>Why do we need to give them to Ukraine?

You don't have to, but I would regard it as prudent: so that the USA - and many other countries - don't become like, or part of, Russia. Think of Ukraine as being somewhat similar to Vietnam. If Ukraine falls, then Taiwan is fucked, North Korea will fuck Japan and just plain say goidbye to Europe (socialist bastards that we are).

Domino theory was false in the Vietnam War. "Contagion" didn't spread further than Laos and Cambodia, and the Vietnamese themselves deposed the Khmer Rouge in favor of moderates due to the latter's extremism and massacres.

You mean that the invasion by America into Vietnam is similar to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?
