The tribal answer is the one you got from ChatNPC just now. The programming won't let it type anything else.

This subject is nuanced. The Russians invaded Ukraine with their army of drunken rapist war criminals. While the Ukraine ranks as one of the most corrupt in the world and is clearly a Biden Crime family business partner, realpolitik demands we deal with the world the way it is, not the way we wish it would be.

I say let them stack as many Russian orcs as high as they can. However, we can't bankrupt ourselves -or- deplete our war stocks to do it. Russia is a paper tiger: they can't project any real power even over their own border. The best they can do is stir up trouble. This is yet another European matter that needs France and Germany to spend far more than they're willing to. Those two have always had the philosophy of defending Western Europe right down to the last American, Pole and now Ukrainian.

We're running a $2 trillion deficit right now. Where is that money going? That's the real question that's not being asked.
