[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m absolutely not willing to make very many sacrifices for Ukraine. I don’t want to pay more than I already do for anything and I damn sure don’t want my husband going to war nor do I want my life upended to make shit in factories for a war effort. Ukraine and Russia aren’t my problem just as I’m not theirs. I don’t feel bad about this either.[/quote]

One of the downsides of the long involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is that some Americans have no stomach for engagement or involvement even when there are legitimate threats.  I'm curious whether anything other than a direct attack on your neighborhood would be your problem or worth any sacrifice.[/quote]
PP here. I’m not up to dying or suffering a significant downturn in fortunes because of “moral” bullshit that’s not even clear cut. People die every day and many, many regions of the world are at war at any given time. I don’t know what makes the people of Ukraine more valuable and special than people elsewhere. Unless the case can be made that America has been directly and immediately threatened, we have no business going to war and need to mind our own freaking beeswax.[/quote]
