For all the tax dollars we’ve dumped into that black hole……..the German chancellor can kiss americas a$$. He’s lucky that’s all we are going to take.

Guess it didn’t occur to him that Trump is creating a rationale to preserve Ukraine.

President Trump is a wee bit busy now but he will deal with Germany soon.

Olaf needs to stick his head in a big, gooey Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.

Looks like he hates Trump more than he loves the Ukrainians.

Nothing will happen until Gabbard is in place. DNI is over the NRO. Satellites will be relied upon, not biased sources.

And one more time, Gazprom was all over Ukraine for what, 30 years? All these profoundly valuable minerals that suddenly appear, in text, never got mined by the people who poked the most holes in the ground and know more about that geology than anyone else.

Given that reality, odds seem really high that there is nothing there and they are trying to buy from Trump with that nothing.

Thru 2023 Germany had provided $6.6B Euros of aid mostly in the form of surplus military weapons.

We have provided $75B or so according to Ukraine and somehow squandered another $100B somewhere (we are even sure). Those are rough numbers. We are apparently so generous with taxpayer monies that we don’t even keep track of what all we give away.

... and Germany wants to lecture us about helping Ukraine!

Olaf should shut up !
He’s reminding President Trump that the Germans owe America for their lives. I don’t remember any reimbursement for the cost of World War II .
