My mom was bitching about this last night…after supporting efforts by the US & NATO when Putin first went in.
Now we need to stop sending money over there, it’s not our responsibility, let Europe deal with it, get rid of NATO, etc etc etc. Apparently if the US stops sending aid, we could feed every hungry child & house every homeless veteran.
I told her those problems existed before 2022 and we didn’t fix them then, so this doesn’t really affect those things.
“But we could! If we wanted to!”
Well yeah - we don’t want to. This is irreverent to that. I just figured these were the new MAGA talking points & changed the subject.
I remember reading about it when everything started, but I didn’t think to bring it up at the time. We fight a lot & disagreeing with her gives me a ton of anxiety.

You can remind her of our obligations to Ukraine according to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994
It’s so strange how easily Trump convinced Americans to abandon almost all of their values.
I wish I had remembered that at the time.
It seems everyone has forgotten that it absolutely our obligation to defend Ukraine.

They never had them.
Speak for yourself.
