Tulsi, the Military-Industrial Complex is big enough and old enough to take care of itself even without a war in Eastern Europe. Seriously, the growing threat from China can keep the MIC spinning along at or above current funding levels, legitimately defending the interests of America, our allies, and all free people in the Western Pacific, until the Chinese demographic crisis really hits. And after that, there will be something else. International relations are just one d*** thing after another. The fact that we relaxed after the Cold War is one of the reasons we're in the soup today. Anyone else miss the Space Race? Using the dual-use hardware we produce to expand human enterprise beyond the confines of Earth, would give humanity a positive-sum game where hard work results in an "I-get-more-AND-you-get-more" situation, instead of the zero-sum "I-get-more-means-you-get-less". Just a thought.

"If Ukraine joins NATO, that would put NATO right on the border of Russia" But if Ukraine joins Russia, that puts the border of Russia right on the border of NATO (Poland). And NATO is already on the border of Russia, with the Baltic states. Are we really going to have a "rump" Ukraine of its western provinces, as a buffer state between NATO and Russia? And why is Putin so interested in "buffer states" in Europe, anyway? Are they really afraid of the Germans invading again? If Putin is dedicated to establishing control of buffer states between resource-rich Russia and an up-and-coming resource-hungry country, he'd be foolish to look west. He's better off looking east, to an actual up-and-coming resource-hungry country. Putin doesn't need a buffer state in Ukraine. He needs multiple buffer states, in Tibet, Sinkiang, Greater Mongolia, and Manchuria.
