At least the dam break ended American involvement in the war.

It Just Keeps Coming’: Rescuers Reach Inundated Neighborhood

Low-lying areas of Kherson were a panorama of water and floating debris. One man stood on a cabinet in his living room waiting for hours for help.

No way can we justify continuing to spend billions in heavy weaponry to keep this fight going.  The Russians and Ukrainians are in a mess together now -- they will have to work together without our billions prolonging the suffering to make an agreement both sides there can live with...

Sometimes no further help is coming, and you got to get off the cabinet, wade through the mess you're innundated with, and work to help yourself.  Sometimes in the end it's less costly, because oh, what those heroic "rescuers" can damage in the process...

This is not the US's fight -- the Ukranian war -- or in our national security interests to keep pounding the place with our first-world-and-beyond weaponry.  We made a big problem worse with our "help".

No way could any politician approve spending another dime nevermind billions to "defend" Ukraine now, not with so many questions about who blew up the Nord stream pipeline and now the Nova Kakhovka dam...

Personally, I don't think Ukrainian militias could have pulled that off without US finanical and technological backing.  Sometimes you get so big, everything you touch shatters even when you plead that you only have the best intentions and want  to be a protective hero.

Sometimes letting people alone to solve their differences themselves is the most heroic thing you could.  Ask a parent sitting on the sidelines watching the kids work out their issues themselves.  That still happens in America, right? ;-)
