Ukraine

According to press reports Biden has unified NATO countries to fight against Russia. This is certainly true if you listen to the rhetoric coming out of Europe but that is where is stops. While they talk a great game, up to this point have just been along for the ride. The US congress has approved $113 billion dollars for Ukraine while. According to the State Department, NATO and EU members and other allies have committed more than $13 billion worth of military assistance to Ukraine (and some countries do not fully disclose their military assistance).Jan 26, 2023 This is a repeat of what happened in Afghanistan. The US contributed most of the money and of course most of the troops. If NATO decides to send in troops will they come mostly from the US. Will the US citizens be willing to once again see soldiers coming home in body bags and with no legs. The country is heading in this direction and it is happening in slow motion. Things have been escalating since the start of the war and there is no reason to believe that this escalation will not lead to troops on the ground. The president has said that the goal is to drive Russia out of Ukraine and that we are there for as long as it takes.
