I get where you are coming from also Salamandy.
Florida for instance is a mess right now.
Fact of the matter is that we will always have money for war.
Which is rather pathetic really.
Again though America is part of NATO and they are behind Ukraine and wish to see the Russian invasion repelled.
NATO follows the old ethos one for all and all for one mate.
I think drafting people is a bad idea, for a start it did not work out too well for Russia aka their conscription dilemma.
Money for war but not for cleaning up own room!
The real question we should be asking is - Would Zelensky be dumb enough to attack what now is Russian territory and Russia itself

Imagine if instead of war, Putin spent the money on relocating russians who felt persecuted or treated unfairly in Ukraine. Then spent the rest on a propaganda campaign to show the ills of the zelenski regime.
Sure NATO pushed putin, but invading ukraine made the made most of the world turn against Russia.

Except Ukraine's nazi problem doesnt justify a war that will cause 1000x more damage.
Its like how the U.S. invaded iraq and afghanistan because of WMDs and terrorists.
Yet, U.S. invasion if iraq and afghanistan caused 1000x more casualities than any terrorist caused.
Russia is just using the similair excuses to justify war which does far more harm than any potential good.
This might sound harsh, but 8 years of putting up with the genocide, daily shelling and war crimes that were ignored is enough to make any rational leader to finally say "Ok it's time to take action

Putin don't look or sound very rational to me WanderingMrM.
Quite frankly he looks to be on the brink and could be doing with a good sleep.
And things that happen in Ukraine are internal matters.
Wonder what would have happened should Ukraine have chosen to invade Russia over their war with Chechnya?
russians started being targeted specifically

The strangest thing about this is that China doesn't need to declare or start a war with the US to take it over. They could do it with mass migration. China isn't going to miss a couple hundred million people and I am quite sure the Democrat Government would gladly accomodate the move.
What part of that does the CCP not understand? The US is ripe for takeover by mass migration. The borders are open, the busses are running............it's so easy and obvious.
