I know, many supposedly MAGA Republican congressmen voted for this in order to look tough on Russia.
Did China lend us the $$$ ?
Why should be consequences?
Helping poor people of Ukraine defend themselves?
US was so far far behind the allies with the help provided. We need to catch up!
We stop looking to DC and start reconstructing our American form of government in pur own counties and states.
I wish I could be more optimistic, but it seems as if our eventual demise is baked in. One of two things will happen: the Russians will be pushed into launching nukes as a last resort, or we will wear the Russians down via the Ukrainians until they say 'uncle'.
In the first case we are toast, literally.
In the second case our elites will have learned the wrong lesson. By eliminating Russia as a threat, and presumably putting China on warning that they may as well have a paper tiger of a military, the US/EU will reassert itself as the lone superpower.
If the US/EU were essentially conservative in its outlook this would be a great thing. However, the US/EU is now fully progressive and woke. This will give them the green light to spread their CRT/LGBTQ+/Marxist agenda across the world. More immigration, more overspending, more indoctrination, more decadence and degeneration.
So either the frog is nuked or the frog is slowly boiled to death. I fear those are our only two options.
we here in central louisiana, in the near past, jusy voted ms letlow to congress, and the dumb bird voted yes!!
We primary every RINO and fake-MAGA traitor in the House. They are up for election every 2 years. There needs to be a purge of these embedded democrat spies in the primaries this summer.
The Swamp isn't just going to surrender without a dirty fight, and the people must take it to them in the primaries.
This is the only way we get our country back.
That's because most people who vote, don't watch over what is happening and just vote R or D. That and a lot of Rs are like McConnell and to some degree Trump now. "I want people who can win". "People who can win" often just have money and/or establishment backing. This is very evident in the PA Senate race right now. Oz is a flip flopping dual citizen liberal running as a repub. He'll denounce his Turkish citizenship IF ELECTED. Why not prove yourself beforehand??? Kathy Barnette seems like a good MAGA conservative but she lacks money and/or establishment backing and Trump endorsed Oz because he has name recognition and money which means "he can win".
My house rep voted for this $40 billion and probably hasn't even read the bill. He's a member of all the right organizations here locally. I doubt many people here like the idea of giving Ukraine $40 billion IF they even know about it and if they do, I doubt they'd bother or know how to look and see who voted for or against it. There's a libertarian running as a repub against my house rep but he has no money or connections and near zero name recognition so I doubt he has a chance. I'm going to vote for him in the primary but I'll be one of the few. Then I guess I'll vote for the current rep in the general. Any repub here is guaranteed to beat the dem because it's very red here.
Where do we go from here? Prepare for hard times ahead. We just hit $30 trillion in debt this year and will probably hit $31 trillion before the year's out. Unfunded Liabilities is $169 trillion. Sooner or later, the debt will come due.
Agree!
And to add insult to injury, guess who is going to have to pay to rebuild Ukraine when the was is over?
You and me.
DC private school scum like excitement... handing out billions of OUR dollars is a thrill for the lowlifes. Just ask Hunter... giving money today brings kickbacks and ‘$60,000 a month jobs.
The USA budget in 2020 was $ 4 trillion. $ 40 billion is 1%
We sabotage what we can.
I don't know about you, but I went Galt, so to speak.
By "going Galt," I mean I left. Note that I intended to retire overseas for the past 10 years so it wasn't a matter of running away with my hair on fire because of this crap. But, with everything going on these days. I'm thrilled with that plan made long ago 👍.
But what about family? I have plenty of room for my kids to join me and stay with me until they can get set up.
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say are not right
At this point we are so far gone only God can save us. There would need to be massive revival and turning back to Him.
My question is to conservatives who believe in America First where do we go from here?
***I’m an AmericaFirst conservative and so is Trump, both of us agree we should be supporting the Ukraine with lots of aid. It is in our best interest to get nuclear nonproliferation correct, which is why we signed the document assuring Ukraine’s borders & sovereignty in exchange for nukes; and so did Russia. It was the right thing to do at the time and now the right thing to do is to support them because they’ve been invaded twice. The Ukes never woulda been invaded if they had kept those nukes.
