Go Brics!
Seems to me it’s a failed Russian policy.
As for the people that seem to look towards the defeat of Ukraine with glee, I think you are despicable. True moral midgets.
It’s a Slavic thing apparently. Read an article yesterday that one of Putin’s inner circle has skimmed BILLIONS from their defense budget.
Still, anyone voting for one single US dollar to be just given away to ANY foreign Nation... free, gratis, in exchange for nothing... Should be executed for treason.
Now... allowing our private companies to SELL things to Ukraine... Sure. Have Zelenskyy break out his American Express card and we can have DHL start delivering stuff next week.
And when the next Continuing Resolution comes to the table (and there will be one, because there is no such thing as a “budget” anymore) there will be another $100 billion taxpayer dollars shoved into that bottomless, corrupt sh**-hole.
And then another Continuing Resolution and another $100 billion taxpayer dollars.
I wouldn’t go so far as to wish our own demise or greater troubles on the horizon.
I agree that we set huge wheels in motion which will cause us grief for years to come.
Russia isn’t some punk we can push around like we do with others using our military might, political influence, and economic weight. They can push back, and are.
But you shouldn’t be happy about this!
This is a horrible and unnecessary mess. Yes (((we))) the Biden administration caused this. But celebrating things which hurt us isn’t how we should look at it either.
I used to think Ron Paul was a great American. Then my eyes were opened, and I now know that he has never been anything more than an ignorant nihilist.
But almost none of the money allocated goes to Ukraine. It goes to US based manufacturers of military equipment to buy new equipment that replaces the obsolete equipment and expired munitions being sent to Ukraine.
When an article starts out with a false premise there isn't much point in reading much more of it.
But thanks for sharing today's Russian propaganda talking point.
What about that burning Russian oil storage depot set on fire by one of those obsolete ATACMS missiles?
“The Great Ukraine Robbery”
lol.
This very thing could be said of the "Elite" Class in the USA during the 1850s and 1860s.
They had a system for moving money from the slave plantations into their own pockets.
What sent them to war was the cut off of that money, not any concern for the slaves.
We are still dealing with the corrupt Northeastern portion of the country using the Federal government to line their own pockets. It is the greatest threat we currently face, and it is exactly why they control the media.
btt
My disdain for the political elite grows every day
Thanks for posting this!
