Our spending has got to have an effect.

Your domestic fight will depend on you gutting your military, so it can’t be used against your people in the eventual civil war.
Poland is expanding its military, and it is most definitely un-”woke”, and they hate the Russians, for whom most US armaments were meant for anyway. So they are worthy in at least three ways.
I read the article—I didn’t know there was an article to reference until after I posted. Charlie was surprised and not thrilled with his response from what I can read. I will have to listen to today’s episode to find out more.
That’s more than silly. Ukraine can’t absorb trillions. Its just not that big a country. Pre war its GDP was @150-160 billion. Assume one years GDP worth of “aid”, which is a huge amount, most likely unspendable, for reconstruction (Britain, France, Germany didn’t get that in the Marshall plan).
Whose ass did “trillions” come from?
Bkmk
Do they have the dollars to purchase the weapons?
Yes or No?
If they don’t......Bye.
Your argument about giving away hardware is silly.
If you’re worried about our government using the military against us.
The answer is to fire and defund military personnel...not to give away weapons for free to a foreign nation.
Weapons attract militaries. Its like shit and flies.
As long as you have them, you have to take care of them, and so control them, and when it comes down to that day, whoever controls them is going to use them by creating a military.
Since your war is going to be a class struggle between your “banksters” and the common people, it is your enemies that are going to be using M777’s and your stocks of 155mm to bombard Coeur d’Alene. Better that all that is elsewhere. You can’t really sell all that, so to throw it away ASAP, it will have to go free. Unless you want to see that Coeur d’Alene scenario come to pass.
[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]
It wouldn’t surprise me if the total tab were a few trillion. Afghanistan and Iraq were $2T in total, and those were really tiny wars.

The alternative to a couple of trillion might be $100T if we get to the point of all-out war with a Russia augmented with the territory of the EU, and a China augmented with the territory Japan never managed to hold on to during WWII. I look at Ukraine as a way to set Russian territorial ambitions back for decades, and to restrain Chinese ambitions.
I understand you (along with Tucker) think you can hide under your bed and all of this will go away. But the fact is, this is the way the world works, and we’ve been living in a dream world for many decades. Reality is about to intrude* again, and it’s best that we stop the rot before it comes any closer.
* You know it’s serious when both Germany *and* Japan start to rearm.
$#@&$!!!!

How much US military hardware do want to give away to foreign nations.
All of it?
I’m have no idea what you’re talking about, when you talk about bombarding Idaho with artillery munitions.
I live in Oregon, some of my family and friends live in Idaho.
Why would I want to hurt people I care about?
PS Class struggle is for marxist ideologues, I’m not a communist, but I do believe labor and capital need to share in the “spoils of profit.” Good commercial operations find an equilibrium between both capital & labor.
Yes, all of it. Your military is a mass of metrosexuals, gays, trannies, cross-dressers, pedophiles, and the women in it are mainly whores. Besides the time-servers, “swamp” bureaucrats and power-mongers. And come the day they will be tools for your enemies.
Do you WANT them to have any weapons?
The US is irrevocably split between your master class and the people, which hate each other with a white-hot rage. This is not the old marxist idea of class struggle with an economic basis, but of a profound cultural split, of identity and values. The class (or better said, tribe) that controls all your institutions and economic power profoundly despises you, and seeks to completely dominate you.
This all is headed into a revolution and a civil war. Hence the not unlikely scenario where your rebel forces will have to defend Coeur d’Alene, or Spokane, from “government” forces.
Not enough rope.
Our spending has got to have an effect.
Bye bye foreigner😀
You stupid 😀
The America Last ideology still poisons both parties.
The cash that has been spent by America on Ukraine could have done a lot of good for Americans in America.
America Last Republicans and Democrats treat Ukraine’s borders as priceless and America’s borders as worthless.
Ukrainian biolabs?
Ukrainian money laundering?
Someday, we may actually learn what was happening in Ukraine for the last 25 years.
Then, we will understand what they are so desperate to keep hidden
Afghanistan II is coming.
We are going to get dragged into this mess for the next 20 years if we don’t pull the plug now.
There is not a “dollar amount” that is too much to send in Ukraine spending.
D.C. code for everyone gets a slice of the pie.
It’s why they hate Trump so much he stopped it they want to keep it alive.
