    I believe america is broke.
    It lost manufacturing advantage and rapidly falling behind china in most areas. Nothing is made here anymore.

    And then - us won’t engage in the open conflict with Russia, it can’t - which means the only option is sending weapons and hopes and prayers.

    This model - the only thing it accomplishes is prolonging the suffering with inevitable ukraine defeat. Same with Taiwan - us can’t win that war and should just let it go.

    I don’t see a point in that. I don’t care about that.
    I say - just cut a deal with Putin and move along.

    This is one of the few things I agree with Trump on.

      No, it lets people fight for their homes. It stops russian colonialism. The only thing the US COULD do is beat other countries at war… for now. Cutting a deal with putin is pulling a Chamberlain, russia will keep committing atrocities and anexing others.
