Answer: The Congressional Military Industrial Media Complex is too entrenched. Don’t worry though, there will come a reckoning and it will be a lot sooner than the Commentary Neo-Con bubble-pundits will ever realize. Hey, but government over-spending is really bad for the economy except when it’s for a good cause, or something.
The brutality of Putin’s Russia is just too intense and obvious to ignore. Only far Left academics like Noam Chomsky and far Right media celebrities like Tucker Carlson can pretend that supporting Ukraine is not in the US interest.
Are you saying that the US should be supporting any country that is victim of obvious and intense brutality at the hands of another country? Congress better busy coming up with bills for Biden to sign because they have a lot of legislation to pass and money to spend!
Not necessarily. It’s in the US’s strategic interest to support Ukraine in its attempt to defeat the Russian invasion. In other conflicts there might be no strategic interest.
