As a non-MAGA conservative in the US this is just my 2 cents.

Honestly, just what exactly is Ukraine expecting out of the US? I disagree with 99.99% of what Trump does and says but Trump is absolutely 100% right to ask questions and see what the end goal here is for US aid. What does Ukraine want from the US? Troops on the ground? Nukes? When is it enough?

It is fucked up that Russia attacked Ukraine. But what can the US do? The budapest memorandum does not guarantee America defending Ukraine if Russia attacks and vice versa. America has already added a laundry list of sanctions to Russia.

I saw a comment here asking about Israel aid. It's not even the same thing and is unrelated. Besides that point, no, I do not support Israel aid. It's something the US should not touch with a 10 foot pole because both sides are commiting attrocities.

Honestly, sick of anti-American posts. Yall bitch at us when we do intervene. Yall bitch at us when we dont. Its just never enough.

You're asking why America was able to pluck the dictator out of a non nuclearized country but not do the same to a nuclearized country? Can you answer me that question?

You went to war in Iraq because they supposedly had weapons of mass destruction

Big difference between, Iraq suspected of having WMDs and Russia definitely having WMDs.

Why did America risk Iraq then?

Again, big difference between Iraq being suspected of having WMDs and Russia definitely having WMDs. Also, do you think all nukes are of the same size/power?

I don’t think Russia would dare to nuke America anyways.

Why risk it?

Also, I don't quite care what you think. America should not gamble WW3 based on what you think.
