:eye_roll: I can already tell this would be a silly conversation, with you just repeatedly shouting "RINO! RINO!"

Republicans objecting to helping Ukraine because of cost are either blithering morons, compromised by Russian propaganda, or both. Take your pick.




So you believe in spending with no limits, no controls, and no accountability

Because that is what is happening today..


Or they do not care about ethnic war on periphery of Europe that affects none of US vital interests? Making irrelevant war in far remote country existential good vs evil struggle is how US got into Vietnam. The fact that there were zero negative consequences for US after fall of South Vietnam tells you that it was bullshit from beginning.

The same with Afghanistan. I disagree with Biden on many points but getting out of that country was the best possible course. Same situation as with Vietnam - with Taliban in power in Afghanistan there are zero negative consequences for US. What's more Taliban is apparently better than US or former "Afghan" government in suppressing actual terrorist activities that can threaten US.

Not every war is WW2 and struggle for world domination.
