Here are 10 key reasons experts say U.S. support for Ukraine should be continued:
1. Putin's aggression must be stopped.
2. Putin's atrocities need a response.
3. Russia is targeting evangelical Christians for persecution.
4. Ukraine wants only to regain its sovereign territory.
5. Russia has not "won" the war.
6. Russia is rearming for a larger war.
7. Most Ukraine aid goes to U.S. contractors.
8. Europe fears a coming attack on NATO.
9. Support for Ukraine signals to China: Do not invade Taiwan.
10. Give Ukraine aid to let Trump bring peace.

BTW, Widgie, why do you have Youcrayne gooblediegook in your tagline and frequently sport little Youcrayne flags there but NEVER have placed an American flag there? This is an American, English speaking site, not a Youcraynian or RuZZZian one. The vast majority of the folks on it don't want their money going to help fuel the latest of endless Slav-vs-Slav wars and butcheries.
Pick up a rifle, book a ticket and go fight for the country you love. Leave the rest of us out of your neocon "endless war" obsessions and "Soviet Union" anachronisms and fantasies.
Put your money where your mouth is by going to Youcrayne to fight. Given the dwindling numbers of Youcraynian men available for slaughter, I'm sure you'll be shipped to the front lines where you can (briefly) live out your action figure and "Red Dawn," anti-"Soviet" fantasies. Ugh.
I'm not a Ukraine hater for the sake of hating Ukraine. I am against outright GIVING away arms and money (for services, retirements, salaries and wherever/whatever) to them while our government can't even afford to refill the National Petroleum Reserve OR address the invasion of our own borders.
If this 'support' persists and UKR does manage to extricate itself from this, we will NEVER get anything back from them and we will end up a contributor to a UKR Marshall Plan the likes of which we've never seen.
I'm tired of strumming the ole Uncle Sam freedom banjo for the world and getting NOTHING in return. Nope.
Paul neglects to say that the money used to ‘spend’ your way to prosperity has to come from those who have it to spend, or as an obligation placed on those not yet born.
And thus the great increase in arguments/concerns/reasons and guesses from Zeepers as to why giving all to UKR actually makes some kind of sense.
For that, I submit the sequence in South Park about the Underpants Gnomes.
Step 1. Steal used underpants,
Step 2. ##$%#%##$,
Step 3. PROFIT!!!!!!
That’s the ‘sense’ arguments like all this makes.
“I’m tired of strumming the ole Uncle Sam freedom banjo for the world and getting NOTHING in return. Nope.”
The claim is Ukraine will pay us back using seized Russian assets. How they will manage that I don’t know. Russia doesn’t have much here, and I don’t think many European countries will risk seizing them. They’re too cowardly.
The author’s LinkedIn page is a hoot.
And unemployment checks are good for the economy - riiiight?
Screw Zelenskyy dancing vids - what about the $25 million mansion he just bought in the UK?
That was a fake story by a fake news site.
The Royal Family can't sell off property like that.
By your own admission you are an American expat, living on permanent residency in Italy. You have no business telling Americans on an American forum you do not own or moderate what they should and should not post.
Go back to your studio and pretend your garage band tracks will make you the next U2 while you're at it.
Since everything this current administration does is detrimental to the US, that would include aid to the Ukraine. Hence, it needs to stop.
ββββ-
It is far worse than that. This administration is guilty of murder, hiring out a β hit manβ ( Ukraine ) to kill others ( Russians) is a grave sin.
Which is worse? One who murders another, or one who pays to have someone murdered? The one who pays to have someone murdered is far worse, two parties are now guilty of murder rather than one.
No.
Screw GloboHomoPedoNazi Ukraine and Zeepers.
We need to stay out of the slav’s civil war. Let them kill each other completely, but let’s not rob any more money from the American taxpayer to waste on these shysters.
Hey now, I have a Ukie flag in my tagline too. π
Bwahahaha! Widgey's angry now! Oooh!
You didn't answer my question so I'll ask you again: Why do you have Youcraynian writing and little Youkie flags in your tagline on an AMERICAN, ENGLISH forum? Are you Youcraynian?
Yep, I currently live in Italy, Widgey, and I am an American citizen, unlike so many of your fellow Youcrayne shills and propagandists who are not American citizens and do not live in America.
As far as my music goes, sounds like you're a little miffed that while I spend much of my time in creative and rewarding pursuits, you spend yours on this forum propagandizing for one of Europe's most busted-out, corrupt regimes, one backed mainly by leftists, globalists, WEF types, RINOs and nearly every anti-US .org and NGO on the planet.
The majority of AMERICANS, and the vast percentage of American conservatives, don't want another penny of their money going to the corrupt regime you shill and propagandize for all day, nearly every day. We're sick of you sclerotic Cold "Warriors," Neocons, glowies and MIC types putting the "needs" of a foreign sh*thole 5,000 miles from the US and the scumbags making bank off it ahead of the financial interests of American taxpayers. On a personal note, most of us on this forum are sick and tired of the threats you issue and the games you play, capisce? Or is it "capeshe?"
His form of economics relies on assumptions of existence of money flowing in that are unrealistic.
And the scary part is that people listen to him.
Thanks for the reality check.
