Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday claimed American taxpayers have a “moral duty” to defend Ukraine’s eastern border from invasion by giving aid to the nation.
In a New York Times op-ed published while the secretary visited the nation, Yellen said the American support “is motivated, first and foremost, by a moral duty to come to the aid of a people under attack.”
American lawmakers have so far earmarked more than $110 billion of taxpayer funds to defend the border against a Russian invasion.

What about the invasion on our southern border? You stupid BEEP
To: ChicagoConservative27
The Treasury Secretary should address the moral responsibility of defending our own borders.
About $200 Billion would be a good start.

For the amount of money we have sent to the Ukraine, we could have given every woman that gave birth last year $30,000.
Ukraine aid = 112 billion
Births per year USA = 3.7 million
112 billion divided by 3.7 million = $30,270.27

I read somewhere this morning that giving them money and military aid iOS illegal since Ukraine is not part of of the UN?

Good thing we have a Republican house to speak up for us. These clowns sicken me. That old bag grifter should be bombed in Ukraine.

We and Russia did promise to protect Ukraine in return for Ukraine turning over their nuclear weapons to Russia.

A duty? No. No, we don’t have a duty to protect Ukraine.
We have a duty to protect America.
Those two notions are NOT congruent in any way.
