Hard to think of a Congressional floor debate more detached from reality than this Ukraine lend-lease spectacle happening now on the House floor. Both party’s speeches have been replete with references to World War II and our “sacred responsibility to defend democracy.” Bizarre.

Wow, yes that’s not reported. Why should we pay for this? It’s like pirates fighting pirates, why pick sides?
Here’s the money so far spent.

another dem slush/election fund.....
At what point does it just become cheaper to buy everyone in the Ukraine a house in a nicer country ? It’s not like anyone wants to live in Ukraine anyway
In Russia, they ban anything but the Orthodox Christian Church.
Okay good, so let’s NOT pretend Russia is a “democracy” and let’s NOT send them American billions.
Oh wait...
Fraud and grift are ‘bipartisan’. Same as it ever was.
You drag $33 Billion around the Beltway and the fish on that long line are bipartisan. Gut them all. Chum with their carcasses. Maybe 10% goes to any real help to Ukraine. Ukraine is the Haiti earthquake of 2022.
What are you talking nonsense about?
Ukraine is an Orthodox country.
There is a proposal, just a proposal, by a MP to ban the RUSSIAN Orthodox church. The Orthodox in Ukraine have their own autocephalous church, the Ukrainian Orthodox church, recognised by the Patriarch of Constantinople.
He banned pro Russia parties that were funded by the Kremlin.
That’s 11 parties out of the 300 odd parties in Ukraine
“A “democracy” that bans the Orthodox Christian Church.”
The Russian Orthodox Church, not the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
In the Orthodox tradition, Church, State, the people and the Monarchy are joined under heaven. That is why there is a Russian Orthodox Church, a Greek Orthodox Church, a Romanian Orthodox Church, and so on.
The schism between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is a fundamental statement of National identity, and National independence from Russia.
Of course it will be bipartisan. The Ukraine adventure is a uniparty priority.
How much will the Big Guy get?
Okay, thank you for the “correction,” they only want to ban the RUSSIAN (sic) Orhtidox church.
So we’re sending billions to a “democracy” that picks and chooses which churches to ban. Those are always the best kind.
If you’re trying to look like a stereotypical Polish dumbass it’s working.
Most corrupt country on the planet , they say . USA not far behind .
This is IN ADDITION to the over $12 billion for Ukraine passed earlier. It’s in addition to the “Lend Lease for Ukraine” legislation.
Yet another SPENDING SPREE. The FUNGIBLE cash will be flowing like the Mississippi River.
10% for the Big Guy.
Told you it was bottomless money pit from hell 🤪
Calls for Ukraine debt relief grow as IMF and World Bank provide fresh loans amidst crisis
6 APRIL 2022
SUMMARY
The country – reeling from the Russia invasion – owes a total of $22 billion to the IMF, World Bank and other international financial institutions.
Dude, do you know anything about the Russian Orthodox church or Orthodoxy at all?
Dogma wise all the Orthodox believe the same.
Tye Russian Orthodox patriarch Kirill supports the war openly against Ukraine.
And note again that this was a Proposal not “the government wants to” not a government decree
