If we don't want our children dying in the Baltics in fifteen years, we'd better hope the regime changes

Yeah, and I’m saying that since we got so much practice at it in South America when we were drunk on the Cold War, maybe it’s time to put those skills to use against an actual goddamn adversary which is posing a clear and present danger to us and large swaths of the world instead of sCaRy sOCiALiSt eLEctEd GovErNmEntS

Success at direct regime change has been, shall we say, elusive. I'd rather we keep making Ukraine and NATO increasingly muscular, while also keep rebuilding the state department. Trump really gutted it, you may recall, which I'm sure was music to Putin's ears.
