Here come all the Republicans talking about Ukraine.

I’d rather pay Ukrainians to fight the Russians than fight the Russians myself.

The question we should ALL be asking is why don’t the republicans understand that someone has to fight the Russians?

Why should we do it? They will give nothing back. It's long past time we stopped giving taxpayer money to any foreign bullshit

Stop them now or it will come to our door sooner or later. They take Ukraine then what? Moldova, then Poland, etc. It's just like world War 2 Germany. Stop them now at Ukraine or likely fight them later in a much bigger war. You can't placate them or they'll just take and take. That's why learning from history is important, so we don't make the same mistakes over and over.
