Rep. Matt Gaetz, the firebrand House Republican from Florida, said as much in a July 1 exchange with Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.). Answering a Tweet from Gallego that said “Fact is if the Republicans take over the House in 2022 US support to Ukraine will come to a halt,” Gaetz replied, “Ruben is correct.”
At a recent rally in Anchorage, Alaska, Trump riffed on the cost so far, misstating the amount spent.
“Like with Ukraine, we put up $60 billion and Europe put up $5, 6 [billion]? OK?” he said, drawing boos from the crowd. (Through early July, Congress has authorized about $54 billion for assistance not only to Ukraine, but to neighboring countries as well in response to the Russian invasion. )
And Trump is by no means alone among Republicans. On the last aid package, 11 GOP senators voted against more money, including Kentucky’s Rand Paul.
“We don’t have any money for anyone,” he told HuffPost. “I mean, we’re a trillion dollars in the hole every year. So any money that is allocated to send to a foreign country has to be borrowed first from another foreign country.”

Grifters gonna grift.
Ukraine vs Russia is all about $$$
Which country can grab the most from the USA.
begin?
They should never have sent a penny. Build our border GRRRR
Good, 60 billion would have been a good down payment on a new refining plant.
Good. If the Ukrainians want our weapons they can pay cash for them.
L
Listen. The pockets of our ENEMIES, Foreign AND Domestic, ain’t gonna line themselves!
Good.
“60 billion would have been a good down payment on a new refining plant.”
60 billion would have completed Trump’s wall and added another inside the first with money left over.
Bush League Republicans will still want to keep dumping money into Ukraine.
I think a lot of us are asking ourselves this question: Were we sold a bill of goods on Ukraine?
Besides Trump only 11 Republicans are against this incredibly reckless spending? We sure have a lot of cleaning up to do within our own party.
So, Gaetz is a dirty RuZZian too, eh? They’re everywhere!! What’s a neocon to do?
.
The Republican Leadership wants to send a couple Trillion to Ukraine.
Listen to Mitch and Lindsey G. speak for 2 minutes, and you’ll see they’re having the Time of their Life (que the music from Dirty Dancing).
How can anyone be against helping Ukraine go MORE homo and greener?
“Were we sold a bill of goods on Ukraine?”
Yes we were, it’s been nothing but endless propaganda from the get go.
Gee, whiz. Souring. Souring. Souring.
Any dork could see that we send $40 billion to them, no oversight, no strings, that it is going to disappear into the pockets of corrupt oligarchs looking to buy an expensive house up the street in Switzerland from Soros.
What a waste. But hey...they are “souring” on it.
Isn’t that nice?
If they sign a pledge to do the bathtub/wrist thing if elected then they’ll get my vote.
Hey...I know it's tough, but...the food bowl isn't going to fill itself!"
