The United States is fighting a proxy war in Ukraine against Russian aggression, and we’re not doing it on the cheap. The Biden administration announced on Friday that we were sending another $400 million in military aid to Ukraine. This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory over the eastern Luhansk region last week.
Putin jumped the gun a little, although Russian troops hold the upper hand throughout most of the region. The problem for Putin is that those pesky Ukrainians refuse to surrender. And the United States is making their continuing resistance possible by giving Kyiv high-powered weapons to fight with.
To date, we’ve spent $8 billion in military assistance to the Ukrainian army with tens of billions of dollars in military hardware in the pipeline. Congress authorized $54 billion in military and other aid to Ukraine — some of which went to our NATO allies to help us defend Kyiv.
And therein lies the problem. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, NATO countries have not increased their military expenditures since Russia invaded Ukraine.

There were myriad reasons, but it was obvious that Ukraine became ant-Russian right after the 2014 coup. Who is to say they wouldn’t have made an exception of early admission for Ukraine, look how fast they took the Baltic countries in, not to mention Sweden and Finland. Putin would have been foolish to wait any longer, he could see what was up. It is you and your ilk who are pathetic mouthing the globalist/neocon propaganda. Just a bunch of dummies apparently.
I already posted about the attack on the abandoned brewery in Alchevsk. Secondary explosions continued for hours. It was a good strike and saved Ukrainian lives.
Your conspiracy theories are not what countries base going to frickin’ war over.
You can twist your shit any way you want. In the end Russia wanted Ukraine. It’s that simple. They are bullies and invaders.
They should go home.
“It’s that simple.”
No, you’re that simple if you fall for the propaganda.
No fools greater than the DC fools.
Really? Have you ever wondered WHY, that right after the first announcement that we were sending $40 Billions dollars in “aid” to Ukraine, every top tier CommieRAT and their Assistant CommieRATs were all hauling ass to Ukraine?
If you can’t see that this entire clusterf**k is nothing more than a MONEY LAUNDERING Operation, then you got your blinders on way to tight.
And just to be clear, as much as I don’t trust Putin as far as I could throw him, I trust Biden, Pelosi, McConnell or Whoopi Goldbrick and people that support these reprobates even less.
Trump is my hero he supports Ukraine you’re demented.
Who is “them?”
I did not write that.
Your post indicates that you do t know how foreign military aid works.
Good answer. Full of information and insightful commentary. You should be proud.

Dang. Guess I need to retract my post then. 🤔😁✌
we need to filibuster further spending for the ukraine.
RINOs should but won’t
I doubt that you love Trump. Neocons always wrap themselves in the flag while they push the Forever War. The Ukraine War is just the latest edition of a series of lost wars fought for profit for the parasite class and paid for by the blood and treasure of American citizens. The parasite class commited a coup because he stopped pushing for more war.
You doubt I love Trump?
Well then we see how demented you are don’t we?
I support his policies, you do not.
Nor do you know if I’m a “neocon” or a rastifarian (sp). You’re just running your mouth.
I am a huge Trump fan but, unlike you, I know that the Ukraine War is not his biggest concern and neither that of the United States. You just go onto every thread pushing it like the neocon flack that you are.
I dare you to name a war that we have one in the past 50 years that wasn’t the invasion of Graneda.
You must be a supporter of Leaky Leahy and Comrade Sanders.
And yes, I do know how Commie delivered “foreign aid” works, especially when delivered by corrupt Anti America reprobates to regimes who are equally corrupt and equally Anti America.
Go peddle your nonsense elsewhere.
So you think it’s because Trump, who was president, and was surrounded by experts of all kinds, doesn’t have the time to focus on Ukraine.
Unlike you, who knows this issue much better than the former president.
And meanwhile those of us who support Trump, who is not a neocon, are somehow neocons.
Just maybe Trump is right.
As for what I do on “every thread”, I react to people who are an embarrassment, like the person who said today that Russia is justified to threaten Alaska.
I also happen to understand the strategic importance of Ukraine, and of stopping Russian aggression in Europe.
I also realize Biden did NOT want to fight Russia in Ukraine, and that his weakness led to this war. Which Trump also has been clear about - the war wouldn’t have happened if he were president.
