Losing ground in the world to communist should be a concern if we don't want it knocking at our door when all the rest have fallen.

do you like WASTING our money? WHY should we keep on having to spend BILLIONS on other countries, when our OWN countries are in a HUGE MESS, and need urgent financial input!

DID the USA achieve this when they fought the war in Vietnam? NO! Have they learned from this? NO! The Korean War was the same!
They could not defeat Communism then, and they won't now! Get real.
Found it, and it is easy to put yourself in the shoes of these underground Ukrainian patriots that if their government isn't going to stop the invasion of their country will take matters in their own hands.
Did we always lose? - There goes that logic
. Like picking out a couple of defeats concludes that we will always lose out. - And who is this "they" if not us, you kind of sound that you're speaking from the other team calling us, they. ...?Again, I can think of a few times we defeated our enemies so maybe you should learn to reason with some "real" Critical Thinking Skills.

Yeah like in Somalia
Yes. The Communists in DC are why the Communists in Russia and China have become bold and empowered.

I really wish you’d stop saying “our” and “we”, as if the UK is doing anything tangible. Your biggest concern is who insulted Harry and Megan.
peace to you
Fooolishness IMO. Russia is a morally better and vastly more Christian nation than the U.S. I won't be raising arms against them in a foreign country.

Are you serious? Communism is marked by atheism and persecution of religion.
You can always buy that one way ticket to your “morally better and vastly more Christian country” if you like.
You might want to change your tagline from “Bible thumpin and gun totin” when you get there or you will experience a little “morally better” retraining in prison.

Thanks for repeating what I just said. It’s good to know we occasionally agree.Russia a more Christian nation than the US? You cannot be serious
peace to you
Russia is not Communist. It's a Conservative Authoritarian regime you could call it, or an Oligarchy, but it is no longer Communist in the slightest. It was Communist no doubt for most of your lifetime, but it has drastically changed.
My region of the U.S is morally better and vastly more Christian than Russia.
Russia is morally better and vastly more Christian than current U.S mainstream culture.
-Putin funds the Russian Orthodox Church, he gives 63% of all religious grant money to it.
-Dmitri Medvedev signed abortion bans even more restrictive than the U.S.
-Pat Buchanan has also picked up on this: Pat Buchanan: Russia Is Not the Great Rival – JAMES EDWARDS
-Protecting toddlers from what the U.S is doing to them in public libraries: Russian gay propaganda law - Wikipedia
These are the tip of the iceberg. If you actually do digging, us Christians in the U.S actually have more in common with Russia than mainstream U.S culture.
I would rather have a strong, Christian, Conservative Russian ally than the modern weak ant-Christian, and woke French and German ones we have.
A U.S and Russia alliance would be enough to contain China. There is a reason many of us latched onto Trump when he spoke about how Russia is not our enemy, China is.
If you read just 1 article, read this with an open non-cold-war-era mind:

If you do not believe the Communist party rules Russia with an iron fist, you are truly misguided to say the least.
For you to praise their heavy handed persecution of certain groups and government funding of religion, again, speaks volumes of your misguided worldview.
Do not believe for an instance your “Bible thumpin gun totin” attitude would be tolerated for a second in Russia.
peace to you
How the Kremlin treats the Orthodox Church is immaterial to me. My concern is how it treats the Evangelical Christian-Baptists. Which is poorly.
Russia saves more children than the U.S does due to its strict abortion bills. FACT
Russia protects children from perverse propaganda while the U.S pushes it on children. FACT
Russia upholds the sanctity of Marriage while the U.S wants marriage of anyone to anyone and anything. FACT
Clearly all the above are evidence of "Iron Fisted Communism".
If you have no problem allying up with Saudi Arabia, UK, France, Germany, Canada but you DO have a problem allying up with Russia then that is hypocritical. Conservatives in the U.S have more in common with Russia than Saudi Arabia.
I am perfectly happy with persecution of certain parties and of state funding of religion.
I agree.
Now compare Russia to Saudi Arabia, and Egypt where Christians are persecuted.
Now compare Russia to Woke Canada where it is now illegal to preach the gospel.
Compare Russia to the UK where the Gospel is silenced.
Russia is far better culturally than many of the nations we consort with even with their persecution of Christians. Almost ALL of our allies persecute Christians. We might as well pick the persecutor that isn't entirely against the Bible.
