Endless European wars

David Ignatius writes:

"If Putin prevails, it will harm the interests of America and Europe for decades."

Who gives a shit?

Who cares whether Ukraine is independent or a part of Russia?

I don't.

Apparently for some Americans that is a significant issue.

I disagree.

That is an issue strictly within Europe.

Time for America to stay out of these conflicts within Europe.

And, though some will disagree, 

I think we should make friends with Russia.

Ignatius concludes his piece with:

"But it’s not sentimentality that underlies deeper American support for Ukraine, 

but U.S. national interest."

What bullshit!

Ignatius doesn't know the American national interest from a hole in the ground.

The American national interest is not to get involved in, or promote, such irrelevant-to-America wars.

For example, look at how much damage this war has done, one way or the other, to the German manufacturing sector.

Did that promote America's national interest?

Was destroying Germany's industrial strength in America's interest?

Ignatius can write as many novels and columns as he likes,

 but he clearly doesn't understand the American national interest.

How close did the world come on September 14 to nuclear war?

Scott Ritter thinks, Very Close:

Ritter is speaking specifically about when UK PM Starmer came to Washington to discuss with Biden's team whether to escalate attacks on Russia.
