> things like immediately reversing course on military support for the only country at war with Russia

America has a tremendous interest in not being at war with the world’s second largest nuclear power. We also have no interest in sacrificing good relations with Russia for the sake of Ukraine.

We should definitely go back to the good relations we used to have. Maybe if we're nice to them again they won't be running around with polonium, forcing migrants through Belarus, sending in little green men to their neighbors, and generally trying to destabilize the entire West. They're just misunderstood - it's not a country of thugs, they just want to live in peace and pump oil. Hey maybe if we have good relations we'll even be able to benefit from their recent invaluable contributions to science and technology.
Is that the reason for threatening the territorial integrity of Canada, Greenland and Panama?

No problem sacrificing good relations with Canada, Europe, China, the entire Arab world, though... The mental gymnastic people go through lol
