The cost of yachts and Swiss Chalets have gone up.
When Bill Clinton was president, I wrote him asking if he'd provide a needy musician with a Selmer tenor saxophone.
Never got a response.
War Crimes produce extensive damage. Russia must be defeated completely and all assets and especially oil and gas come under control of an international reparations entity to provide reconstruction funds
Russia must be ruined

Calm down, McCain!
How long are we going to keep this up? We are just funding rich lifestyles of Ukraine corrupt officials (with some money also being funneled back to our own corrupt American officials). Also, we are rapidly depleting our own arsenal to our nation’s defensive detriment.
Will Americans soon have to just send their paychecks directly to Ukraine?
The Biden administration refuses to encourage the nations to enter into any type of peace talks, and is instead, stirring the pot and agitating both countries to continue to fight.
I’ve noticed the celebrities have lost interest and are moving the Ukraine flag from their profiles in favor of whatever shiny ball has currently caught their eye. As I asked, how long will Americans continue to support this war? A war in which it appears there is no end in sight, as those who are benefiting the most have the least to lose if it continues on indefinitely.
More than one billion dollars was pledged to support Ukraine during a bleak winter at a conference in Paris Tuesday, France’s foreign minister said.
The money, pledged by 46 countries and 24 international organizations, will be split between restoring Ukraine’s depleted energy network, the food sector, water supply, health and transportation, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Catherine Colonna told the conference, adding that $520 million of funding was yet to be allocated.

And when the war ends he will be asking for at least 100 billion, mostly from our pockets.
That is slander.
The world has is in the process of ending the perpetual Russia problem and You and many Freepers choose to make the war about American Taxpayers.
They somehow lack the foresight to differentiate between expense and investment
I understand, his crypto slush fund has evaporated.
Almost a trillion dollars more??? This needs to STOP NOW.

Yeah - let them freeze, starve, die of exposure, and lack of medicine its their fault Russia was forced to invade!!! /s
The only losers in that scenario are our political elite and oligarchs that have been making money in Ukraine and neo-Nazi/Bandera worshipers that will lose their base of operation.
It didn't say "billion" but that's really what he means.
LOL!
You're a funny guy!
Do you think the DC Swamp are going to pass up the unlimited opportunity for graft, kickbacks, and money laundering that rebuilding Ukraine will offer? Those with the right friends in Washington are going to get rich! And their friends are going to get rich too!
They're certainly not going to lose this windfall to Russia.
Oligarchs > $30 B https://www.voanews.com/a/us-backed-task-force-seizes-more-than-30-billion-worth-of-russian-oligarch-assets-/6638426.html
Annually: Oil and gas, say 1/6 of annual income, or $244.2B/6 = $40 B https://www.offshore-technology.com/news/russian-energy-export-earnings-grow-38-this-year/
When I questioned the previous (to this) expenditures, I was told it was a “pittance” of our military budget...
Some have said we are stingy. How many trillions must we spend for a war voters did not approve?
Will Americans soon have to just send their paychecks directly to Ukraine?

Ironic that Zelensky wants money for pensions, yet most Americans don’t have pensions...
