Warbucks

[WestCanMan]

Spending money on wars is a hot-button issue, as is money for the border, but having a third variable in the poll makes the option list too long so let's just focus on warbucks for a sec... 

1. Where does money need to be spent, and how much?
2. where is money on these foreign wars just being wasted? 
3. Is the cost of losing in Ukraine too high to bear?
4. What does that look like?
5. Is the US just throwing money into the Ukraine war right now because the Biden administration doesn't like the optics of yet another Russian expansion during a demonrat presidency? 
6. Is the cost of losing in Israel too high to bear?
7. If Israel loses, are the Jews facing yet another genocide?
8. Would the US just be better off getting directly involved against Iran? It's not like they haven't been provoked enough after 100s of attacks against US bases...

I don't think all those need to be answered, myself I'll just cherry-pick:

2. In general, the US is wasting a lot of money on foreign wars. I know it's profitable for some, but it's insane and that kind of spending needs to end.

3 & 4. Ukraine will lose, but they already lost more in the war than they will by having a permanent border shift. 

One long-term effect of this war is a permanent festering wound on Russia's western frontier, and a difficult road back to inclusion in global markets. 

5. Yes. If Trump was president when this war started, and the Dems could blame this all on him, they would have told Zelenski to suck it two years ago. 

6 & 7: Yes, genocide.

8. I think that the US is going to end up striking Iran or Lebanon at some point, even if Israel has to take the credit/blame.
