Who could imagine that “evacuation” actually means surrender, “strategic withdrawal” means running for the hills dropping weapons, leaving wounded and equipment after total rout? How are they going to call Ukraine’s unconditional surrender? May be strategic evacuation across the polish border.

  • @Baraz_Red

    I fully agree with supporting Ukraine, and it seems Rand Paul does to, but the point is how to manage the budget more intelligently. The US military budget is already gigantic: there are certainly a) cunning ways to help (some cost-effective help is being done to be fair) and b) what will be cut in the overall budget to compensate. Again, we (we the world) need to help stop Putin's international aggression (just like the invasion/occupation of Iraq should have been stopped), but not *only* by adding spending or not without thought. As a Canadian, in our case, I am against the crazy money-sink that are F-35 fighter/bomber planes that Canada *might* get between 2025-2027+: just an example of bad public management (including a very doubtful use of military budget for Canada).
    Ps: one can be left-wing and uphold fiscal responsibility and proper public management. I am a Canadian progressive, left-wing in terms of public services, etc., but can still agree with Rand Paul here who does not share the same general political stances.
    Pps : that said, there are divergent economic theories on how government budgets are limited or not, the value of money and debts, etc. It is honestly a wild mess and I cannot say which theories and ideologies are closer to reality (no matter left or right-wing).
