Arming Ukraine With F-16s Could Trigger Nuclear War
i think we should support Ukraine to the fullest extent of war.
I know of no republicans who agree the Russia should have invaded the Ukraine and should be able to keep the land that the now possess. However, they are there and they will not leave.
The question now is how to go forward with a war that Ukraine will not win. I don't have the answer but sending over hundreds of billions of $ to one of the most corrupt governments to "fight on" should be questioned.
In addition, this unfunded aid proposal to both the Ukraine and Israel weakens us economically as we are already $35 trillion in debt.
It is time that countries in Europe step up both economically and militarily to Russia.
BTW - Biden was the president when Russia began it's aggressive posturing towards the Ukraine and he did nothing to help the Ukraine. His comment at the time was: "I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do."
Here are the top political news stories for today.
Before the West decides to keep the money flowing, because the spending is good for US defense earnings and bad for Putin, Ukraine citizens should have a right to vote and decide if they wish to continue the fighting, or seek peace.
It is very clear that the Ukrainians want to fight. Two years on and they are still fighting off their larger neighbour. Isn't this obvious? Do you think that the Ukrainians want to be occupied by a foreign regime that jails people for peaceful protests, that murders political opponents and that denies the existence of a Ukrainian nation?
I notice that you don't suggest that the Russian citizens should vote on whether or not they support an imperialist illegal war. Why not? You write about Ukrainians not being able to leave the country, but you ignore the thousands of political prisoners in Russia, who know they could be murdered at any time without recourse to justice. This is what awaits any country that the Russians occupy. The double-speak in your comment is mind-blowing.
Think Germany, Italy and Japan circa 1930’s. American isolationists and appeasers were as wrong then as they are today…and we all know how that turned out.

The "American isolationists and appeasers" theory is overdone. By the late 1930s, the United States had the second largest navy in the world (after Britain's) and had stationed an army and air force in the Philippines near Japan. We had an operational military and industrial plan to mobilize for war with Germany and Japan. We were supplying China with weapons to fight the Japanese while placing a trade embargo on Japan to choke off their raw materials. We were supplying the British and Soviets with Lend-Lease equipment to fight the Germans. FDR had ordered our navy to "sink on sight" German submarines in the North Atlantic. That was all done in 1940 and 1941 BEFORE the Japanese and Germans declared war on us. It was hardly isolationist.
