True, true, and true
Baloney.
Tucker Carlson is a disgusting Fox News sock puppet...but this time he's right.
This one is not just another serving of his bread and circuses for the Fox News Neanderthals in the peanut gallery.
As the US carrier captain said in the HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, “the Russians don’t even take a dump without a plan”, the Russian military analyzed Ukrainian military capabilities and capacities prior to their incursion. However they failed to project military assistance from outside sphere “interests”. This failure caught them with their pants down. But, as we know, war is a learning experience and they are a quick study. They were just recently able to capture 30% of the Ukrainian Army.
Our sanctions against Russia have also led to our increased gasoline prices.
Anyone cheering on our intervention in this fight can pat themselves on the back when they pay through the nose at the gas station.
Any comparisons between present day Russia and the USSR of the Cold War are certain to be misleading. We had good reason to oppose the USSR in any way feasible because the USSR posed an existential threat. Back then we needed a good proxy war like Afghanistan. Todays Russia is a different country with only a fraction of the military the Soviet Union had. And they pose no threat to us. Europe has its own fish to fry, we don’t need to be doing it for them..
Ukraine has been the money laundering site for a number of pols. Biden, Romney, Pelosi are just the cream of that crop. There are others that will 'benefit' from that $40Bln.
Always.
I disagree with this idiot shill and all NWO shills. Either they’re warmonger$, Globalists, or stupid af. It’s too late, we should have done something when Russia was conducting “wargames” along Ukraines borders while building up troops in a strategic manner. A 5 year old chess player could have told you what was coming next But the US Military and the Biden/Harris admin? Which are they... Warmonger$, Globalists, or just stupid af??? This bunch of crooks... probablyy all of the above. I’m not anti-war nor do I trust Vlad. I’m America First anti-WEF/Ukraine/Russia/CCP Communist Reset, period.
BS. Are you really buying that crap? Really?
Tell me how that works. Less than 2 years ago we were energy independent, as in not buying gas on the global market and producing everything we needed here. Didn’t matter what Putin said or did.
The vast majority of the increase is due to Biden’s “energy policies” and the massive inflation created by, among other things, printing money to send to Ukraine.
Only if you believe the higher energy prices make up for the collateral economic damage inflicted on Russia.
Agree. Even handed article. Ukraine has the right to self defense but the 40 Billon is nuts. I called both my senators on this, to no avail. My hunch tells me the bill contains huge pay offs for the RATS.
Don’t confuse the Soviet Union with Russia...
Let me refute your assertions (disguised as rhetorical questions) one by one:
1. "If we send weapons are we not as engaged as the Ukes?" No.
a. The heroic Ukrainians soldiers are fighting and dying.
b. The Russian invaders are devastating the Ukrainian homeland and murdering its civilians.
2. "Would Russia not be within her rights to attack us?"
No.
a. The Soviets supplied our enemies during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and yet we did not view that as sufficient provocation to directly attack the U.S.S.R.
b. Not even the Russians would be crazy enough to believe that - and they obviously do not, insofar as they have undertaken ZERO measures to directly attack us.
3. "Why send them $40B when there are empty shelves in our grocery stores?"
a. Because it would help repel the Russian invaders, speed a quick end to the war, and lessen Ukrainian losses.
b. Because "empty grocery store shelves" (empty of what, actually?) is a Non Sequitur.
4. "Besides, according to the propaganda on FR, the Ukes are kicking Ruski butt anyway."
a. See 3a, above!
Class dismissed!

And they still pose no a threat to us.
Every Russian military asset destroyed by the Ukrainians today is one less that we might one day have to face.
Regards,
Why now? Because BeijingBiden is multitasking by getting money from the CCP and his cut from UK.
DJTrump did not ‘cause he is not a crook and traitor.
UK is hub of $$ laundering and paedo trafficking. So, of course folk who like BBiden and profit from him will defend him and insist that billions of US taxpayer $$ flow into UK.
This would never have happened if UK had honored the Minsk agreement wherein they agreed to cede eastern UK “states” to Russia as the citizens there voted to do.
I clicked on your first article and it leads with “Biden said”. Not very confidence inspiring. And, ABC and Marketrealist?
Of course Biden wants us to believe that Russia, Russia, Russia is causing our domestic problems rather than his own disastrous policies!
Did you just skim right over the part where we are fully capable of being and recently were, energy independent? Do you not understand why we are not right now? Why this is even an issue?
Good grief....
True.
We borrow what is essentially how many Billion from China, to give Ukraine 40 billion. The difference is, we pay the interest into eternity. It is not that we can’t afford it, but are borrowing from a nation that hates us and plans on making the entire world asian. They believe that the Americas and Australia are their homelands.
