We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.
For almost 250 years the men and women of the United States armed forces have prevailed against tyranny. Your example inspires Ukrainians today to fight back against Russian aggression.
On behalf of all Ukrainians, Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service.
This is a dangerous narrative. The US Government has an annual budget in excess of $4,700,000,000,000.
Y’all really think if we stopped funding the Defense of Ukrainian we would fix domestic housing and food shortages?
The USA has hundreds of thousands of homeless people and local food shortages, but the government can 'afford' to send $40,000,000,000 to Ukraine.
Politics is so weird.
I heard the perfect Covid quote today.
“If you don’t trust doctors and science to keep you from getting sick, why the hell are you clogging up hospitals trusting them to cure you?”
I was deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2018.
During this time, I became close with one of our interpreters. He was forced to use a nickname and location for fear of the Taliban finding and hurting his family.

Ordered a pizza 2 hours ago. Delivery guy shows up. Parks on a slope. His moped falls over-hard. People stop on the street. He hands me my pizza. The moped falls over (again).
Tip your delivery guy, they are not okay.
Calling it now:
US of A has been #1 since 1776. We have the population, climate, and lack of social discipline to support the largest breakout globally.
Give it two weeks-we’ll be leading the pack.
Few lessons I hope we carry forward from this crisis:
1. Stay home when you are sick to limit the spread of disease
2. Paid sick leave to limit the spread of disease
3. Ordering take out 6 times a week to limit the spread of disease
