By the way, no need to send money. Send weapons and ammunitions en mass.

I think he handed the Dems a big talking point.

Yeah, let the Democrats advocate for sending trillions of dollars of aide to the most corrupt nation in the world today, and Biden's money laundering mill.

I double-dog dare them.

You missed the point of my comment entirely.

The Dems made hay with the “Russian collusion” hoax in the past; but now they can point to an actual comment by Trump, Jr. to support their claim. It gives the Dems a big talking point, and a figurative rope with which to figuratively try to hang him.

Your statement about corruption is absurd.

So how does Trump get Putin “to the table,” you know, the tyrant Muscovite thug who actually started the war?

Biden Issues Veiled Threat:
“If My Republican Colleagues Don’t Fund Ukraine,
They’re Gonna Have an Awful Lot to Pay For”

................translated from the Bidenese means.....
“the Biden Crime Family family hasnt reached its wealth maximum yet.”


We know conniving Biden’s got billions earmarked to force
American taxpayers to pay for “rebuilding war-torn Ukraine.”

Knowing how corrupt they are over there, it might be conjectured
“extending the war” means “financing rebuilding” is already in progress.........
except they have to destroy a few more neighborhoods to cash in.

Well, I see your point.

I wonder if Putin were to kick the bucket if the next guy would say ‘that’s enough of that’.

Biden keeps gaslighting about the “need” for billions more tax dollars to Ukraine.
Now he’s threatening Americans if we dont cough it up. Here’s why we wont:

About $113.1 billion in 2002 tax dollars were authorized for Ukraine, as per the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. About $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.

US tax dollars are fully subsidizing Ukraine.
<><>paying the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>sustaining critical healthcare services,
<><>paying pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>assisting 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>providing housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>subsidizing 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>bought supplies for farmers,
<><>financing markets for small business.


How bad is it? Tucker Carlson interviewed a military advisor who said we’ve flooded Ukraine
w/ so many US arms and weapons, we can’t defend American families’ own safety and security.

Ahh, so Trump is willing to negotiate territory that isn’t his. Cool.

And when his buddy Putin decides to invade yet another country…what is he willing to give up for that?

90% of the money allocated by the U.S. for military aid for Ukraine has been spent domestically. Our whole industry is be being revitalized.

It can only end when there is an end in sight for the demand for an endless supply of money. Money to pay retirements/salaries of Ukrainians and rebuild the entire infrastructure. To me, that means removing Zelenskyy as a first step.

Using the word “investment” when discussing any government spending is a rude joke. It’s an argument wholly without any economic foundation whatsoever.

“Russia isn’t stopping until Ukraine and that shifty rat faced leader capitulate.”

Then Putin better get ready for another very long war. Because that ain’t gonna happen.

Yet they won’t. Next best option is to cut off the money flow.

Ukraine will never surrender. Would you, as a US citizen, surrender ever to the Chinese? How about Hell and No. Russia needs to go home. Have you forgotten that Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians in his collectivization campaign? So Russian can just forget about prevailing in this campaign. Ukraine will never give up.
