Schumer said he'd put the bill on the floor for a vote TODAY, but so far zilch.

He doesn't have the votes.

Ukraine is going to lose no matter what the US does.
The swamp is still trying to steal taxpayer money.
How much of the ‘Ukraine Funding’ gets kicked back to democrats and RINOs?
Or maybe defense contractors?
Putin was ALWAYS going to win this conflict, just a matter of time.

Trying to set up things in order to blame conservative anti-war folks for the inevitable failure of this Neo-Con fiasco.

Hundreds of Freepers would cheer a Russian victory. And if the Russian continued marching over the Baltics and Poland, they would cheer again.

America saves money this way; never mind the loss of US jobs and skills or the 100s of billions Biden spends on green boondoggles - that’s OK because the money stays in the US, right?

Never mind a real major war raging across all of Europe; never mind US troops directly fighting Russians and their new allies.

Once the bastion of freedom, now America is the land of saving money from foreign ventures - freedom only works in the US - no matter if Europe falls into Russian hands.

Hundreds of Freepers would cheer a Russian victory, as FR becomes another Russian and Chinese propaganda outlet

We’re destroying our own country so politicians, their family members, their friends, and their big donors can get rich from investments in the military industry, and money laundering.

I think most Americans think the billions Biden is sending is being used only to fight the war.

Here’s the truth:

March 7, 2023
How is US taxpayers’ money being used in Ukraine:

* Money the USA sends is to support the Ukrainian government.
U.S. assistance has helped keep the government functioning.
* Some of the funding has been spent on social assistance payments and salaries for health care workers, first responders and educators.
* It also helps cover pensions and support Ukrainians displaced by the war.

February 23, 2023
USA taxpayers’ funding Ukraine has helped the pay the salaries of:
* 618,000 educators
* 517,000 health workers
* 56,500 first responders

It has also helped to:
* sustain critical healthcare services
* meet its pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people.

It is assisting:
* 1.3 million internally displaced persons
* providing housing assistance to 4.1 million people
* providing social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
* 480,000 persons with disabilities.

The Ukraine WILL lose the war without American aid. The Europeans are useless as allies so they cannot save the Ukraine on their own.

The Ukraine government and military are merely sock puppets with America’s fists shoved up their backside and making them look alive.

Ukraine is already lost. Anymore money sent there is solely for the purpose of laundering it.
