American aid to Ukraine has eclipsed the annual expenditure of “endless” wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

As the protracted war between Ukraine and Russia continues unabated, congressional lawmakers and President Joe Biden have appropriated $110 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine. Some pro-Ukraine advocates have contended that the costs of aiding Ukraine’s fight with Russia amounts to “peanuts” in “grand strategy terms.”

I'm so tired of the New World Order and their precious little Ukraine. I wish Russia would just turn it into a glass parking lot so that everyone could move on and focus on more important things.

Anti-war, code-pink Democrats have wasted more money on Ukraine than Afghanistan and Iraq.

We already sold $1T in LNG to the European Union in 2022.

Sales we took from Russia.

$110B per year is peanuts to defeat Russia.

And a lot of that is armaments that would have been destroyed because it was past use by date.

The article is about one-year (2011) expenditure on Afghanistan. Cumulative expenditure on Iraq & Afghanistan was @15-20 times that.

You are full of unresolved rage. I would otherwise call this little outburst on your part insane, but I don’t think it is. It is a spiritual issue, IMHO.

Satan sneaks into us through our sins, like addictions of all kinds, including that to excessive anger. I suggest that you look into a religious retreat for a few weeks to contemplate your priorities and beliefs.
