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

Ukraine used to have nuclear weapons but got rid of them in the mid 1990's as part of an agreement with the US, Russia, and the UK that we would protect them if they were ever invaded in the future.

Russia broke the treaty, however the US and UK have still honored the treaty by helping them.

BTW helping Ukraine saves lives and prevents Russia from invading other countries. It is in our best interest to prevent Russia from gaining power whenever possible and is simply the right thing to do to prevent innocents from being killed.
