Are We Sure About This War?

Fighting escalates in eastern Ukraine | Financial Times

Russia has invaded Ukraine, the violence of this war is incalculable–and our whole government is cheering for Ukraine. But what if the Ukrainians aren’t the good guys? What if there are no good guys in this war?

Up until recently, and over a span of years, did we ever hear anything about Ukraine that wasn’t tied into some scandal or other? What about all those multi-million-dollar deals with Hunter Biden, complete with a `10 percent cut for “the Big Guy” who is now, allegedly, our president?

Sure, Vladimir Putin and the Russkies are the bad guys. But does that automatically make Ukraine the good guy? I find myself unable to come to that conclusion.

Meanwhile, as it preaches the sanctity of Ukraine’s national borders, our government refuses to enforce our own country’s southern border. What does that say about our priorities? Shouldn’t we be repairing our own ruptured border?

The American people don’t want to blunder into war in Europe. Can we trust our leaders not to do that?

I wish I knew.
