I dunno. It's easy to myopically take an isolationist view of the situation in Ukraine and Europe more broadly. We're sorta cut of from what's happening over there, and the ramifications of Putin successful seizing control of Ukraine because media attention is our only window into the conflict, and the greater geopolitical consequences. Putin will not stop with Ukraine if he succeeds. He will go after all of Eastern Europe bit by bit. That's a major defense conflict for NATO and America's interests on the European continent. So, it's not really just about protecting Ukraine, but defending our interests, and our European ally's interest from a threat not seen since the Cold War. I don't think we can afford to just throw all that away because of some nationalistic, isolationist misunderstanding of the totality of the situation.
