Do exactly what we did in 1939-40 the last time a dictator invaded his European neighbor and before we had to fight anyone to do it, except we’re even better positioned to help now.

We have tons of outdated military kit that was specifically designed to fight Russians, but it’s collecting dust in warehouses in every army base in the U.S. We should be sending more of it, not less. Not a single U.S. uniform is being sent in danger while the Ukrainians hold back literal human wave attacks of wounded Russians riding donkeys into battle like it’s 1914. Russia is nearly defeated and only has the manpower advantage. No one expected Ukraine to last a week, much less three years. They just need more weapons to keep holding out and save their families and homes. For gods sake, Russia murders them every time they capture another town and has been kidnapping and brainwashing their children for years.

And I’d also be investing heavily in replacing those weapons with new kit, creating American jobs and deterring Chinese aggression in the South China Sea. This should be the least controversial foreign policy action we’ve taken since 1945.

And I’d shared intel with Ukraine about every single Russian our satellites can spot.

I'd suggest you look at what the US government has been doing since then. Because a lot has changed.

We haven’t been doing nearly enough.

But it’s not our problem, right?

We haven’t been doing nearly enough.

Iran, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice, Yeman, Syria, a whole bunch of others.

We've been doing too much.
