My trust in our governments foreign policy is close to zero.
I don't trust Putin or Russia either.
Going to war over Ukraine would be flat out stupid and not in our best interests.

I'm talking culturally. You guys got GDP on the brain. Of course cultural similarity does not imply non-enemy status for ever 'n ever. We had a lot in common with Germany, yet had to arm-wrestle them twice. But at least there were the Christmas Truces.
I agree about the US' stability in this matter. Looking at the line of succession, we're kinda stuck with self-righteous nincompoops until 2024 (2025). Let's hope our midterms* put some brakes on the tomfoolery.

* On "proof:"
There is no proof without evidence.
There is no evidence without investigation.
There is no investigation without suspicion.
But suspicion without proof is paranoia.
They wrapped all that up in a nice little package,right?

My GDP comment was unrelated to yours it just happened to have followed your post
Their military is way out of proportion to their GDP and I wonder how long can they sustain a prolonged war with that kind of GDP before the people back home say enough is enough.
