“How about 40 billion to complete the border wall?”
How about 20 Billion Dollars? You can make a very good wall for 20 Billion Dollars.
We are fumbling our way towards economic collapse and I get the strong impression this is actually the plan, then in the chaos bound to follow, martial law and all sorts of other nasty things. I hope enough people wake up before November to prevent this from continuing. Factor in more election fraud and even that might not be good enough.
I sympathize with the people of Ukraine but their government seems oblivious to reality in terms of perhaps accepting a reasonable compromise and end to this crisis, maybe we should make that a pre-condition of significant financial aid and in any case 40 billion seems excessive. Russia should be paying, and if not voluntarily, then through tariffs and confiscations. This is their fault and they seem to have no sense of responsibility, something that the U.S. government ignores preferring to prattle on about impossible outcomes like trials for war crimes. Who is going to arrest the guilty parties?
This whole thing as somebody said earlier smells like a cover up of some other agenda and the money is going to bounce off walls and into pockets sure as night turns to day.
