This was hands down my favorite bit from the article:

Some even maintain that every dollar spent on Ukraine is a waste of taxpayer money that could be better used on domestic priorities, such as combating the spread of fentanyl.

These arguments are misguided and dangerous.

How dare they suggest that money would be better spent addressing domestic problems than on a proxy war half way across the world. That's misguided and dangerous thinking.

I also love how the article takes it for granted that US must prop up puppet regimes in Asia as if that's somehow in the interest of the people living in US.

The US is a mafia state coercing all of its citizens, vassals, and slaves to participate in its criminal enterprise.
