White House warns Congress the US is out of money, nearly out of time to avoid ‘kneecap’ to Ukraine
NY Post ^ | 12/04/2023 | AP

Posted on 12/04/2023 6:56:03 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Biden administration on Monday sent Congress an urgent warning about the need to approve tens of billions of dollars in military and economic assistance to Ukraine, saying Kyiv’s war effort to defend itself from Russia’s invasion may grind to a halt without it.

In a letter to House and Senate leaders and also released publicly, Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young warned the US will run out of funding to send weapons and assistance to Ukraine by the end of the year, saying that would “kneecap” Ukraine on the battlefield.

She added that the US already has run out of money that it has used to prop up Ukraine’s economy, and “if Ukraine’s economy collapses, they will not be able to keep fighting, full stop.”

Right, so we should just send tons of heavy weapons to Ukraine. Okay

That’s not what I said and you know it. Why do you zeepers do that? It’s so stupid.

This is why we have contempt for you people. And it’s why we don’t take you seriously. You get mad when we laugh at you but you’re dishonest, disingenuous and you all operate out of the same crooked playbook.

Just stop. You’re a joke. 🤡

So you believe that letting the Russia-Iran-Hamas undermine Israel/Ukraine UNHINDERED is a good thing?
I presume then that you are also pushing for the “defund the police” movement?

We know you want to keep the killing going and you ridicule anybody who finds that abhorrent. I don’t understand grisly, bloodthirst like that and I thank God I don’t.

Right, so Reagan who believed in supporting freedom fighters around the world would be classified by you as being grisly and bloodthirsty. Okay

It was not an overthrow.
The Maidan Revolution simply ousted out of Ukraine a corrupt NeoSoviet Pro-Kermlin puppet working for Russia.

Its called FREEDOM.

“Putin government will not fall no matter how many Russian casualties? Really? So then why hasn’t he called for mass conscription?”

More nonsense. He doesn’t need conscription. Russia is holding on to the bits they want without mobilizing the entire country. Also, he’s one guy. Even if Putin is gone, Russia will still be there. Save your Ukraine cheerleading for someone else.

Oh, stop with your stupid twisting of words. Stop with your “So…” crap. Whenever a zeeper starts a sentence with “So…,” it’s a given that it will be followed by a bunch of twisted, gaslighting obfuscation.

Stop putting your very stupid words in my mouth.

You zeepers all do this. You’re a dishonest lot, just like your scumbag grifter leader, Zelensky.

No, we just gave the Russians a reason to improve their army and navy and what weapons work and what weapons do not. Now the Russian army is much better than it was two years ago. They are battle tested. I hope we have learned a few things. drones are the future of war and warships, Tanks are a relic of the past. All we have done is take out a whole generation of Ukrainian Men. Mr. Zelenskyy will meet a terrible fate at the hands of his own people.

Here is the world’s number one warmonger Putin telling a little boy that Russia’s borders are... limitless...
In a nutshell he explained Russia’s entire aggressive policy of invasions and for-ever-wars... with a single word.

My point is that I don’t want any more of my country’s tax dollars going to a known money-laundering operation. *That* is my point.

You guys can petition your countries’ leadership to send money to Zelensky, but keep your mitts off of my wallet.

No more US money to Ukraine.

I don’t care about propagandic videos of Putin and all of this other obfuscation. Putin and Russia can’t even smack Ukraine down. Why do you worry about him taking over Europe?

If you Europeans are worried about that, then have your leadership address it. We here in the U.S. have our own issues.

Yes, these Zeepers are all alike and that is their common talking point. A proxy war, IOW we’re kinda/kinda not at war with Russia depending on which side of the argument they want right now. They flip interchangeably.

Try to ax them when their Proxy War was declared, and they attack you back without giving a straight answer, which is the one thing they know that they can’t afford to do.

I suspect that they’re mixed up with Vindman.

F them all, quite frankly.

There’s trillions out there for everyone.
