Rand Paul: "The amount of money going to Ukraine in this Bill is more than we spend on the entire Marine Corps."
Insane

Yup. Thats a problem.
Or maybe not, depending on your POV. Maybe dead is OK, but its just is not right IMHO.
We need at least one genuine fighting force.
Amputated?
Thats right.
As RFK Jr often points out we spend more on diabetes than the entire defense budget. At least with Ukraine the money is going to contractors and replenishing US weapons supplies.
We will be spending way more money than that after WW3.
Treason has many paths and users.
“Nothing for America everything for Russia”
Russia is earning $91billion/yr extra just on oil thanks to Biden energy policy.
That’s the difference between $52/bbl and $75/bbl oil.
That enabled his invasion and obv is impoverishing us.
Does not even include nat gas.
But combat?
DEI does not win wars.You get to die politically correctly.
A reminder:
When generals were generals, a long past time.
One of our Army Air corps Commanders who later became head of SAC in the 1960s (not LeMay , BTW) was considered by many to be an out and out sadist.
But they got the job done.
In war DEI = DIE
Thanks he’s one of the good guys
Krosan, you're the same person who just posted "Russians need killing and their army needs destroying because they’re just evil." earlier in this thread.
Is it beyond the pale to simply say "Ukraine and Russia are both crap, and we have no business intervening when we have more pressing issues in America"?
Yes, two bad actors. Best not to get involved.
Yet here we are. The UniParty going STRONG for their favored bad actor.
But Why???
Follow the Money???
Russia invaded Ukraine. They’re the evil ones. Saying “they’re both crap” is just lying. People do that because they think it looks better than saying “I just don’t care”.
“Russia was one of the Axis powers that started WW2”
A ridiculous whopper. The Soviet Union was not ever in the Axis and it was not a German ally. They’re bad actors and all that, but at least you don’t have come on here and lie about them. It just more deranged Russia hatred.
“Russia invaded Ukraine. They’re the evil ones. Saying “they’re both crap” is just lying. People do that because they think it looks better than saying “I just don’t care”.”
Sorry, they are, and don’t forget the third pea in that rotten pod, Belarus.
Germany and Russia were in an alliance - therefore allies - when they invaded Poland at the start of World War II.
The Axis Powers of World War II, were Germany, Italy, and Japan.
No, they just acted together Poland. Never a formal alliance.
So the act of military invasion is inherently—always and everyone—an immoral act, regardless of circumstance or the history leading up to it? You sure you want to stick with that?
Saying “they’re both crap” is just lying.
I think most Americans would have objectively called Russia and Ukraine "crappy" before 2022; were they lying then?
It's the fact that they're both crap — combined with the fact that they're thousands of miles away, far removed anything of importance in domestic America (beyond our stupid sanctions which caused fertilizer costs to skyrocket) — that leads me to say "I don't care about this conflict". That's the point, because there's much more important things to worry about in our own backyard.
The Border: Open.
Inflation: Skyrocketing.
FBI: Criminalizing police opposition.
US Intelligence Agencies: Rigging the election.
Infrastructure: Collapsing.
I can't express how little I care about whatever foreign conflict you're trying to distract me with right now.
