Yes. This whole situation sucks for the people of Ukraine.... it has for a very long time.

From the perspective of the U.S., my question since the start of this war has been: is maintaining Ukraine's sovereignty vital to our national security? To be honest, I'm not smart enough to know the answer to this binary question. But, I am convinced that our half-assed involvement hasn't done (and almost never does) anyone any good (except for maybe the weapons dealers).
