#7  "Betrayed"? What do we owe Ukraine? We have no alliance with them.

Except for telling them we'd have their backs if they gave up the nukes they inherited from the Soviet Union.

#5  War for profit? War for oil? Sheesssh, you'd think someone would come up with a new meme.

#4  "Betrayed"? What do we owe Ukraine? We have no alliance with them. Who cares what happens to Ukraine? It is of no concern to us.

You know what's important to us? Keeping our soldiers from dying in another meaningless war for profit.

#1  It has been said after Olympics China will overwhelm Taiwan. Close ties with North Korea would tell me South Korea is on the menu. Biden again and again will be a no show. His only weapon of influence is economic isolation but with China he will avoid any such effort.
