Re: “...but we have to be careful to weigh the costs versus the benefits in the long run”
Exactly. In fact, this you've just described the chief problem I have with ribit's and Zimbler's positions. Neither seems to care about the high expense of fighting an protracted war, one where the United States derives little benefit. Ukraine is Vietnam all over again, in my opinion. Did we learn nothing?

If fending off Russia would cost the west a pittance, I'd be a little more supportive. But that's not the case. The cost per capita is in the hundreds of dollars - too much! - for which we derive little except a depleted stockpile of armaments and ammo.

China must be laughing its ass off.

True. We are financially draining ourselves when we are already neck-deep in debt to fund a stalemate in Ukraine that could go on forever. I have no problem helping to check Putin's power grabs, but we have to be careful to weigh the costs versus the benefits in the long run - especially when we have a dipsh!t Secretary of the Treasury who wants us to fund Ukraine's education system!

What a bloody moron!

Many Canadians are figuring it out, too ... 

Trudeau blames 'right-wing, American MAGA' after Canadian Conservative Party votes against Ukraine bill

Of course, Trudeau is simply an infantile idiot who never met a tax he didn't like. Canadian Conservatives support Ukraine against Russia, but they simply don't want to see Canadians taxed into financial ruin and oblivion. Trudeau doesn't want to debate the obvious issue, so he parrots the dementia patient in The White House and absurdly declares that Canada has an "American MAGA" problem."
