-Why can’t Putin and Russia be a friend and ally to the United States?

-Putin may have done a few things wrong, but he is a genius!

-Putin and Russia have a right to protect their border.

-Putin and Russia have a legitimate claim to the Crimea and eastern Ukraine because they are mostly Russian.

-The Ukrainian government is corrupt!

-We don’t want to spend U.S. dollars and blood defending Ukraine!

-The price of gasoline will go up!

-Why the hell did it take the Biden Administration so long to provide the weapons the Ukrainians need to defend themselves?
