So you’re saying it means nothing to the US if Russia marches into Kiev. Great call. /s

Good post. You nailed it!

When Repubs have a one seat majority, it becomes the excuse that they can’t do anything.

When Dems have a one seat majority they are ten feet tall, and can do extreme measures like Maduro, and throw Trump off the ballot.

Preach it, Reverend!

As is typical these days, follow the money.

“It was the intelligence, it was the Europe generals who are in charge of the freedom of the world and of course it was the developments as well, everything has escalated,” he told the outlet.

So, “Europe generals” (sic) are “in charge of the freedom of the world” And nobody questions this statement?

Nope

That’s exactly what you’re saying. If the US aid to Ukraine dries up, Russia strolls into Kiev. If all it costs us is money to degrade Russia’s military, it’s worth every penny. Your call to “do nothing” helps Putin, and I find it to be a weird take.

Your opinion.

150 billion is enough. Ukraine can’t “win”.

How much more? 1 trillion?

Depends on what your definition of “win” is. My definition of “win” in this situation is keeping Russia to the current conflict boundaries (Crimea and the Donbas regions). There is no way to extricate Russia from those areas without committing troops. If Trump becomes POTUS, he has said he would find a way to end the conflict but until that happened he would want to INCREASE aid to Ukraine. As much as I don’t agree with Trump, he’s correct here. The money is negligible, and the main use of the money is to replenish our own weapons stores.
