China continues to build its military strength while we squander away billions defending Ukraine, a country we have no treaty obligation to defend.


China continues to build its military strength while we squander away Trillions on Climate Change, Green New Deal, Wind Mills and Made in China Solar Panels.

If you want to complain about Congressional spending, picking on Ukraine spending is like giving a Kleenex to a polio victim.

We have to borrow the money to pay for all of these projects. And we have the looming $100 trillion liability of Social Security and Medicare. The SS Trust Fund is exhausted in 2033 and Medicare’s HI trust fund in 2028.

Why are we spending billions in Ukraine? What is the exit strategy?

The other issue is that confronting China would be an issue of air and naval power. We’re sending ground munitions to Ukraine, generally from the European stores that were pretty much set aside for a potential conflict with Russia anyway.
