This is for Ukraine’s victory party.
They are TOTALLY kicking Russia’s behind.
Just effing annihilating them. Making them their female dog.

Cluster bombs,how appropriate,with the four letters that follow...

The GOPe trying out this message are the same ones that want NATO to join this war.

How many times do you have to be told that cluster bombs are not a war crime?

“Is using them a war crime?
The use of cluster bombs itself does not violate international law, but using them against civilians can be a violation. As in any strike, determining a war crime requires looking at whether the target was legitimate and if precautions were taken to avoid civilian casualties.”

“The part of international law where this starts playing [a role], though, is indiscriminate attacks targeting civilians,” Human Rights Watch’s associate arms director Mark Hiznay told The Associated Press news agency. “So that’s not necessarily related to the weapons, but the way the weapons are used.”

It’s everybody else’s money.

Not theirs. Just yours and mine.

From the article it is mostly ammo. I don’t see how politicians can skim 75% off the top when the package is ammo. What are they going to do with it?

A measly ten billion bought largess beyond Zelinsky’s wildest dreams. Perhaps now he can get out of those Castroite rags and dress like the mountebank he truly is.

Why not 400 Trillion? Ukraine’s border is worth every dime we own!!!

You have vastly larger domestic spending categories you can look at. I don’t know why you guys obssess so much over a minor expense in the context of the cosmically overgrown federal system.

Two things. First, I’m not “you guys”. I’m an individual. Second, I completely agree with your comment about the domestic categories, but they are not the subject of this thread. I’m not going to complain about welfare spending in a Ukraine thread. One thing at a time.

Yes it’s called banking military aid package money.

Ukraine banks are fat and happy doing better then ours.
