can put Russian forces right back in their box. Nullify anything Putin has and maybe he’ll be the one who flies out of a high window making the world a safer place.
Remember that the only “peace treaty” Putin would entertain is him getting part, and eventually all of Ukraine. He claims it’s always been part of Russia, but then why do they have a separate language and culture?
After the Soviet Union fell, the Russians could have joined Western Europe in their robust economy and become a modern state. The problem is that nobody there, having lived under totalitarian rule for centuries, had any idea how to do that. They sold the state assets off to a few guys, who installed Putin and made him rich, so he would do their bidding.
The point of NATO and the various evolutions of the EU is that it (a) stopped Europe from being attacked and (b) stopped European countries attacking each other, and so prevented major wars. The alliance has also done well in containing and then stopping conflict on the European mainland, principally the former Yugoslavia.
And the reason it worked as a deterrent to Russian aggression is because everyone knew it was solid. As soon as cracks appear (Brexit, tRump’s various comments) then the aggressors think it is ok to use force. Exactly what we have seen in Ukraine. Putin thought tRump had weakened the resolve of the West, so he attacked a peaceful neighbour.
Well, the White Christian Nationalist party is all about brining on the apocalypse. Stiffing those depending on us is a necessary step toward the rapture.
Have thought about that…what if Mexico decided it wanted the SW states and SoCal because of “traditional culture” or some other ill-defined excuse. You gonna give Texas back or Arizona, or any of the MAGA states? Didn’t think you would…Slava Ukraine…
House to vote on Mayorkas impeachment again after another embarrassing failed attempt. So much winning – NOT;-)
‘Must be hard for Li’l Mikey Jesus H Johnson to get ANYTHING done FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE when he’s being screamed at by the shrill shrieks of the loudmouth scum of his party, and the aggressive edicts of a Private Citizen – the überLoser.
He has to be careful, though – ‘cause he wasn’t the first choice for Speaker – or the second choice – but the dead last choice – kinda like the skinny kid that’s chosen last for his “team”.
Republicans used to love America and freedom and rights but now only love trump the dump, Russia, China and any third world dictatorships. I think republicans really have not changed about loving dictators and just hid their hate for America since they start all of the illegal wars and create our economic collapses.
New flash, Ukraine has offered an expanse luxury trip for Trump and leaders of GOP. They will be housed in the front lines, Trump can wave to his Russian friends too.

They have NO IDEA what it will cost if we abandon them.
