I think he’s pivoting on this in order to secure aid for Ukraine and I’m not so much bothered by it. He’s at least appearing hawkish on border control to take away a talking point from the GOP, so they can’t use that as an excuse for holding up aid to Ukraine (chances are they’ll find something else, but they won’t have this to rally around). In my mind, Ukraine is perhaps one of The most important foreign policy issues facing the world right now, it’s the line in the sand where we can stop Russia and make them pay for all the bullshit psyop fuckery they’ve been inflicting on the rest of the world for at least the past decade or more, not to mention preventing them from invading any other countries. Ukraine has fought hard for the past 2-3 years and they deserve our help more than anybody else in the world (way more than Israel). Russia is a genuine agent of chaos in the world, they thrive on it and they’ve learned to take advantage of it, stopping them there makes the world a better place and it’s the right thing to do.
