What Ukraine really needs are all those young men streaming across our border.

I’m disgusted with our government sending our tax money to support the Ukrainians.

Oh, my!

Is this the same offensive that was supposed to be launched last fall and then in the winter and then the spring and now a summer offensive?

No worries. Just keep sending them our money for their greedy little corrupt pockets and draining our military stocks just as we are gearing up to fight China!

Smart. Real smart!

Don't you just love to see real geniuses at work?

I recall the wailing when the Khereson offensive didnt occur fast enough. But it did occur. And was successfull. There was no offensives planned by Ukraine until spring. One need to be more patient lest egg gets on ones face again

And what happened to the great Russian Winter Offensive?

“The United States is planning to send Ukraine around $1.2 billion in LONG-TERM military aid...”

I guess we’re out of short-term military aid. Not surprising from this bunch. Hopefully, they LEARN A LESSON here, which is NOT to start a war with a superpower without preparing to actually FIGHT that war (or at least preparing to properly supply a bunch of fascist idiots on the other side of the planet who are stupid enough to fight it for us).

...but I doubt we’ll learn a damn thing.

I agree. How many times have we been told “But we can do both!”...namely give money to Ukraine AND enforce the border. We always do the former and never the latter.

...totally agree....! this is a snippet from another web site....very appropriate...

....”...Meanwhile Biden sends billions to Ukraine, lots of billions, our billions, while America crumbles within. A corrupt, senescent, second-rate lawyer mysteriously empowered to bankrupt his own country to benefit a corrupt, dirtball country of no importance to America.

“How is this possible? Why do Americans tolerate it?

“Because they have no choice. Americans have no influence over their government except in things that do not matter to that government. .....”

We peons have no say in how our tax dollars are spent (wasted, actually....)...
