Ukraine War: Why Both Sides Are Right (And What We Should Do)
from Common Sense for America · host Bruce Rutherford
Russia's economy is smaller than Texas. They've lost 1.2 million soldiers. They're advancing slower than World War I. So why does this war matter to America? I'm going to show you why the isolationists have legitimate concerns, why the interventionists have a point, and what Common Sense tells us to do. This isn't about picking sides in American politics — it's about defending American interests. KEY POINTS: Why Jefferson and Washington would understand this situation What Reagan's Afghanistan strategy teaches us (and the price we paid) The real numbers: Russian casualties, kill ratios, and economic comparisons What smart support looks like (no American troops in combat) The cost vs. the alternative Nuclear risk: Why Putin won't pull the trigger This is Common Sense for America — where we acknowledge legitimate concerns on both sides and find solutions grounded in constitutional principles and American interests.
