    We tried the wait and see approach with European countries invading their neighbors twice in the last century and both times it ended up being 1000x more costly and got lots of our people killed.

    I don’t want to be financing Ukraine anymore than the GOP does, but it’s still better than dealing with a much bigger problem later.

      The US is still playing the same game of wait and see. During WW2 it’s not like the US didn’t supply the allies with weapons (lend lease act) for years before sending in troops.

      Hopefully Ukraine will be able to neuter Russia before the US or the EU have to get involved with actual boots on the ground.
