no more money for the non-Christian globohomo fag zelensky, ok?
Let’s end the damn war. Start the peace talks.
That isn’t an MSN article, it is a Business Insider article, why send everyone to MSN?
It is now 100% certain that Ukraine will lose the war absent direct and massive NATO intervention in the very near term.
Now it's all about what comes afterwards.
To prevent a total economic collapse and Russian takeover, there must be some form of support for Ukraine.
We have currently have four options
One - Stop throwing good money after bad and watch the inevitable military and economic collapse of Ukraine, which will be a total disaster.
Two - Keep funding the Ukraine is the same wasteful and counter productive fashion and delay the he inevitable military and economic collapse of Ukraine, possible til after the 2024 elections to allow our political leaders to avoid paying an even worse political price for their malfeasance. This will be an even worse disaster than than the first option because we have another year of death, destruction and squandered assets to deal with.
Three - Retool our funding and our military and political postures in Ukraine to give Ukraine the necessary leverage and breathing space to execute the best possible negotiated settlement they can get to avoid a total loss. Funding should be contingent upon Immediate entry in to fast track negotiations to end the conflict. We should use the threat of of the defensive military measures we will deploy rather than their actual deployment as the negotiating leverage to arrive at a cease fire as quickly as possible to preserve as many assets as possible
Four - Direct NATO and US intervention ie WWIII. Both NATO and the US are in a very poor position to mobilize for such a conflict at this time.
They can pay us back in young women. Ages 18-28 no kids.
Obviously, the GOP doesn’t even want to try ‘loan versus grant’. They are either too weak or too corrupt to have the Taxpayers’ best interests at heart...probably both.
Disgusting.
As opposed to what has been going on— just giving Ukraine billions for things way beyond the scope of war needs— and the members of Congress and the Executive getting kickbacks from “approved” NGOs in Ukraine. Notably to democrats with their hands out, Rinos who know better but do not care and the usual corruptocrats in DC.
Loan them money— then there is an AUDIT of where it went,and no kickback possible. Audit forces them to be scrutinized at all times.
There is a simple solution. Make the loan to Ukraine using the Chinese bonds we hold from the 1930s.
Capitol Hill thinks they will get paid back for what they already gave them DUH darkness falls.
Bad attempted finessing of something with a clear moral position—which is not funding the needless death of more Ukrainians.
Thats when things get interesting , when they do not pay the loan back....leverage for forward operating bases, intel collecting, etc.
Trump is right on the money as usual.
Lend Lease baby!
They have no money and may cease to exist by the weekend.
