Is Ukraine worth it?

June 28, 2022 by Guest Post

by Charles E. Wissenbach, Pinesdale

Want a world where dictators gobble up countries freely?

Ask Russia’s former slave nations what freedom’s worth.

Russia and China (being dedicated to conquest) control gigantic land masses.

Ukrainian underdogs valiantly demonstrate Patrick Henry’s spirit: “Give me liberty or give me death.” Send them whatever they need: long range artillery, F-16 fighter planes, etc.

Nuclear threats? Dictator’s bluffs could trigger their own nuclear suicide which no one wants. Pray for nuclear sanity.

But, isn’t Ukraine ruining our economy? No! The “Bidenites” have already done that.

Ukraine’s freedom is worth just as much as ours and their fight is also ours – upholding world freedom.

    Ukraine has already lost, but the military industrial complex and political cronies made bank. American taxpayer, yet another national treasury hit. Same ole same ole.

    Your letter was considerate and caring…..then in one partisan, unrelated statement, you lose every shred of credibility. You dis Joe Biden when he’s gone above and beyond any other nation in both financial and military aid for the Ukrainian people. Where was the outrage when the treasonous Orange T-U-R-D tried to extort Volodymyr Zelensky with his “perfect call”? Which is it Chuck? You only want to be patriotic when it sounds noble? Geeez, give me a break!
