Nicholas Kristof: "Why has the isolationist wing of Congress been blocking aid to Ukraine and become, in effect, a tool for President Vladimir Putin of Russia?
Republican politics explain some of this folly, but I think another reason is pure cluelessness."

Lack of familiarity with the world is, I think, one reason the United States periodically pursues self-destructive policies around the world. Perhaps the worst foreign policy mistake in this century was the George W. Bush administration’s expectation that Iraqis would welcome American troops with flowers in 2003; that’s the kind of delusion found among people who have never actually had a conversation with an Arab person. A second Trump presidency might entail even more consequential mistakes: pulling out of NATO, abandoning Ukraine, upending the post-World War II international system.

Conservatives who do not agree with blocking funding for Ukraine, now is the time to let your Representatives and Senators know you disagree. The most effective way of doing this is a hand written letter in your own words fired off to them immediately. If you don't do this, or something, you are in effect passively agreeing with it. More weight is given to hand written letters.
