We need a Senator courageous enough to dropkick Zelenskyyyy’s butt through the goal post of life.
No, we need to silence the neo isolationists that can’t see beyond the perimeter of the rocks they live under
Washington Post: Killing Foreigners Via Aid to Ukraine Is Good For American Business

“The war in Ukraine might be deadly but at least it’s good for Boeing!”
That’s the latest message from advocates for unending foreign aid to Ukraine as the Russian war drags on into its third year.
The horrifying conflict could have ended more than a year and a half ago. Instead, Western leaders hung on to stubborn demands to keep Ukrainian membership in NATO on the bargaining table, and, apparently, to justify spending billions in tax dollars to enrich the US military-industrial complex.
Richard Stern, federal budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation, told The Federalist: “Of the military spending we give to Ukraine, none of it is money. All of it is equipment......equipment that has already been produced, so that’s not supporting US defense industries.”
So, who, exactly, is feeling the economic impact? It’s certainly not the average taxpayer. A Heritage Foundation analysis in August found the total aid to Ukraine cost taxpayers $900 per household.
Too, Ukraine isn’t winning........the war-torn nation is now digging in for a turbulent winter and a long, drawn-out conflict.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered the construction of an extensive network of fortifications aimed at holding back Russian forces, signaling a switch to the defensive posture after a months-long Ukrainian counter-offensive yielded only small gains,” the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
More will die, but at least the military-industrial complex is making some money.
