    My mom was bitching about this last night…after supporting efforts by the US & NATO when Putin first went in.

    Now we need to stop sending money over there, it’s not our responsibility, let Europe deal with it, get rid of NATO, etc etc etc. Apparently if the US stops sending aid, we could feed every hungry child & house every homeless veteran in “our country” and take care of “our people”.

    I told her those problems existed before 2022 and we didn’t fix them then, so this doesn’t really affect that now.

    “But we could! If we wanted to!”

    Well, yeah, that’s the root of the problem - we don’t want to. Ukraine is irrelevant to that argument.

    I just figured these were the new MAGA/Fox talking points & changed the subject.
