Trump ends our involvement in Ukraine war.

[TimFitz]

What legacy would that be? Kissing Stalin's ass while handing over half of Europe to him?

You need 90 days observation. Ukraine is a smaller-scale version of Russia, a corrupt kleptocracy. I flatly do not give a shit what happens-if you support Ukraine so much, head over there and sign up!

You have a vivid imagination.

“What legacy would that be? Kissing Stalin's ass while handing over half of Europe to him? ”

Why do you ask?

It’s what you want today.

Your approach brought us WWII.

We already know burying your head in isolationism is a recipe for failure,

Being brought into a foreign war + Because you are an isolationist = Cognitive dissonance

Good for the Trump camp. We don’t need to be wasting hundreds of billions on this war.

It's too bad the world had to lose Ukraine but it would have never happened if Biden hadn't gotten out of Afghanistan so badly.

If we've cut off military aid to Ukraine - which I do not favor - then...

We now get to see whether the UK and France and Germany and Poland et al still "own a pair" and can soldier-on with this...

I hope they do...

And, with a recalcitrant Putin, there's a good chance that Trump will throw-up his hands in the coming weeks...

Once (if-and-when) he does that, it seems likely that he'd turn the American Arms Faucet back on again...

Meanwhile... the Ukrainians are still in decent shape with respect to supplies and the Euros may keep them propped up.

And nobody in office to collect the 10% kickback on the money laundering.

Apparently, it was more like 50%.

It's a temporary stay for I think 85 days--Townhall says 90 days-- to give the Administration time to audit where the money is actually going, what it is being used for, and get some rules and tracking methods into place for any future outlays where foreign aid is warranted. I'm sure some will be cancelled because of no transparency. Some will be cancelled because it is in no way in America's interest. Some will be cancelled because it's stupid.

Example of stupid: millions sent to Pakistan for gender studies. Can anybody tell me how that will benefit any American or is in any way in any American's interest? Or will benefit Pakistan for that matter?

If Zelensky cooperates with our efforts to find a way to end the war and allows full transparency, I am pretty sure at least some aid to the Ukraine will continue.

Is the inroads into Europe if Russia would win.
Thought WW2 TAUGHT US

That until country's start fighting back, DICTATORS keep moving forward.

How many billions of BORROWED money are we supposed to piss down that hole? Why doesn't Europe foot the bill? Is Ukraine going to pay us back??

The fact is Russia is suspicious of everybody. Having another large NATO country on their southwest border was not all that much risk for them given that 14 NATO countries border on Russia. But with both Zelensky and Biden pushing for NATO to take on the Ukraine and knowing Biden was too weak to do much about it, Russia had an excuse and the opportunity to attack.

Shortly after Russia attacked, Zelensky asked for EU membership and has been awarded EU candidate status. Putin no doubt is not thrilled about the Ukraine becoming a EU country either. More the reason for Putin to continue to win this war.

By all metrics, Russia is the #1 most corrupt country in Europe and the Ukraine was/is #2. Zelensky came to power as a promised reformer, but the reform never happened. If it was not for the horrendous loss of life and all those bodies piling up, there is little reason to care who wins though there won't be a winner in all likelihood. (In the sense of justice though, we pull for the Ukraine because they were one ones attacked.)

I suspect there will probably be a cease fire within the 85 days of the pause in foreign funding and all this may be a moot point anyway. I certainly hope so.

The real screaming is going to come from our resident Congress critters who have been on the receiving end of all those boomerang bucks.

Who cares? As long as we're not paying for the end of it.
