At least Pedo Joe sent $500,000 to Transgender freaks in Pakistan. That money is more productive than the money for former Ukraine.
Now we’re about to get hot with China in the Phils.
We are in WW3.
I knew you would be showing up. You’re so obvious and easy to dig out.
Considering what this is doing to the readiness of our military I consider it to be Treason.
Glad to be here for you, I knew you’d have an anxiety attack if no one complimented your virtue.
With Kevin McCarthy’s full support.
If you support all this spending, BECOME A DEMOCRAT and start posting on left-wing websites because there isn't anything the least bit conservative about you.
What possible “detrimental consequences later on” do you fantasize about?
Ukraine is a former Soviet state, just like Russia, not a member of NATO, besides being the epicenter of corruption. Who cares, let them squabbling. Ask yourself why we did nothing (other than a sternly worded letter) when Russia annexed Crimea 9 years ago. Ask yourself why we don’t get involved in any of the half dozen wars ongoing worldwide right now. What makes Ukraine so special this time around and why?
The detrimental consequences we have NOW because of our involvement is the debasement of our currency, de-dollarization of the world reserve currency, strengthening and expansion of the BRICs alliance, not to mention the loss of diplomatic clout in the Mid-East, Africa, and South America.
Wonder if it’s really weapons this time. The last time I researched a Biden ‘gift’ to the Ukraine, it sounded like weapons but if you read the fine print, it’s a fund the Ukrainians can ‘draw down’ with the intention of purchasing weapons with the funds. It’s like actual weapons on it’s money that can ‘disappear’ if you know what I mean.
So I wonder if this time, it’s vapor weapons or actual weapons. Basically the explanation was the it wasn’t cost effective to ship weapons and the US didn’t want to deplete its weapons cache etc. So cash for Zelensky to buy weapons - wonder if that’s the deal again.
From the article: “In all, Washington has sent Ukraine roughly $36.4 billion since President Biden took office, all but about $700 million was sent after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2021.”
Won't have to worry when/if the nuclear war against Russia fails
Try again and be specific. Which NATO member do you think Russia will invade, or are you just recycling 1960s era “domino theory” that got us involved in Viet Nam?
Do you actually think Russia is going to attack a NATO member? Ukraine is NOT a NATO member. The whole reason Russia got involved there to begin with is because the west has been grooming Ukraine to join NATO. How can you not know this?
Stop mentioning NATO.
NATO is just a treaty, and any member can break away easily, especially when they notice the lack of support from the U.S. and other EU members. Afghanistan and Ukraine would easily be the impetus for any country to lose faith in the U.S. or NATO. Anyone can see, especially if Ukraine were to fall, that the U.S. cannot be trusted to uphold any treaty promise or any kind of protection.
China and Russia do hope that the U.S. stops assisting Ukraine. Why do ou suppose they would want that?
China gets stronger by the day, and we get weaker by the day. We have enemies all over the world, and Ukraine would be the license for them to get bolder and seek more power and more takeovers of adjacent and even remote countries. NATO allies wold cease to be NATO allies if they know that the U.S. is weak and undependable. Ukraine wold be a big sign of that.
Why is it that people refuse to learn the lessons of history? Weakness has ALWAYS invited aggression. WW2 is the biggest lesson of all, and abandoning Afghanistan was the gift that Russia needed to go after all of Ukraine. And China is behaving exactly like Russia.
Let’s not be so dopey.
Oh my, you actually believe the USA should be the World Police™️. What a great way to signal your virtue.., carry on.
