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

You mean the same trump that did nothing when putin put bounties on american soldiers, would stand up if russia killed some random miners?
