As with respect to Ukraine, I, as an American, do not wish the United States to pay $1 trillion in what I believe will be a vain attempt to defeat Russia. Again, an observation of others allowing their desires to shape their beliefs.
Even if that assertion weren't shaky on the grounds of mere reality in ukraine, that would seem like a rough pill to me. Russia obviously doesn't believe it's a vain attempt, eh? Hence the whole proxy war bit of bullshit. But so what if it were? We fail trying to do good rather than resign ourselves to a comfortable evil? What's the point of being able to help, or even try to help, if we won't?
It seems, to me, like the fuck you got mine theory of human civilization..and, in my experience, that's how everyone ends up with nothing.
The United States cannot be a World Police force; we have our own problems. Do not let the war in Ukraine turn into a fiscal black hole, or, worse, the detonator for WW III.
