@gregbrogan9061 great point. I read a study that indicates the support we're giving Ukraine is a great deal helping diminish Russia's military threat along w crippling Russia's economy. This turmoil may result in a possible end to Putin's regime, of course if this happens there's the fear someone worse will fill the vacuum. Also, there's the possibility a floundering Putin regime may consider the nuclear option - hopefully their nuclear forces are in the same poor shape as their conventional forces. Regarding comments about Ukraine vs homelessness, we need to do both, not either or. America must support Ukraine or any country in conflict with Russia or China, the consequences of not doing so will be much greater than our internal social issues. Not only is it necessary for the national security of our nation, but those of our allies and trading partners; it's a responsibility America has for being the wealthiest and most powerful economy in the world. If we as a people really want to address and eliminate homelessness, expecting the state and federal governments to just divert money to the issue so we NIMBY citizens can just go on with our lives just isn't working. Obviously. We as citizens are going to have to be willing to get our hands dirty with our social responsibilities and get involved with making solutions, and not expecting our local governments to do the job there not necessarily equipped to do - it's a lot like expecting police officers to deal with our mental health crisis, another issue we've swept under the rug so we citizens don't have to confront the issue.
