THE WAR IN THE UKRAINE IS TOO COSTLY for the USA: the longer it continues the more likely it will BREAK THE U.S. GOV'T. The U.S. military budget was INCREASED by Trump to $744 BILLION: In 2022, the USA spent $877 BILLION on its military. So HOW MUCH did the USA spend on the war in the Ukraine? $877 - $744 = $133 BILLION. He has THE GALL to bring up Crimea, an independent region of the Ukraine, that "overwhelmingly" voted to join Russia. From the Russian point of view it's NOT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. He says the USA should care about RUSSIAN CONCERNS + he brings that up: THAT'S just plain INSULTATINGLY STUPID! THE INTENT, here, is to DIMINISH RUSSIA, make it feel small, for A PROPOGANDA WIN. That's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. :D THIS WAR MEANT TO "HUMILIATE" RUSSIA is HUMILIATING the USA, now poor, backward country with NOT ONE supersonic missile with a global reach which China + Russia have. FINALLY, he knows the Russians will be sending their supersonic missiles to THE PENTAGON, WHITEHOUSE, CONGRESS + key USA cities should Russia decide that it's A SUITABLE, WARRANTED RESPONSE. THAT'S THE DIRECTION THE WAR IN THE UKRAINE "COULD" POSSIBLY TAKE IF THE AMERICANS ARE NOT CAREFUL. Maybe, just maybe, THAT will give us WORLD PEACE. (Ha! Ha!) THE QUESTION boils down to this: HOW CRAZY ARE THE AMERICANS? Historically, there was THE UNNECESSARY KILLING OF Gaddafi + 7/24 bombing of Libya in 2011, the creation of ISIS to discredit Islam, DECADES OF unproved, unjustified ANTI-MUSLIM wars, ... . ALL THAT COST MONEY that goes a long way towards explaining the U.S. $31.4 TRILLION debt. Was it worth it? That's a rhetorical question. (Ha! Ha!) WHAT DID THE USA ge for ITS MONEY? A falling U.S. DOLLAR whose value will end up being 3 cents Canadian. Incidentally, President Putin "repeatedly" warned: WAR IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. THE AMERICANS "refuse" to believe him. :D Ken, Toronto, CANADA
