Appreciate it.

If we have no business in such wars--an argument worth making--can we at least pull out with a little grace? And end all military spending? I am not claiming we are here because of an ideal history, but I am choosing Zelensky over Trump and Vanceand Putin and not, as the article you sent me suggests (I could only read the first few paragraphs) with the idea that Putin is in the right or we should be following Kissinger's lead.

My ignorance is legion but I can tell he difference between an idiot (Trump) a psycho (Putin) and a guy fighting as best he can for his country.

Sure, protest the end of a war we have no business being in and cheer those who would risk nuclear escalation. Go back and study the historical record — how the Bushes and Clintons disregarded the experts, betrayed the agreements with Gorbachev, expanded NATO, and created Putin — possibly the greatest blunder up there with Afghanistan and Vietnam, certainly if NATO stays in it. That’s history. What you’ve been consuming is beyond fake news; it’s sheer ignorance fed with establishment propaganda.
