War

As the Biden administration support for Ukraine continues its slow creep, following his pledge to stay as long as it takes, the end game is leading to US troops on the ground. This is a red line to many Americans and this poses a contradiction in the basic premise for supporting the war. The case was made that if Russia succeeds in Ukraine they will then proceed to rebuild the old Soviet Union. This is seen as, to use the word of the day, an existential threat to the West but this threat is not great enough to risk the life of one US soldier. There needs to be some clarification on just what is going on here. What we have now it billions of dollars going to the infamous military industrial complex and the status quo government is fine with that.
