But I am not for international adventurism. We owe nothing to Ukraine. There have been many opportunities to bring this to a close. Hopefully we will be able to find an compromise before more people are killed over there and we go deeper into debt.

Btw, this is not an indictment of the Biden administration. Our country has a long, frustrating history of letting the CIA and inteligence agencies push us into needless wars and conflicts. Republicans have been the worst at it, but our Democratic leaders have not been blameless.
