There’s no debt under Lend Lease. It was capped at $100 million and had too much scrutiny. Also it expired in September and they didn’t bother to extend it…why would they? This is our war escalation not Ukraine’s. So they just appropriated funds outside of it to give away to Ukraine and the crooked politicians.

The person you were communicating with has been spreading his garbage religiously. Probably in on the take, in some fashion.

That’s bull. Ask Amber Heard about “COMMITMENTS” vs “donations.”

You’re a sick person. Lying all the time.

At Lockheed, we thought in terms of a stalemate with the Soviet Union that did enrich our industry, and that was not race based — as your comment implied. Many diverse teams profited in so doing. It is true the that this is equipment was not as useful to the economy as other tools would have been. But they kept the peace for many years except for proxy wars like we are in today.

When a leader says they can end this activity— maybe we should elect him/her.

“USA_FRANCE has been outed several times as a Ukrainian.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ohh, that’s a first.
Normally you Russians out me as a French frog.
So are you giving me an upgrade now?

You Mariner, have been outed countless of times as a foreign pro-Russia fanatic though!

So here is my recommendations for you :

Tell your Russian friends to stop supporting Iran and Hamas against Israel.

Tell your Russian friends to stop invading Americas allies - like Ukraine for example. Or Georgia... Or Moldova...

Tell Your Kremlin bosses to stop menacing to take Poland and the Baltic States.

Tell your Russians pals to stop menacing America with nuclear weapons regularly on live Russian pro Kremlin TV.

And lasty. Stay in Moscow. We dont need you in the West.

“Don’t you think about Christian morality at times?”

Your faith and ideology is being steered and manipulated, they are leading you by a nose ring. Do you really think the MIC gives one care about how many are killed or who is right or wrong? Moral or immoral? Who is guilty or who is innocent?

All they care about is selling the tools that humans both moral and immoral use to kill each other. They are not in the business of righteousness. They are the business of killing humans both moral and immoral without any difference.

And they have secretly started wars just to create new cash flow. They started these. They use the excuse of oil or resources, faith, whatever it takes. So who is the true sinful and guilty party? They are disciples of the devil and they have occupied your soul with their lies.

We did, and about the time Trump was about to pull us out of all the wars they stole the election from him to make sure it didn’t happen.

“Ukraine will also pay back the American lend-lease weaponry program. Ukraine being the most resourceful county in Europe.
It has Europes largest or second largest Uranium production for example, which America badly needs.”

The stupidty of some like to claim the consequences of a war were its motivations - as if the “purpose” of Ukraine defending itself was just to boost revenues for defense contractors.

To me that is no different than saying the purpose of defeating Japan was just to create big American defense contractors.

How did so many conservatives take on all the memes of the American Left???

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Read again.
The commitments are made by EU and the USA (yes AND the USA) Right?
So according to your nonsensical answer, you mean that the USA is just committing to Ukraine! Without paying??

All payments are always preceded by commitments. Thats how things work.

You seem to be un-aware. Time to go back to school for a while.

The constant use of paid political/media shills by these defense contractors to promote these stupid wars even BEFORE they start completely undermines your statement. Lindsey Graham, for example, has become such an embarrassing war-mongering caricature on FOX News for years that he ought to be just given his own nightly show on the network.

“I dont want to be enslaves by Russa. We need to think about our children’s future.”


The ten million illegals entering the USA since 2021 is going to have far more effect on “our children’s future” than anything Putin does in Ukraine or Europe.

Get a load of post #44.

Only a Ukrainian could be that stupid, and they ARE the benchmark.

Thank God we have an adult new Speaker in the House!

Mike Johnson is becoming the free world’s new hero! Personally, I think he is great, a true conservative patriot deeply believing in God. Mike knows the difference between good and evil.

“The effects of WWII made America unimaginably rich and powerful.
The ongoing war in Europe is set to Make America Rich Again. “


NeoCon MIC Swamp logic:

“The greater the war, death and destruction; the greater the riches ! “

Who is a paid political/media shill for what defense contractor????

You wrongly assume that just because someone takes a position in politics of the media, to defend supporting Ukraine that they are only doing so, that their only motivation is, to promote sales of U.S. arms. It is a claim with little foundation.

By your claim Ronald Reagan was the biggest shill for the American arms industry ever!!!!

This doesn’t mean he will get it you know. Evil is destroying America for Ukraine.
