Happy to help you out, @elonmusk. First, it’s a stupid question as Ukraine support is 3% of US military budget. If you are in camp of wanting to utilize US military on border, there’s still 97% of $842 billion to invade Mexico or whatever nutty idea you favor. So it’s a false choice. But what does it mean for US if Russia wins? If Russia defeats Ukraine, it will not stop, just as the successful Georgia invasion led to successful 2014 Ukraine invasion which led to successful Russian intervention in Syria. Ask the Poles or Estonians. If the largest ground war in Europe since WW2 is a victory for aggressor, it will destabilize Europe and end the post-WW2 peace that has made Europe the largest and most reliable trading partner of US. The consequences of appeasement in Europe are obvious and devastating. The odds of Chinese invasion of Taiwan will greatly increase. Why is Taiwan doing so much to help Ukraine? globaltaiwan.org/2023/06/taiwan…. Because they know their security is at greater risk if Russia wins. But if increasing odds for future invasions by Russia and China and their potential for starting WW3 is not persuasive, there’s the question of the basic morality of once again allowing genocide in Europe. This may mean nothing to you but for those of us who have relatives who fought and died to end the last European genocide, it does have meaning. America may be just a place on the map with a flag to you and your globalist friends but for most Americans it is still the last best hope for liberty and human decency. As for the southern border, the Biden Administration has a coherent plan that Republicans have stalled and opposed because they want to use it as a political weapon. cfr.org/article/bidens…. Tweets like yours prove their strategy has some success. But if you are actually interested in comparing Trump vs Biden border policies, here’s a good start: bbc.com/news/world-us-… Lastly, it should not be lost on you that America is a nation of immigrants. Most assimilate American values quickly and with great passion. There are odd outliers such as yourself and Rupert Murdoch who do fail to assimilate but history indicates your many children who are born in America will better understand and appreciate their new heritage. Hope this helps.

@stuartpstevens @elonmusk Well put. False choice narratives have taken over as the argument of choice for many.
@stuartpstevens @elonmusk right on Stuart. Elon - you are on the wrong side of this issue. We must support Ukraine for reasons Stuart wrote. Slavi Ukraini!
@stuartpstevens @elonmusk I don’t know Elon, because an out of control war in Europe could cause tens of thousands of US soldiers deaths and nuclear holocaust, but not closing the border just gives the US more inexpensive labor to help grow the economy? I don’t know, what do you think?
@stuartpstevens @elonmusk Isn’t his deal that he thinks he will be better off if Russia and China increase as world powers while the US and its allies decrease? Because it certainly seems like that’s his deal.
@stuartpstevens @elonmusk Elon is a Putin First Guy. South Africa connection
@stuartpstevens @elonmusk Just tell him if Russia wins he can't go to Mars and he'll start caring.
@stuartpstevens @andreagail_k @elonmusk Missed a decimal
