I agree with you 100%. As a veteran who served in Europe in the 70s and 80s, I am adamantly opposed to any military intervention in Ukraine. The people in that area have been fighting each other for centuries. Kyiv was actually the first capital of Rus, and stayed that way until St. Petersburg under Catherine the Great replaced it. Moscow didn't come along until 500 or more years later. Stalin deliberately starved millions of Ukrainians in the Holdomor.
When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian people initially treated them as liberators. One of the most feared SS units in the war was comprised of Ukrainian volunteers. Why would we want to get into the middle of a civil war that has lasted 600 years? I pray for the people and I pray for peace. But there is no way I can support the U.S. going to war with Russia over this.
Kinzinger the warmonger. I guess then the lefties can blame the joining in on the Republicans?
