Ukraine is far from a forever war, unless you’re proposing that Russia will keep invading them forever. They’re literally defending against a foreign enemy, you know, that thing that all soldiers swear to do. It is beneficial to Ukraine and to the United States for Ukraine to stand. If Russia expands into Ukraine then we’re back in a pre-WWII situation where a foreign enemy power is expanding across Europe against the will of every other country on the planet, except maybe China and NK.

I don’t mind sending aid to Ukraine. I was only pointing out what Rob said.

I get your approach on this but he proposes the absolute worst solution here.
Taking aid from Ukraine and shoveling that money into our dysfunction profit-focused healthcare system is not going to do anything more than pad the pockets of healthcare corporations. The fact that he thinks we can just buy more healthcare instead of help Ukraine is so ridiculously dumb I can’t believe anyone would agree with him on that.
If you’re fiscally conservative you should be more focused on how to not need to spend more money in the first place. Within healthcare that’s going to require a focus off of profit and onto actually providing healthcare to citizens without the excessive profit margins of today.

Umm. It’s weird you think paying for poor medical care is dumb.

I think paying into a system that most people agree is broken as a way of fixing that system is dumb.
