Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

[noble cane]

The federal government has no constitutional mandate for disaster recovery. It does have a constitutional mandate for national defense, and the war in Ukraine has broad reaching implications related to our defense.

Wow.. suddenly Aston is a strict Constitutionslist..

Depends on what you mean by strict? I believe in the ideals and the intent of the constitution.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have the feds provided disaster relief as I believe in the benefits of broad federalism, but I also don’t think that those extra, inferred powers only referred to as “promoting the general welfare” should supersede enumerated responsibilities in terms of priority.

So glad you were able to backtrack on your "mandated powers"

Ukrainians appear to be quickly growing tired of living in a war zone

I wouldn’t believe one word about what’s published about that conflict for the next 6 months.

I’ve been skeptical of what has been published regarding the conflict for quite some time.

Those gosh durned yellow journalists! Can't quite see their motive to extend the war, but to then say that more than 50% of Ukranians want it to end in relation to the US not funding it any longer. That sentiment kind of goes against their desire to extend it. You would think that wouldn't be publicized. Unless you just want to push mistrust of journalists in general.

To be clear, I wasn’t referring to journalist intentionally publishing misleading information. I am skeptical of any information released by Russia or Ukraine.

I took the comment to refer specifically to this poll, and generally to whatever was suspect. Obviously Russian & Ukranian reports will be biased towards whatever suits their needs in a time of war, and not towards the truth. I assumed that Gallup has enough of their men on the ground, collecting and supervising the collection of this information, that they felt confident enough to publish it. That's why I was questioning whom the general statements accusation was leaving as suspect., seeing as how the poll didn't seem to have a bias to suspect. If the specific doesn't meet the accusation, it lends to questioning who is suspected in the general accusation.
