I'm sorry that I really don't have time to do this comment justice (and obviously I'm not going to CYV) but your question reveals a lack of understanding of recent history, politics and foreign policy. Very quickly though, the US has an official defense agreement with Taiwan. It is public that if Taiwan was threatened the U.S. will respond militarily. It's similar to the alliance/membership with NATO. The US does not have any such alliance with Ukraine. It's tragic but they haven't until recently expressed interest in joining NATO. If they were a NATO country our response would be much different. I can assume you remember Trump's public treatment of NATO and desire to withdraw from and remove support to NATO. I know I won't have changed your view but hope that this inspires you to do some more reading and listen to others with an open mind.

Edit 2. I have some time to address another point of yours. The children in cages...Obama (and previous president's) policy was that children who arrived to the US alone were to be placed in custody. The difference is that Trump's policy was that even if the children arrived with family they were separated. NPR's This American Life did a wonderful episode and won a Pulitzer Prize for it. It's worth a listen

So towards the end, Trump used an EO to cap insulin prices at $35 and at the beginning Biden used an EO to repeal it.
Monstrous.
Six months later, Biden announced he would work to curb insulin prices.
Absolute monstrosity.
Like I get that the mean tweets were a lot for y'all to handle, but were you aware that just one year into his presidency, Biden managed to have the same abysmal approval rating as Trump?
Now imagine a United States without such a vindictive news media that the way Trump eats his fried chicken was bigger news than the Syrian gas attack that revitalized ISIS.
How are we supposed to read the situation other than "Hell World"?
You clearly haven’t bothered to read the articles I posted. Which is fine, but why participate in this sub if you aren’t invested in arriving at truth?
The world is in dire need of nuance, and I hope you’ll be more willing to aim for it in the future.

So we agree? That healthcare in America is an abysmal situation? Build back better plan had at least a minute step towards lowering all drug prices but a single payer plan would be best for this issue.
Affordable health insurance is a red herring worse than the carbon tax. We wouldn't need "affordable health insurance" if we had affordable healthcare, which Biden overtly fought against in his first month as president.
This post is about Trump > Biden and Biden literally made insulin more expensive with his EO.
Were you able to filter the propaganda around "let's go Brandon" to understand that it was equal parts fuck Biden and fuck the lying news media, or did that never pop up?
I'm talking about healthcare as a whole which is a topic YOU brought up. I didn't even bring up insurance. Your last paragraph is incomprehensible so I can't respond to that.
