President Trump approved a $39 million sale of anti-tank weapons. He didn't send billions of unaccounted-for tax dollars to pay Ukraine's government employees their salaries, or pensions. If you're going to make a claim, at least get it right.
You'll never get me to change my mind regarding the waste of tax payer dollars fighting proxy wars against Russia, China or Iran.
We've been engaged in proxy wars since The Korean War. This country is not equipped, nor could it fight and supply a prolonged war against Russia, China, or Iran...or all three together. What we did in WWII with the production of war machinery could never be reproduced to that level in this country today. Russia is already far ahead of us when it comes to the production of war machinery.
We have a corrupt and compromised government, a weakened economy, a weakened gas reserve, a weakened infrastructure, a weakened energy grid, a weakened military and a weakened defense inventory. We can't even defend our own borders, so we are engaged in an ongoing war within our own country against illegals who are the beneficiaries of even more of our hard earned tax dollars. And we're fighting a war for our Constitutional rights every day, right here.
Pardon me, but I'd prefer fighting to save the Republic I live in first, rather than blowing a wad on some spit of land 5,000 miles away that is of no national security interest to our survival. I don't give a crap about Russia or Taiwan. I do care about Israel, but I don't believe we should be sending money or troops to any foreign country, not when our own country is deeply in debt, and people here are struggling to put food on the table. No one should be in the predicament that the only way to survive paycheck to paycheck, is to rely on credit cards to make ends meet.
Who from Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, or any of the other countries we send money to, or the NATO members countries...which of them would come here to fight if we were attacked? And don't say it could never happen. Germany won't even put up the 2% that NATO requires for their own defense. If NATO can't get member nations to do even that, then what good are they to us or any of the other member nations for that matter?
What makes you a war monger is that you support sending unaccounted-for money to Ukraine to fight this proxy war with Russia. You are supporting other war mongers like Lindsey Graham, and Joe Biden, as well as all of the investors in the military industrial complex, not only here, but in Ukraine, and Russia, and other countries because foreign oligarchs that invest in the military industrial complex are getting richer too, as long as this war continues. I also find it hard to believe that someone would support the foreign policies of a political usurper who left billions of dollars in military equipment in Afghanistan, and killed 13 U.S. Marines to boot.

Answer:
WE didn’t start those proxy wars you are talking about. The Russia-Hamas-Iran-China-North Korea Alliance started the proxy war against the USA. Thus, we can’t ignore it, it’s technically and politically impossible to do so.
Action means Reaction.
If Antifa gangs regularly attack your neighbors homes, committing arson, rape, plundering and killing many of them... as a Christian do you just sit by in your living-room reading a book while avoiding to call the police (preserving the police budget) and praying that Antifa won’t be reaching your own home...?
According to your logic, as long they don’t reach YOUR house... who cares about what Antifa does to the neighbors...
Trump did in fact initiate the whole process of helping Ukraine with lethal weapons. He REVERSED the previous Obama policies which refused to send ANY weapons at all to Ukraine. Trump often denounced those Obama policies, criticizing him for only sending “pillows and blankets”.
So when it comes to Ukraine, you are clearly supporting the Obama philosophy.
I and supporting the Trump philosophy.
Remember this:
Trump had a long conversation with Mike Johnson days before the 90 billions dollar aid for Israel/Ukraine/Taiwan/ was approved. It happened at Mar-a-Lago.
Johnson got Trump’s go ahead to make this budget go through.
Trump approved those +90 billions.
