Boy the last two words of that Snyder quote says it all, "worth it". That's the real discussion here. Once the going gets very, very expensive the weak-willed here in our country waver. No surprise! Money makes the world go round---until it stops. As the expense increases, cheap talk about democracy decreases.

We cannot back-off and let our allies down. They jumped right in there and are doing their part. What they have done and are willing to suffer will NEVER be enough for the damn Republicans. They will beat that money drum till you can't hear anything else.

No matter what WE do at this stage, the Ukrainians have a democracy and they have chosen. That is soooo not up to any of the rest of the world at this stage. It's arrogant and stupid for these tin gods to sit on their thrones and declare what the Ukrainians should do.

It's been obvious from the beginning what the right thing to do is. The democratic coalition fighting these CRAZY dictators must endure. Thanks Thom, because it is "worth it" now more than ever. This group of free-world allies are the best hope to do anything about the climate crisis as well.
