Many countries are training Ukrainian military personnel .
The assistance that US is giving started after Russia started armed insurgency In Eastern Ukraine...which then later escalated to Russia taken Crimea....which then later escalated to Russia going to try full invasion of Ukraine.
Timeline does matter.
No, timeline doesn’t matter. It’s irrelevant when we stopped or started giving assistance. What matters is where we’re at right now, today. Not sure what the point of your post is. Do you even know what a proxy war is? If not you should learn because we’re in one although you seem to think we’re not.

Proxy war, a military conflict in which one or more third parties directly or indirectly support one or more state or nonstate combatants in an effort to influence the conflict’s outcome and thereby to advance their own strategic interests or to undermine those of their opponents. Third parties in a proxy war do not participate in the actual fighting to any significant extent, if at all. Proxy wars enable major powers to avoid direct confrontation with each other as they compete for influence and resources. Direct means of support by third parties consist of military aid and training, economic assistance, and sometimes limited military operations with surrogate forces. Indirect means of support have included blockades, sanctions, trade embargoes, and other strategies designed to thwart a rival’s ambitions.
Yep, no doubt that Obiden is Putin’s preferred vegetable. Putin was afraid of Trump at least more so than he is this administration. He knew Trump didn’t tolerate much bs. Trump is a smart man regardless of what some of you might think. He’s been dead on right about a lot of things the left were pushing, he’s also somewhat of a wild card, a dangerous combo, in a good way.

Of course Putin would prefer Biden rather than Trump. Simple analogy for you:- Say your a boxer and you can choose your opponent for the world title. You don't choose the world champion, you choose a very very weak opponent. Get it.
The White House is admitting the CIA and larger Intelligence Community apparatus, which includes the State Dept., has been heavily controlling all activity in Ukraine for the past decade. The only reason to admit this now very publicly is because they are losing voter support.
President Biden wants the leaders of the U.S. House and Senate to come to the White House tomorrow and discuss making Ukraine safer. Yet 2 weeks ago, the leader the U.S. House wanted to come to the White House and discuss Border Security with President Biden...and Biden told him "NO".

Ukraine is fighting for itself , their sovereign land .
Are you saying Iran / North Korea also then also having proxy war against Ukraine , since they are sending assistance/weapons to Russians . Iran just send about 400 ballistic missiles to be used against Ukraine .

"Revelation"?
Yeah maybe if you've had your head up the MIC @$$ for the last 2 years.
How isn't Ukraine an American proxy? We provide all their targeting data, all their weapons, and all their money. They couldn't be more of an American NATO proxy if it tried.

You all give me very little hope for our future with nonsense like this...
The blog " The Conservative Treehouse " is know as not reliable source
Theconservativetreehouse.com posts conservative-leaning stories that sometimes include misinformation. It has a lengthy description on its “About Us” page, including:
“Fear is at the core of liberalism, and love/trust is at the core of conservatism. Liberalism is about control. Conservatism is about self-empowerment.”
The site is registered through Domains By Proxy, a company that hides the identity and location of the owner of the website.

I would say that almost 100% of politicians is either a narcissist , or psychopath /sociapath, so I doubt they really care at all.

BUT the big mystery is, WHY do U.S. President Joe Biden, and so many members of Congress, care more about stopping the invasion of Ukraine, than they care about stopping the ongoing invasion of dangerous migrants and drugs into America, where their/our family and friends reside? Any ideas?
Doesn't really seem like mystery to me. Unless you actually believe that 200 billion we keep printing is going towards any war efforts at all and not just in all these peoples pockets
They care more about their personal finances than the people of America..including their own families? Is that what you're saying? Will they still feel that way if an illegal alien kills (murder, drunk driving, etc.) one of their children, or grandchildren?
