He lost me at "we're in Ukraine for the right reasons".
Am I the only one that remembers that the US supported a coup in 2014 against the pro-Russia Ukrainian government? Where was the brutalization then? And then the US-backed government shelled ethnic Russian areas in the East? And then those regions seceeded; asking Russia for help? And then Russia stepped in to protect them? How are we the "good guys" in this scenario?
Now, I'm not so naive as to think Russia isn't playing the same dirty games, but unless we want to go so deep into the skullduggery where no one is "good" (and the question reverts to "why are we here?") then the US is basically pulling a Cuban Missle Crisis with the roles reversed.
I'll also point out that, while we're degrading the Russian army with a prolonged war, they're doing the exact same thing back at us, and we're (apparently) in the middle of a debt crisis while their currency is up 70% since the start of the war.

You are not. It's only been eight years, and it's frustrating to see people on the right be useful idiots for the Democrat State Department when they should know better.
