SEN. MIKE LEE: The Firm™️ intends to force through the Ukraine aid portion of the supplemental aid package tomorrow

@BasedMikeLee

🚨 I have it on good authority that The Firm™️ intends to force through the Ukraine aid portion of the supplemental aid package (minus the border bill) tomorrow.

Do you want to give $60B to Ukraine, knowing that the entire budget of the U.S. Marine Corps in FY2023 was $53.8B?🚨

Unreal.

I wonder how many boo$ters are required, for that kind of “thinking”.

🙃

And how is that our problem financially?
We have no business being involved.
And our money has no business going to it.

Sure.
The military doesn’t need the funds, it’s not like it’s going to anything, right?
That’s a lame effort excuse mr “superior”.
And where’s the money your country is sending and does it outpace spending on your own national military?
No?
Didn’t think so.

They can accept several thousand Russians per day, border open, etc etc.
They can use the Lankford border bill as a framework.

The money shouldn’t be going at all.
Look at our border, we should be tending here instead.
And for our investment we sure are not getting good returns.

I remember during the Trump administration when the Democrats screamed and yelled “where is the money coming from” for everything that Trump wanted to get. Of course the propaganda media went along with the screaming and yelling Dems.

Time to audit all these assholes.

How much money is being kicked back to them from Ukraine?

Thats right, the US military has no significant tasks in the US proper (unless we are talking about a Civil War). And its very unlikely to have such problems in this hemisphere.

So what is the US military for? Sincere question. I would like to see your answer.

Under these circumstances, its obvious that its structure is designed with the assumption that its principal tasks are to fight wars the next ocean over, or further.

You dont need that kind of money for the border. That is a policy question. If the administration changes its mind on that, your problem will be solved overnight. Thats what this fight is about.

Screw Lee and the horse he rode in on.
Not a penny for the Ukes....
Vacate Johnson if he goes along with this.

We don’t?
So now you are an expert on what is needed for our border all the way from Spain?
My, how arrogant.

Is the Spanish military supposed to be patrolling the borders here in the US.
Honest hypothetical there, are they?

And while we’re at it, a quick reminder of your superiority complex for all to see.

You dont need thousands of tanks and artillery pieces, aircraft carriers and fighter bombers. What do you expect to do, slaughter hundreds of thousands of Central American peasants?

Don’t be absurd. Think a little.

The Spanish military patrols its own border with Morrocco, with paramilitary troops - the Guardia Civil (like the French Gendarmes).

I have lived and worked in the US for almost 40 years. I worked on (as a mechanical engineer, consulting on metrology) some of the weapons systems you seem to want to slaughter civilians with.

You are not being serious, or you seem hysterical. Calm down and think.

“your superiority complex”

Speaking with people like you, I can draw no other conclusions. I just lay out the facts. It seems you cannot discuss things in a reasonable, informed manner.

In what way am I misunderstanding you?
