Mo Money, Mo Problems.

More Money, Bigger Problems...

Can I help break it down for you?  Some people think non-experts cannot think.  "We don't KNOW what is happening in Russia.  Only the EXperts can tell us!"

Naw, if you a reader and thinker, you know this:

Russia is not a backwater like the little states American military where has recently invaded and helped overthrow leaders and then left in chaos.  This one has nuclear weapons.  If you let the "insurgents" or the "rebels" or the tribal groups become the government to replace the "baddies" that America cannot do business with, it's worse than a crapshoot who you are dealing with...

It is one thing to overthrow a Ukraine

You can always install your "people" via a popular local leader or even special help with the balloting.  When Zelensky is gone, perhaps the United States would be able to work with whomever replaces his leadership.  But Russia?

If stable government goes, we are looking at a much less secure world.  This isn't Libya we will be leaving to fend for itself.  This isn't a dog-eat-dog fight for life in Afghanistan.  This is nuclear-armed Russia, still a superpower in terms of spoiling powers...

This isn't America's fight.

It never was.  Best thing Joe Biden could do for the Democrats right now is to announce it's all diplomacy from here on out.  Putin is about as threatened and compromised now as he ever will be.  He's no Ghaddafy, Joe, and you're not dumb enough to cackle "We Came. We Saw. He Died." like Hillary.

So announce today that Americans are done funding the "hotwar" in Ukraine, and will only work now to send basic humanitarian help for the dam survivors still struggling all these weeks later, and diplomats to pursue a workable peace people can live with.

No more miliatry advisors. No more military hardwars. No more NATO invitations.  No more globe-trotting fundraising trips.  No more unaccounted billions.

America has upped the ante enough.  We've given then enough guns to annihilate themselves 10 times over.  No more.

(We still on the hook for cleaning up the mess Clinton and Obama and team missionary military left over in Libya after we offed their leader and replaced him with much worse... Pray that doesn't happen here at home via democracy in the quiet voting booths.)

Whoever gets us out of the Ukraine mess wins the next U.S. Presidency.  Are Joe's people listening to quiet common sense coming from the Heartland?  Run with this meme, pundits.  Ain't nobody winning this war, and if we say it now, you could save a lot of lives, I suspect.

What's the endgoal?

What does winning look like?

Have we helped Ukraine enough? Is the time for diplomatic talking NOW? Putin is no Ghadaffy. and he saw what happened to that man even as he had capitulated and accepted Western ways at home.  Not a good precedent for Biden's foreign policy -- the Clinton-Obama days.  (see Ukraine, for starters...)
