Just a few thoughts here:

Last time he got in I remember him boasting about having the biggest defence budget ever. Presumably he is not going to cut military spending this time. What difference does it make if they send a few percent of that to Ukraine? Or do you think he's going to take money from the defence budget and put it into addiction counselling or social housing?

Do you think a swift resolution to either of those conflicts would involve a just resolution? Presumably it would involve rewarding Russia for its invasion and for threatening to use nukes every other day for 2 years by giving international recognition of stolen territory. Do you think this would guarantee a peaceful future given the number of unresolved territorial disputes in the world? Do you think this will disincentivise countries from developing nuclear weapons knowing thatbthebcrazier you act with them the more free stuff you get? Is there any empirical evidence from previous periods of US isolationism that it leads to world peace?
