I have. Even before the war, Ukraine was the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe. Rural Ukrainians live in absolute backward living conditions: Illiterate, no electricity nor running water with the population living in primitive shacks. Alcoholism is also a massive problem.
I’m beyond sick of our government paying the pensions of Ukrainians, while needy Americans go without is beyond evil.
The US comes first, NOT Ukraine! Not one more penny to Ukraine and no US troops risking their lives for that country.
I will never forgive the little grifter Zelensky for campaigning for Harris in Pennsylvania, nor will I forgive the assassination attempts on the life of President Trump which have been linked with Ukraine.
But that’s the point. Payback from Ukraine is their resources which we should be able to exploit. I don’t think Putin is stupid enough to attack Americans in areas where they may be located. He’s brutal and evil enough but not entirely stupid. IMHO, I’m leaning towards Trump’s plan being successful.
Not every country in the world has what Ukraine has, actually very few, and it should be payback for the billions we gave them. I’m sure Trump understands what is to gain vs. what could be lost better than we do. He’s an expert and is also surrounded by experts. Real ones, not the incompetent yahoos Biden had.
BS...In the 60s, we’re were building our first house. Our old neighbors were Ukrainian, they received letters begging for clothes.
I hope you’re right.
At this point, we at least have hope. Much more than we had with the previous admin. With the Biden Admin there wasn’t much, and if the idiot Kamala won, we would all be in serious trouble.
