Maybe more Americans are not down with the meddling than you think.

I loathe DeSantis and Trump. I won't vote for either one.

Maybe there's a silent majority that don't want to be involved with Russian territorial disputes.

On this issue I agree with them.

Many others likely feel the same way. It's not popular to say so openly.

A big surprise could be coming in 2024.

Ukraine might get cut loose. They better plan for this if they have any sense at all.

I used that line precisely because it was DeSantis's. It's accurate, even if he did say it.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. My point is that this position may have more traction than many people think,given how media and social norms discourage open discussion of any other policy but blind approval of all Ukrainian aid.

The Ukrainians better be aware of how fickle Americans are.

They wouldn't be the first to get screwed after thinking they wouldn't be.

I just hope they're ready for what's coming if American policy switches.

Maybe they should be more open to compromise and less intent on total victory that they can't achieve without massive assistance from outside.

Not if they can't do it. Then it's just a foolish prolongation of the carnage and destruction of infrastructure. Seeking peace when the price of ongoing war is too high is nothing to be ashamed of.

Most wars end by negotiations,not Total Victory.

Encouraging the Ukrainian government to push for unrealistic goals while inadequately supplying them to attain them is not helping the Ukrainians.

It's a cynical and depraved use of them as instruments of a bigger policy they aren't privy to.
