Great video, AND I agree with Ryan’s good v evil assessment...
I have told friends and I’ll say it here- I truly believe the sole reason many republicans are against supporting Ukraine is because most democrats are for it.
Ronald Regan, the president admired and often cited by conservatives (including me) would roll over in his grave if he saw the way in which many republicans dismiss the threat that Russian aggression poses to US interests and world allies. Russia needs to be kept in check, and free democracies need to be kept free. It’s just that simple.
We just can’t STOP Ukrainian assistance. If we do this, and stop funding... what’s it say to Dictators around the World? “Oh, it’s ok, eventually the US will lose faith one way or another, we just have to wait it out”! That’s exactly the message it sends.
I understand we have tons of problems that need to be solved here at home.... but we CAN NOT in good conscience leave a fledgling democracy hung out to dry like this. Do any of you remember OUR HISTORY? If it was not for the FRENCH, our little rebellion against the English in the 1770’s would have been handily defeated if not for the French ships and weapons! It would be the same thing IF THE FRENCH HAD DONE IT TO US. Let’s not start down that path. It leads to more wars.
