The Ukraine tail wagging the U.S. dog

Need I say more? 
But if you want to understand why I say that, and why it is significant,  read:

E.g., 
<blockquote>"Your fight is our fight." 
That's a very strange thing for an American lawmaker to say to a foreign military. 
Why would the Ukrainian government's fight in 2016 possibly be our fight? 
On what grounds is it our fight? 
What does that even mean? We don't know. 
And yet now it is demonstrably true. Ukraine's fight is our fight. 
Ukraine's war is our war.</blockquote>

And later in Carlson's essay: <blockquote>[I]n order to wage a moral boycott [of Russia-produced oil] 
we become more dependent on Saudi Arabia, governed by Sharia law; 
Iran, a rogue state; and 
Maduro's Venezuela 
because this is a moral statement we're making. 
This is a moral victory so feel good about it as you go bankrupt. 
That's the short term picture. 
The long term picture of war with Russia is even scarier than that. 
Thanks to Biden's policies, Russia and China now form a bloc against the United States. 
This was the nightmare scenario, now it's real. 
Just today, the Chinese foreign minister described Vladimir Putin as 
<I>China's "most important strategic partner."</I> </blockquote>
