And if the US signs off on that, what will other countries think about how much support they can count on from us?

Don’t you think they’ll just cut deals with our enemies that go against our interests?

Our values are ours. They can align with those, or those of our enemies. Their choice.

We cannot allow ourselves to be subjected to blackmail and extortion to have allies.

We helped. They lost. It's over.

Russia is not our problem? What will other countries think about whether they can count on US support in times of trouble? And you don’t think the US’s own economic well-being depends on a stable world order?

No, Russia is not our problem. And other countries can build their own military. We are $34 trillion in debt with millions of people coming through our border.

Russia is not our problem? You mean the US would be unaffected by Russia, China, and Iran expanding their power around the world?

As for the debt, the key there is getting entitlements under control —and Trump has said that’s off the table.

We’ve pushed Russia and China together by funding Ukraine, and spent decades appeasing China and sending them all of our IP and manufacturing jobs.

You think funding Ukraine is going to help solve that?
