The Russians seemed to have taken the threat of the U.S. arming the Ukrainians with missiles, along with economic sanctions, pretty seriously. They're withdrawing troops.

These were your words: "Open sea lanes are critical for the support of free enterprise, and by extension democracy, around the world."

Did you not mean that open sea lanes are a function of United States military presence and action? How does it and how has that action led to democracy? The two are quite unrelated, but the direct cost to Americans yet to be born is directly related.

No, that's not what I meant. Keeping the sea lanes open to benefit free enterprise is directly supportive of establishing and maintaining democracy. Although, I get the distinct impression you believe it is strictly jingoistic.
