There is no doubt that most of the US assistance to Afghanistan was probably stolen or went over to the Taliban. On top of that, billions’ worth of US war-fighting equipment was left in place and is now used by the Taliban.

—> If the Ukraine war ended tomorrow, the United States still would need to send hundreds of billions in aid to that country.

Germany won’t even spend 2% of their budget on NATO.

Let them pay for it all.

The insanity of the war mongering elitists in DC, writ large.

This idiocy will not stop until We, the People, stop it. But, I question if we have the will to do so...

Of course we will, right after the baseball season ends...

Oh wait, there's a preseason NFL game on.

Just because Zelinsky and his mob Gabe Joey 2 mil doesn’t mean we should enrich them by more fortunes.

Get rid of Biden. Fr

It’s financially intelligent to let Russia win. Let them pay for Ukraine. There is no sound reason for the USA to be involved. There is no Democracy to preserve, and Ukrainians will have the same amount of personal and politicalfreedom regardless of the outcome of this war.

The sooner it’s over, the sooner people stop dying.

No. Not a dime. We are broke and do not have any money to spend. Anyways, and this should make Zeepers happy and concurrently prove I am not some Putin stooge: Russia broke it. Russia needs to pay for it.

I propose that the money only come out of any Federal government budget surpluses.

They’re paying for good job producing American energy. Would you rather they Make Russia Great Again?

Nothing says I’m a grown man more than getting drunk, ignoring your family, and wearing a $100 shirt with some out of town negro’s name on your back.

Cuck retards.

The Americans in Texas with good paying jobs exporting American energy to Europe are certainly not broke. Would you prefer those good jobs go to Russia?

Larry Fink has already been to Ukraine to meet with Zelensky about opening a bank there for rebuilding.
If you can’t trust those two, who can you trust?…

Not at all. Kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe brings tremendous economic benefits to Americans and the US economy. It should be an easy question: do you prefer those good American jobs go to Russia instead?
