So Biden is now proposing $10 billion for Ukraine aid. Zelensky, grateful for the aid, says it is a pity it did not come BEFORE the war.
Which begs the bigger question.
What has the West been spending money on for the last few decades.?
The NATO nations turned a blind eye on their individual minimums of 2% opting, instead, for Windmills and Welfare.
And now a dictator with nukes is running amok.
If the government shirks its main responsibilities of protecting its citizens what is the point of having a government?
See Defund the Police for variants of this idiocy.
Basically...
The West ignored the rise of Russia and China, and was busy with climate change folly etc instead of arming itself for absolute protection of every country in it.
Washington has made Alliances...NATO, ANZUS, AUKUS etc.
If Washington is no longer committed to these Alliances and wants out, it should just say so.
American people want to stay out of more wars, no American lives at risk?...understandable and fair enough.
Say so, declare that it's "every country for itself" and let the cards fall where they may.
The countries with nukes will have an advantage, those with no nukes will quickly be taken over and enslaved by the China-Russia communist monster military, the largest ever seen on earth.
China-Russia would then rule the world, own everything in the world one way or another.
America would then be their servant.
What US economy? There'd be no such thing.
What there would be...Americans eating grass to survive, as in North Korea.
