Send more $40 billions

Republican Senator Kevin Cramer told Charlie Kirk during a live segment of his show that there is not a "dollar amount" that is too much to send in Ukraine spending.

I suggest the US just send all its military stuff to Poland. The Poles are in a much better practical and moral position to allocate it to Ukraine or wherever else they see fit to send it.
The US, as a society and set of institutions, is not morally or functionally fit to even own all this military equipment.
If you no longer own weapons, its much harder to be a warmonger. Give it all to Eastern Europe, now.
No,
Poland pays for those weapons.
Its amazing how political parasites like to give stuff away for free.
I’m in the manufacturing sector...nobody gives me free stuff.
In fact they say I’m a deadbeat who can’t compete with foreign competition on pricing..... So tough luck.
They can buy it from us (at a huge mark up) and the profits can go back to the American Tax payer.
Republicans are for endless spending...
The Republicans I know, aren’t for endless spending.
Reminds me of the woman who was emphatic that her bank
account couldn’t be over-drafted.
She still had checks.
Was he complaining about it? Or was he happy with this?
Well? Any idea, Rintintin?
Neocons are stupid assed Republicans and Democrats.
They must be expunged from the body politic.
And, ideally, hanged by the neck until dead.
You will never be rid of it then. Its all a sunk cost. Give it all away at once, lay off all the soldiers, and nobody will be able to argue for spending more money.
You all are not morally fit to be armed.
If you give away all your weapons to Poland and eliminate your armed forces you will never again have to worry about neocons.
Why? You have no use for them. You are morally unfit to have them (the most critical point, you have to agree). They are mostly a danger to your own people above all. And unless you give them away, now, you will never be rid of them.
These sick neocons need to be purged from the GOP.
Our nation is bankrupt and the GOP is as responsible as the Dems. It’s just a matter of time before we collapse from utter stupidity, in addition to embracing Satanism.
I say this with all due respect , so I hope I don’t offend you but I don’t believe your posts are serious so I will no longer reply to your comments.
You simply have no counter argument.
Does the US need all this?
To whom is the US armed forces a danger? Certainly not to any foreign power. It is poised only to suppress a revolt by its own people. The more is given away the better.
So it is the last gasp of morality to give your weapons to a moral country and cause. The Poles for instance. Give them all this, before you use it on each other.
Well, Mr. Senator it’s nice to care about other counties’ freedoms; but the most dangerous enemies America faces are within its borders. And that “containment” thing is no longer a possible approach for a nation that is well on the road to spending itself to death.
[Republicans are for endless spending on endless wars, just like Democrats.
The GOP says there’s always enough money for wars. But they also say we ”can’t afford” to fully fund Social Security - so it will have to be cut.]
Same reason we sided with China against Japan even before Pearl Harbor. We could support China against Japan or we could fight the Chinese* serving under the Japanese banner later on. 13 days after Pearl Harbor, Claire Chennault’s American Volunteer Group in China took out of commission 9 of 10 Japanese bombers sortieng out of Burma:

Then the English conquered them both, and Irish and Scots regiments were some of the fightingest units in the British empire’s formations.
The Russian gambit in Ukraine is its way of preparing for the big game, much as Germany’s involvement in the Spanish Civil War and Japan’s invasion of China were their way of preparing for larger conflicts to come. We are supplying Ukraine so the big game never gets under way. Imagine if we had supplied Poland and Czechoslovakia, making them strong enough to resist conquest by Germany and Russia. 400,000 GI’s and $44T dollars (relative to today’s economy) would not have been incinerated in the furnace of WWII. The trick is not to sweat the small stuff. And $40b is small stuff.
* As it was, Taiwanese and Korean recruits served in the Imperial Japanese Army. Two of them became leaders of their respective countries - Lee Teng-hui in Taiwan and Park Chung-hee in South Korea. Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew served as a junior official in the Imperial Japanese government during the war, which he camouflaged by saying Japan’s secret police had him in their sights. That may have triggered no small amount of animosity from the post-war British colonial government against him.

“So it is the last gasp of morality to give your weapons to a moral country and cause. The Poles for instance. Give them all this, before you use it on each other.”
The United States doesn’t owe a security guarantee to any foreign nation.
Plus can Polish armed services get the job done?
I doubt it since they like to migrate to good jobs in the EU.
Now our State Department likes to sign “stupid paper work” with foreign nations, then a “fire starts” and the good old USA hooks up a fire hose to a gasoline tanker to suppress the fire.
There aren’t any moral countries on the globe....they all have scumbag leadership.
Including a hateful urban America that wants to destroy economic opportunities in rural America.
Our fight is domestic, not foreign, which sucks for neocon ideologues.
“ Social Security and Medicare are $2T a year”
Tucker said our leaders are planning to spend several trillion in Ukraine. America last
It figures that a neocon like you would be for that
