We should be sending THAADs to Ukraine. There's been plenty of time to train their own soldiers to use it.

The response to my comment suggests you're right on that.

"Advocating for protecting a peaceful allied democracy, which has been actively fighting to improve its democratic system and root out corruption for years, from being destroyed and annexed by one of our two notable national enemies? Preposterous!"

It's not as though the US is actually losing money over this. We're making weapon sales and using old lend lease practices. And when the war is over, and Putin's regime pushed out, investment in the country would also be lucrative. There is no reason for the US not to want Ukraine to survive.

On top of that, again, these are peaceful, innocent people (who willingly gave up nuclear weapon technology in order to achieve that peace), who are now being invaded and slaughtered by a foreign nation. Having their children abducted and indoctrinated into the idea that there is no Ukraine. It's genocide.

it's incredible how utterly ignorant you are on what's happening in Ukraine.

Sure, buddy. Whatever you say.
