Republican Senator Mitt Romney gave a big shout out to the Biden Administration Friday, posting a video in which he claims that sending billions in taxpayer dollars to Ukraine is “the best national defense spending I think we’ve ever done.”
While the economy at home is dismal, Romney claimed that a “very small amount” of money that the U.S. is sending to Ukraine, more than $200 billion and counting, is benefitting all Americans.

“The single most important thing we can do to strengthen ourselves relative to China is to see Russia defeated in Ukraine. Because they are allies, and Russia being weakened weakens their ally, China,” Romney said.
“Being able to take an amount which equals what about 5 percent of our military budget, but actually less than 5 percent of our military budget each year to help the Ukrainians, is about about the best national defense spending I think we’ve ever done,” Romney claimed.
He added “We’re losing no lives in Ukraine,” while not mentioning the hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians.
He continued, “the Ukrainians are fighting heroically against Russia that has 1,5000 nuclear weapons aimed at us. It’s like, so, we’re diminishing and devastating the Russian military for a very small amount of money relative to what we spend on the rest of defense.”
“It is very much in America’s national interest in our national interest to help Ukraine. And the best thing we can do for America is to see people who have nuclear weapons and that is getting weaker,” Romney concluded.
Residents of the devastated Lahaina inMaui sure don’t think that sending money to Ukraine is the best form of national defense spending:

Wasn’t his son or nephew involved with Burisma too?
We spend $1 trillion a year to protect ourselves mostly from Russian and China.
For $50 billion most of the Russian Army has ceased to exist.
Romney isn’t right about much, but he is good at counting dollar.
I think so.
weakening one of America’s most malicious enemies, while NO Americans are dying in the process ...
what’s not to love??
:)
Romney = 💩
His magic underwear told him so.......................
Fourteen million Ukrainians have fled the war-torn country. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men have died in the fight.
That is “good news” to Romney?
That is money “well spent?”
We have spent over 100 billion dollars, our defense budget is about 850 billion, fighting a proxy war with Russia which didn’t want biological warfare labs next to their country plus all the ukrainians being killed and maimed is not”worth it”
Mitt talks like he is on medical marijuana. I hope he’s alright.
Pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining does not endear yourself to me Milt.
yeah let’s fight a proxy war with Russia until they realize WE are the actual enemy and decide to use their last resort- nukes.
smart!
Lol. That is ludicrous.
BTW, I am a Nigerian prince who needs your help. May I call you for help getting my money out of Nigeria? I will share half my wealth with you for your assistance.
Dirty, stinking Canucks that want to bleed America white?
“ For $50 billion most of the Russian Army has ceased to exist.”
I think you mean that the Ukrainian Army has mostly ceased to exist, don’t you?
Russia has not attacked the USA.
Russia is NOT a malicious enemy of the PEOPLE of the USA.
Russia is the enemy of globalist warmongers in charge in Washington DC because Russia wants to remain a sovereign nation and not be plundered by international corporate robber barons.
Remember, don't use starch in Mitt's magic underwear.
The FR war whores are in agreement with Mitt as well.
You don’t see any serious regret from the Ukrainians do you? They seem to value their freedom. Some people here have forgotten this virtue. They know the Russians and their ways better than most people on this site.
How can someone who is both so dim witted and so ignorant as Romney get elected to national office? Not only is he clueless, but he’s too dumb to realize he’s dumb. I know he’s one of many like the Cortez nitwit and her ilk, but it nevertheless puzzles me. All I can figure is that voters are dumb as s**t to elect people like these.
