Bravo! USA aid to Ukraine is a must. In this case, Ukraine's aid has been seen by our politicians as the "bacon" and not as the primary goal. Border control is scaring everyone, and it has been seen as a priority, while Ukraine has been seen as a secondary problem even to Middle East peace. There needs to be more understanding of how important both politically and strategically is not only to resolve that conflict but also to win it and get Russia out of Ukraine (in particular Crimea). That should be the primary goal of our policy at this moment.

100% These issues need to be decoupled so we can get them both done. For those that forgot about the importance of winning in Ukraine, just watch Putin's interview with Tucker Carlson. We have the ability support multiple global conflicts AND control the border. But it's going to take a unified vision for the country and leaders who are willing to work together. Thanks for watching! 30 min on the erg last night :)
