It is also a chance for Ukraine to re-arm and prepare defenses. It buys time for Ukraine to get into the EU, and create security guarantees for the future, while stopping a generation from being killed. It saves lives everywhere, and sets an international example of Ukraine acting intelligently and saying its people are more important that some land.
My comments on the border were meant to challenge those who will support deporting this woman but not illegals entering the US. IMO, the US border should be slammed shut, period. No one gets in without proper applications and processing. No exceptions. The same policy Poland has taken and it has been very successful in protecting Poles.
The US will not abandon Poland. Too many Poles in the US and too many with Polish heritage in the US. US Polish Dispora wrote to Tusk just the other day telling him to not enter Ukraine under any circumstances and to end the war. Trump, as $hitty as he is, gave the visa waiver program to Poland. The ties that bing the US and Poland together are many. Economic ties, and political ties are deep. If the US abandoned Poland you would see riots in the streets of Chicago, NY, Con., MI, NJ and other places. I would not want to be the president who does that, or the party that is responsbile for it.
