“One thing many critics of US aid to Ukraine don’t seem to understand is that most of the money actually gets spent in the United States, very often on improved equipment for our own armed forces.”

“This is happening because the United States typically supports Ukraine by donating older weapons from existing US stocks, and then using the authorized “Ukraine aid” funds to re-equip US troops with newer weapons to replace those older weapons they just gave away.

Quite literally, the roughly $140 billion the United States is spending on Ukraine through the war’s first three years is actually funding a major modernization drive for the US military.”

We spend a trillion a year on social security. Ukraine funding would not help much.

What about the trillions for the global warming scam? But it goes to the friends of the Demonrats. They hate us and want us dead. My brain-dead democrat friends have used the old “the Republicans want to take away our Social Security” campaign slogan (used every election cycle) but it is the Demonrats that will end Social Security.
