As the war between Ukraine and Russia along with Israel and Hezbollah drags on, it’s natural for countries like Canada and the USA to want to help. But with all the billions we’re spending on these wars, we have to ask if it’s really doing any good. It should also be noted that, all that money we put into it is gone forever. I know they say it isn’t, but I don’t believe that for a minute.

Now, don’t get me wrong, every country has the right to protecting their own, and we do need to show our support now and then, but truth told, sending so much money and supplies overseas puts a big strain on our own resources. Here in Canada and the USA, we have our own problems, like not enough houses, doctors, food for the needy, retirement homes that aren’t up to par, people sleeping in the streets and the list goes on and on. Oh, and not to forget that all that money they are sending to other countries comes right out of the working man’s paychecks. Knowing that, shouldn’t we be taking care of those issues first?

Personally, I think it’s time to rethink our approach. Instead of just sending more money and weapons, we should focus on making a real difference for our own people/country first. If we don’t take care of our own country, we won’t be able to help anyone else, it’s simple as that. Now, that doesn’t mean ignoring what’s happening in the world, but we need to be smart about how we use our resources.

It’s a tough choice, but I believe it’s the right thing to do.
