Ukraine question in the debate and RFK's tweet on the subject

This question came up in the so-called debate on Tuesday. David Muir asked if it is in our best interest to win in Ukraine. HOLD THE TAPE! Are we at war, or did I miss something?

How do you win in Ukraine? What does victory look like? Can a victory come from force of arms? If so, then somebody needs to tell the generals we are at war, and it is time to put boots on the ground. Of course, nobody in the right mind is really prepared to do that, or we'd have a national mobilization going on right now.

Trump mentioned nuclear weapons. Of course. Do you think the Russians would accept a military defeat and stand down in the use of their vast stockpile of nuclear weapons? Are we prepared to use ours if victory cannot be obtained with conventional arms? Of course not.

In the end, if Russia doesn't use nukes, then do we go into Ukraine? Can we win that way? This country isn't prepared for a conventional war and will balk at using nukes unless a NATO country is attacked.

The Democrats are just playing politics with war. The question's premise is that a war is winnable. Is it really?
