A petulant and cruel child forcing its dog to fight other dogs, and then abandoning it when it isn't an instant win, out of boredom and a need to freshen up their egotistic social standing.

Ukraine was an arrow. Whether it survived impact was secondary to whether or not it inflicted a wound.

Now THAT is a great metaphor!

The recent almost shutdown kind of made it hard to give it more money to Ukraine if they wanted things to keep running.

The whole government shutdown was never going to happen. However, what they were trying to do was to approve money for Ukraine without a vote. While the vote will almost certainly pass in the end, it does open debate on the issue and that's what I think they were trying to avoid here.

So I'm guessing war with China just got promoted up the priorities list. Yay.
I wonder how long it'll take for them to gear up for it though. They must be really scraping the barrel now, and it'll take years to bring up production. If that's even possible in a Gig economy.
It's way too late at this point. Two decades of insane US foreign policy have forced China, Russia and Iran into a partnership, so instead of taking on China they'd be taking on all of Asia, and that's just not possible.
Lindsey Graham did just say recently that the whole point of the war in Ukraine is to send a message to China.
It probably didn't send the message he was thinking of
