It is rare that someone offers to fight our battles for us. That is exactly what Ukraine is doing. We are sending them the armaments they need, and they are our proxy fighters. They are undoing the Russian military and we have lost not a single American life.

Some Republicans have questioned spending money we should be spending on fixing our own problems. It may sound like a good argument but these same Republicans vote down nearly all programs which might correct our problems. Their insincerity raises questions about their real motives. One obvious answer is that they are following their leader, Trump, who has many times shown his love of Putin. Trump and his followers are willing to forego their commitments, help Russia defeat the Ukrainians, anger our allies, strengthen Putin in his drive for power, and bail Putin out of a disaster of his own making. Betraying the Ukrainians would damage ourselves and strengthen our enemy. How about calling it treason?
