Seldom does the US get conflicts like the one in Ukraine where there’s relative moral, political, and strategic clarity. That’s why it’s particularly baffling to me why certain elements on the right are opposed to supporting Ukraine. It’s like we’ve been handed the opportunity to give a strategic adversary a black eye on the cheap while spending no American blood in the process. Kinda like wrapping up the Cold War and putting a tidy bow on it.
