The Ukraine war, you have another insane person in Russia, Putin, who is aligning himself with China, and the nations that are aligned with the currency called BRICS. All of these countries could play many games with the supply and flow of oil worldwide. So, take that under consideration.

Putin has also showed that he is quite comfortable sacrificing 100,000 or more Russian troops, President Biden has not committed any American ground forces, and neither has NATO. President Biden by taking this slow approach with some weapons, demonstrates he is working with our NATO allies. He probably did this because he was also trying to balance Turkey's support to finally allowing Finland, but now Sweden to join NATO.

Turkey is not exactly a steady NATO ally when it comes to new members, but President Biden completed this delicate task. Negotiations are a tricky thing, especially in the middle east, when you make any decision, you disappoint many other countries in the region.

Meanwhile Russia has been exhausting itself, and its economy in support of this war, another reason they have aligned themselves with these other nations in BRICS and now are acquiring weapons from those countries.

You think any war is simple in the year 2024, President Bush learned that in Afghanistan and Iraq, the reason we were there for 20 years.

These are just some of the opening questions that must be considered before any new weapon is introduced into the battlefield. Each time President Bidem gives a new American weapon to Ukraine he is risking support from each NATO country, he is also making all of those nations that support BRICS sit up and decide what they will do next to support Russia.

Right now, the war in Ukraine is contained to just a few regions in Ukraine, but in any war, it never takes much to shift the boundaries, and the countries that are participating.

Lastly it is war, Ukrainian's are dying by the day in defense of their nation, the breadbasket of the world. If the war does expand you risk food shortages all over the world, they depend on that wheat, and this escalation could really disrupt those food supply lines. Those supply lines are still fragile two years post pandemic, shipping around the world does not adjust quickly. Dry Bulk shipping signslong tern contracts, and those ships are already running at capacity.

It is war, with powerful weapons that can be used by many countries, I like slow.

Education is also the backbone of America. It is a guaranteed right that each State educated those children. It is also the responsibility to make see that the Federal Government overseas that education to protect the very children that are being educated to ensure that the lessons taught align themselves with right and principles of this nation.

The Founding Fathers wanted every child to receive an education., and the constitution backs it up. in the 14th amendment.

As for the border, and you probably mean the southern border, once again republicans do not care to actually fix the immigration problem of that border. If they did, they would of out forth some kind of legislation these past 20 years.

Right now, America needs immigrants, our birth rates are low, and our economy cannot keep growing unless we have immigrants to continue to process of this country.

America is an OPEN country, that encourages immigration, those immigrants usually come here and in the first generation and take jobs that many Americans do not want to do anymore. Those American's, who are in those positions, can then move up the employment ladder by using their education skills to advance themselves by understanding how America works. They learn that over years of employment.

Those immigrants then have children who join that American education system and provide the diversity that keeps this nation strong. A diverse population is the key to this country, where all of the people of the world can come to America and keep America a land that has so much more to offer to everyone. That is not a pie in the sky dream either. Just the different kinds of foods are most enjoyable, then there are the arts, the music, the diverse cultures.

I grew up near New York City, in the 1950s and 1960s. It was great, so many people speaking so many languages. all working to create the American dream.
