Or the Wilson's League of Nations, only to see the US pull out and war in Europe break out once more.Or the Shiites in Southern Iraq.

The U.S. was never a member of the League of Nations.Or the Wilson's League of Nations, only to see the US pull out and war in Europe break out once more.
That's my point. The LoN was a US invention, intended to ensure peace to the world, encouraging other nations to join, only to see the US itself not join. My point, countries should not rely on the US longterm, Zelenskyy is finding this out now.The U.S. was never a member of the League of Nations.
Entirely different world in 1919.That's my point. The LoN was a US invention, intended to ensure peace to the world, encouraging other nations to join, only to see the US itself not join. My point, countries should not rely on the US longterm, Zelenskyy is finding this out now.
Good thing that the phrase "you know" was not in today's drinking game, I'd have never made it through her quote...''...Q: Okay. Totally separate topic, sure. Ukraine aid the President has said he's committed to getting about $7.1 billion in PDA to Ukraine before his administration ends. How do you get $7.1 billion off the shelf of the Pentagon's stockpiles in such a short time?
DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY SINGH: It is a short time, but it's also, you know, just under 70 days. This department can do incredible work in that amount of time. The president made clear that, you know, he wants to spend every, you know, spend down the authority that Congress has allocated and authorized before he leaves office.
So we're going to work very hard to make sure that happens. You've seen us roll out very large packages, you know, from the beginning and you've seen, you know, us roll out actually I'd say a range of packages on a pretty frequent basis almost, you know, almost weekly. So, I expect that for the next coming months of this administration you're going to continue to see those packages draw down from what's available in our stockpiles,
Again, we're committed to ensuring that Ukraine has what it needs to be successful on the battlefield. Secretary Austin recently had a, you know, a call with Minister Umarov. They discussed, you know, the capabilities that Ukraine needs to continue to push the Russians back, to continue to be successful in their strategic battle plans.
And that's something that this administration is committed to. So you'll see us continue to roll the draw those down over time...''

What, and break the Feb 2020 United States–Taliban deal that stabbed the Afghan Govt in the back? Or do we use it as a template for a United States–Russia deal that stabs Ukraine in the back?We could ask the Taliban for our stuff back.
