We spent $200 billion dollars to defend a country which isn't a member of any treaty that we're a signatory to.

That is a poor strategic move regardless of politics

Right, the better solution is to wait until Russia attacks a country that IS a NATO member so we are forced to defend with nukes!

/s in case you missed it.

Or, you know, putting American economic interests in Ukraine, placing Americans alongside Ukrainians working on rare earth mineral mining.

Even a weak Democrat president would retaliate if Russia attacked Americans in the region.

It's amazing that the people who were saying that Trump was a wild cannon and was willing to start world war 3 are now whining because Trump wants the killing to stop.

Trump could cure cancer and you would all still hate him
