Ukraine thinks they can win (drive Russia out) We should give em the tools.
We could give them hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions worth of more munitions and the best they will do is continue the stalemate. They are not going to do what is necessary to end this - drive the Russians completely out of Ukraine, push deep into Russia, and put a stake through Putin's chest. Ain't gonna happen unless WE do it, and none of us want to go there. Plus, we're trillions in debt, so it's time to plug all of these massive leaks.
Corrupt ally like vietnam? We should only support perfect allies? Remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Yes, the powers-that-be in Ukraine are corrupt ... and FAR from being a viable ally ... and are not to be trusted with billions of our dollars or our most sophisticated weaponry. I don't mind giving substantial aid and sophisticated weaponry to Israel because they have the will, the intelligence, and the know-how to use what we give them and would stand with us to the bitter end in a fight. But not Ukraine ... they would fold like a house of cards when the sh!t hit the fan.
Us negotiating a deal for Ukraine? Are we gonna let Ohio State negotiate the picks for college football champeenship playoffs?
Some third-party needs to step in and try to help both sides see reason or else this tragedy is gonna continue to fester like the Hatfields and the McCoys on steroids. If you don't wanna bother with that, okay ... then just let it reach its dreadful but predictable conclusion.
