I’d be for helping out Ukraine for the reasons I’ve previously stated, but this is way, way overboard and out of proportion. Good for Rand Paul.
As far as I know nothing is stopping you from either donating to funds that help Ukraine or directly paying Ukraine or actually going over there to fight for Ukraine. What should be unacceptable with no declaration of war by our legistators, is stealing money from citizens to pay Ukraine. I would have not issue with “leaders” setting up private funds to make it easier to citizens to donate or ways to participate.
