Screw any country other than the USA. We need to fix our problems here and shouldn’t be the fixer for any other country. I could care less how many people die in either country. Not my problem except for the grifters that want to send my tax dollars to a nazi country to fight a communist country.

I’m tired of U.S. taxpayers picking up the costs of other nations’ wars, be it Ukraine, Israel, or anyone else. Even if we were not trillions of dollars in debt, why do we fund defense spending of anyone else? I’m for spending U.S. tax dollars on the U.S.

Being $34 trillion in debt doesn’t bother so what’s a few hundred million or a couple billion for a corrupt nation like Ukraine above all the billions they’ve already taken from us.

Wikipedia lists his ‘education’ as “National Defense University”, so it’s clear that the Deep State controls him.

He's not running for re-election. The pruning continues. He will be another TV mouth on the sidelines like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. He may cash in with Big Munitions.

Has the U.S. experienced any benefit of any kind for arming Ukraine thus far?

Check your calendar. Bill Clinton is no longer president.

I can think of a few, though many will disagree.

1. Arming Ukraine has prevented Russia from taking over Ukraine, thus stopping Russian expansionism for some unknownn time.

2. Arming Ukraine has emboldened other countries, such as Sweden and Finland to join NATO as protection against Russian expansion.

3. Arming Ukraine has demonstrated to the world the superiority of American weaponry.

4. Arming Ukraine has helped to make the USA more credible, as it is upholding its promise to keep Ukrainian national borders intact.

5. Arming Ukraine in serious military engagement has allowed the USA to see the weakness of American weapons systems without putting our troops at risk.

6. Arming Ukraine has demonstrated the imperative of developing cheap and capable drones of several types.

Of course these tend to be debateable.

In my opinion, the chief beneficiary of the Ukraine/Russian
war is China.

"It is time to change strategy. We and our allies must arm Ukraine to the teeth & we need the toughest sanctions.

Time to change strategy? This is exactly what we have been doing since the 2014 coup.

I pray President Trump does not get the United States involved in another Forever War.

Oh, now many American mothers have done just that by claiming that they, the sons, are absolutely certain they are girls.
There is no limit to perversion so long as there are no consequences.

As to wasting more $$ on UK, bloody ‘Ell no. This guy wanting this is owned by weapons suppliers and kickbacks from Uk.

So, this moron wants us to give arms to Ukraine that we’re running low on? He wants us to waste more taxpayer money on a war that Ukraine is losing and that has nothing to do with our national interest?

How so? (Please pardon any density on my part. It isn’t intentional).
