Ukraine quandary? Let’s just walk away ‘s U.S. women miserable

I have been looking at news reports about Ukraine.  

I saw one from Steve Bannon this morning (March 1). It echos what I said months — if not years — ago.  

He (Bannon) said, just walk away. We don’t need their minerals. We can get them from plenty of other places.  

Paraphrasing Bannon, he says:

• Eastern Europe is a “S”-hole — and, for most of us, our ancestors recognized it generations ago... and emigrated to America.

• Don’t pollute this country with Ukrainian baggage — or European baggage for that matter.  

• We don’t need them (Ukraine), and we should not let ourselves be drawn in by their little intrigues. They have been playing “games” for centuries.  

Also, I am watching another Bannon video about the division in this country. He says both sides hate each other and that the left started it with the weaponization of the justice system. They tried to put Trump away for more than 300 years.  

An idea of Bannon’s is, unless you are willing to expose yourself to assignation or prison, do not aspire to a leadership role in politics.  

We, I believe, are in a “hidden” civil war.  

After Jan. 6, 2021, the Trump organization returned to Florida to plan a return to the White House, realizing that unless they had competent leadership in place to destroy the Deep State, another Trump administration would be useless.  

Destroying USAID, a back-door-funded, left-wing Democrats cause, was critical because, without money, the Deep State will collapse. 

Why would people protest getting rid of Government waste?  

Why would “Americans” encourage people to “take to the streets?”  

Possibly they need — must have — that money. 

People encouraging that behavior are, logically, the enemy of the people. “They will be known by their actions.” (“By their fruits you will know them” is a Bible verse from Matthew 7:20, which “means people are judged by their actions,” according to AI Overview.)  

To rid the country of grift, people have to be held accountable. That means that in the future, after investigations and judicial process, many need to go to jail.  

Another thing that is material is that the left wing leadership refused to give up power — and pass it on to another generation.  

Most of these people are in their 80s. They can’t communicate with the younger generation. Funding and support are gone. 

It is a happy thought to think that the idea that we are all equal before the law will take effect, again — even the idea of a return of respect for the American justice system.  

Another thought is the (Joe) Biden pardons are “unique.” The only similar incident of it was the Gerald Ford pardoning of Richard Nixon.  

In a time of “common sense,” I am hopeful that the Supreme Court will throw this criminal travesty out, and allow justice to prevail for the American people.  

We have inarguably lived through a unique period in this country’s history, where injustice reigned.  

If people are not brought to justice, I believe America will not survive.  

One obvious proof of that is the national debt — $33 trillion.  

We now know that the left is a major cause, funding backdoor schemes, with tax dollars belonging to We The People.  

Also, it is a golden idea to think of funding our country with foreign dollars.  

Why must we come up short?  

Why can’t we win for a change?  

I am tired of being used. I am tired of endless war. Just walk away from Ukraine.  

What is the figure for Ukraine, $357 billion? (President Trump has claimed that the U.S. spent $350 billion on assistance for Ukraine in its war with Russia.)  

They (Ukraine’s leadership) don’t respect us. Zelensky was here to sign a rare earth minerals deal with the American people and to assist in stopping the killing in the Middle East. 

Along the lines of Lyndon B. Johnson, I don’t want American boys doing something that “Russian boys” should be doing for themselves. (More specifically, the website www.digitalhistory.uh.edu noted that the exact LBJ quote regarding Vietnam was: “We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.”)

After all, Ukraine is “Old Russia.” Just look at the history books... 

If Vladimir Putin is bad, it looks to me like that it is a Russian boy problem — not an issue to be escalated into an American World War III problem.
