The Russian invasion of Ukraine has rocked the world and we are faced with some very difficult decisions. As we see the horrific images and videos of the attack all over mainstream media, many Americans believe we need to do everything we can to save the Ukranian people. As noble as that may sound, it would be an enormous mistake to make such an important decision based on emotion rather than focusing on what is in the best interest to our country. We made that mistake after 9/11 which resulted in war that lasted twenty years, cost tens of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. We would be wise not to make that mistake again.
