Marjorie Taylor Greene Makes Alarming Promise About Ukraine If GOP Wins Congress

This is "alarming"? How so?

I've been asking but have yet to receive a definitive answer. Why is Ukraine's situation our problem in the US? The EU is right next door to that conflict. NATO is mostly right next door to that conflict. Russia being classic Russia over there is a whole lot of Europe's problem and if Europe has such a strong opinion of it then Europe is more than welcome to put their money where their mouth is and start footing this bill. Sure some EU nations are contributing but not enough. I don't even mind the US helping, Russia is a historic enemy of the US and a rival on the global stage so them failing at whatever they want to do globally is a positive for me seeing how I want only the US to be the sole power in the world. Same with China and I hope they fail too. But Europe should be footing this bill primarily, we will give a small percentage proportional to how actual "screwed" we'd be if Russia succeeds with it's goals in Ukraine. In layman's terms, it would be MUCH worse for Europe than America, pay up and save yourselves.

But at the end of the day Russia really is primarily a European problem, not ours anymore. This is Russia, they are not the USSR anymore. Let me repeat, this is Russia they are not the USSR anymore. They are not the global super power they once were who REQUIRED American counter pressure to hopefully keep the Communist Soviets from gaining majority influence and power on the global stage. This is Russia, they are the remnants of the old powerful USSR.

Europe can handle them, we have our own problems in America and I'm pretty sure our own citizens could benefit greatly from introducing those BILLIONS of dollars into our own society over here.

I love how so many in this country kept complaining about the US playing "Team America World Police" years ago but are now perfectly fine with the US playing world police with our checkbook to support a country that the majority of Americans only knowledge of is "that place where I think that nuclear power plant thingy melted before I was even born".

 

Which is yet another reason why America's defense budget is "bigger than the next 9 nations below it combined".

It's easy to spend little on your own defense budget when you know Team America World Police will foot the majority of the bill and do the majority of the dying on your behalf in the event of a modern day global conflict. Many folks in the US complain about American "social" programs and compare us to European nations and cite the American massive defense budget as part of the problem. Well part of the reason why Europe is able to get away with that is because WE are Europe's "military".

If a legit WW3 kicked off tomorrow guess who's bringing the most equipment and troops and money and suffering the most causalities. I'll give everybody a hint, it ain't Norway.

But low and behold it's some sort of radical "far right wing alarmist" idea to make Europe start pulling out their own checkbooks to handle a bad situation that is on THEIR border. Last time I looked at a globe the United States was way "way over here". And there's a huge body of water between us and Europe. Would American citizens "notice" if Russia completely conquered Ukraine? Yeah we would actually to some extent. But guess who's citizens would "notice" WAY MORE, France's.

Pay up. Plus Russia has been a historic pain in Europe's ass for hundreds of years regardless of what form they happen to take at any given moment. How about Europe finally learn how to deal with that big country with it's massive army that's been annoying that whole area since the damn sword was the weapon of choice for war.
