I've never donated to an international military.

This is all very new in my cultural perspective.

And one of the things that I think is complicating my perception of this, and I think this is true for a lot of Americans, is the fact that

Ukraine essentially seemed to be potentially overwhelmed at first and has fought back in a way that was unexpected.

I think people in general understand Russia to be an autocratic superpower and that their consolidating power is overall globally bad for the cause of freedom globally, although I think the average American may not think about Russian aggression all that commonly.

Now, the complicated thing for the average American following, who is not necessarily a Trump zealot, who is following the news, is that

It does appear as if our commander in chief has a massive hard on for autocrats and will let them do anything and is sort of nominally supporting Ukraine while still admiring Vladimir Putin.

And I shouldn't make that sexual.

I just mean that he actually really, really admire.

I know it's too cheap to call him gay.

It's not about that.

It's about he admires sociopathic autocrats and.

I'm curious, you know, we're at the G7 summit right now and Trump's

Trump's position on Ukraine and Russia seems confusing to me.

And so I'm curious, like, what is it like as a member of the military, former member of the military, as a military expert?

And what advice would you give to average Americans for like, how does that complicate this conflict?

And because I think that makes it a lot harder for a lot of people to understand that they're not really even sure where our country stands on this.

Like, is that undermining?

Trump literally said today that he has nothing to do with a war that's thousands of miles away.

I mean, he's always saying stupid shit, but I think it has a lot to do with another war that's thousands of miles away, if I remember correctly.
