"... If it comes down to the wire, we need to send in the F16s and 'take out' all Ukrainian military installations. We should also station our nuclear-armed submarines in international waters, ready to launch military strikes against both Russia and Ukraine.
We shouldn't do ANY of that. America can't "save the world", nor should we try. Rather, we should be "taking care of the home fires".
America should (1) BUTT OUT of the affairs of others, (2) bring the troops home to secure and defend OUR borders, and (3) use the money we currently spend on warring to put our unemployed to work repairing/building our infrastructure.
