Helping the geopolitical goals of the USA is helping the American people, and we’re rich enough to do both anyways. The crowd screaming about Ukraine aid should be going to the USA has massive overlap with the anti-socialism, anti-government crowd that should be pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps anyways (while often being dependent on government handouts).

There’s a reason Kynect in Kentucky is super popular while Obamacare is super unpopular despite them being the exact same thing.

America is fully capable of helping themselves and many other countries. They choose to let Americans suffer because they’re not pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. I’m noticing a trend of republicans saying this, yet at the same time advocating against anything actually helpful to Americans I.e. healthcare, higher income assistance, higher education standards, more public resources

Right, because the US doesn't have enough resources for us to both take care of ourselves, and also stop a genocide at the same time?

While we do need to do more for the people here...it's also OK that we assist the people in Ukraine.
