Biden speaks

I just finished listening to President Biden speak about his meeting with President Zenlenskyy and once again he closed with the phrase, we will be with you as long as it takes. I hope the American people heard that and understand what kind of commitment that entails. The Vietnam War lasted ten years and Afghanistan lasted 20 years. The US has committed $100 billion in the first 300 days. The Vietnam War cost $1 trillion in today's dollars and Afghan cost $2.3 trillion. The American people have just stood on the sidelines while this money was spent but will they stand by if American lives are lost. It is hard to believe that sending equipment alone will defeat Russia. Will soldiers on the ground be needed. Just as the Afghans were willing to wait it until we gave in will the same happen in Ukraine. Will Ukraine be nothing but a gigantic pile of ruble when this finally just peters out. Will there be the bodies of hundreds of thousands of dead civilians strewn about the country side. According to Biden the answer is yes because he repeatedly says that Putin is going after women and children and Putin will not stop. So we all know what the future holds.
