Ukraine, Billions, and No Finish Line — Are Americans Getting Played?
Americans are exhausted — and it’s not because they don’t care.
Ukraine peace talks are reportedly 90–95% complete. Billions have already been spent. Security guarantees are being negotiated. And yet, the same question keeps getting ignored:
Where is the finish line for America?
In this episode of The Middle Ground Mic, we break down the latest Ukraine peace developments, the claimed 15-year U.S. security guarantees, Russia’s drone allegations, and the uncomfortable truth that BOTH political parties seem trapped in endless foreign commitments while Americans struggle at home.
