We finally did the right thing and approved aid to Ukraine (still has to be approved by the Senate, which is almost certain). I’m glad it will help Ukraine and I almost hate to say this but it’s true: even if Ukraine can’t stop Russia, the longer we can keep Russia tied down in Ukraine the better. This will keep them from attempting to take the Baltic states and Poland for as long as possible.

The nightmare scenario is war against China and Russia at the same time. That is fairly likely. Anything at all that can be done to avoid this is best. Ukraine aid helps avert that if nothing else.
