Re: #10 from the article, "Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, for his part, has never openly opposed aid to Ukraine, but he has said any foreign aid should be made in the form of loans rather than outright cash giveaways.

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.

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.
