Are we not already in WWIII? What is the leading cause of death among military service age-eligible men in the US? Would war increase or decrease that death toll? There is a rational case for war, but not in the Ukraine.

I fear that political powers (both parties) are already laying the groundwork to make the Ukraine war the next Iraq. If this actually comes to fruition I can't say I still see much benefit to living in the US.
Only path to voting our way out of this is with a populist like Trump or Kennedy. Neither wants us in that war.
That is a pipe dream, do you really believe trump’s obsession with military might was just going to end at having parades with tanks and fighter jets? Kennedy so far looks like yet another extremely cynical manipulator.

Populists politicians love war because they always over promise and under deliver, and war is the ultimate distractor and rallying cry.

No one wanted this war other than Putin.

The one president in decades to keep us out of war loves war. Your logic is infallible.
