Why are we taxpayers sending all of this money in defense of a country where gay marriage isn’t legal? Horrifically oppressive regime in Ukraine.

Can’t launder diplomacy.

Imagine that.

Rat declares Ukraine border is same as US border. Difference is Democrats and Uniparty GOP have self-interest in closing that border while allowing ours to be a sieve.
Banner day for Warmonger Inc. The Tug Chickenhawks cheer, of course.
Connolly responded to those complaints by noting that the “the Ukrainian-Russian border is our border” and is vital to U.S. national security.
“Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first,” the Virginia lawmaker said during his speech. “The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border! It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom loving people seeking our democratic way of life! Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes.

You’re painfully bad at this, Ernie.

So Ukraine is going to win now right?

That's questionable but you can be sure somebody will get a new yacht

Progress isn't always shown on the scoreboard

"Whatever it costs for as long as it takes" Brilliant US foreign policy that has worked so well since World War II. Uncle Sugar still got it going on.

I was in Maui the week before last for vacation. We typically stay in Kaanapali, so you drive through Lahaina to get to the resort. That town is basically leveled. Honestly parts of it looked bombed out. You could see where the fire came down the mountain and just destroyed everything in its path, so mck using the main retail district, unfortunately. The cannery mall is still there but you can’t even drive Front st south of that.
the fire obliterated everything. The homes that are left looked like they were hit with rockets. Just a really eerie scene, and incredibly sad, tbh.I’m glad those residents that lost everything in the world got 700.00 apiece from the federal government to put their lives back together while we send another 61b to be laundered in bumfuck Ukraine.
HI will still vote Joe because orange man sent mean tweets and isn’t on the pre-pubescent grade school tranny train.

I think the goal is to prolong it as long as possible. That only helps the grift. Tell me I'm wrong.

If people realized the inevitable outcome, they definetly wouldn’t support another dime.

Blah blah blah DeMoCRaCY! Blah blah reassemble the Soviet bloc. Blah blah blah dominoes. Blah blah blah Putin. Blah blah blah.
Pretty sure that’s the main propaganda points. -
The U.S. has given Ukraine as much money they have given to Israel since 1948.
-
We have provided the Iranians with far more funds since barry gave them the $100 plus billion then toss in the dementia patient's contributions than we have provided the Israelis.

Serious question. At what point does Russia decide this US proxy war shit crosses the line for Russia…There's a limit, right?
Dangerous game in my eyes.
I'm tired of seeing all this money leave our country. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the arguments but I don't think this is economically something that is sustainable - especially on multiple fronts.
No easy answers but the current approach ain't working.
Time to just get back to the rest of the world being scared as fuck of our president and what he may do.

Unconfirmed Reports are France sent troops into Ukraine this weekend.
Grab your ankles and cough if you’re under 25 years old -
I hope when this does escalate the Chickenhawks on this board volunteer as well as the families of every person in Congress who continue to vote to exterminate the lives of conscripted Ukrainians being forced to fight Biden’s war.

The Uniparty going against the will of the people. We all live under the thumb. This is no longer a democracy. We are ruled by people that are America last. Anyone with half a brain knows Russia has no intention of taking over Europe. All that money will be funneled back to Congress.

Great use of taxpayer money…
I remember a few weeks ago when some generals were fired. Now we know the “why.”
As Seymour Hersh recently reported, CIA Director Burns had to warn Zelensky to stop stealing so much money.The issue of corruption was directly raised with Zelensky in a meeting last January in Kiev with CIA Director William Burns.
His message to the Ukrainian president, I was told by an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the meeting, was out of a 1950s mob movie.
The senior generals and government officials in Kiev were angry at what they saw as Zelensky’s greed, so Burns told the Ukrainian president, because “he was taking a larger share of the skim money than was going to the generals.”
Burns also presented Zelensky with a list of thirty-five generals and senior officials whose corruption was known to the CIA and others in the American government.
Zelensky responded to the American pressure ten days later by publicly dismissing ten of the most ostentatious officials on the list and doing little else.
“The ten he got rid of were brazenly bragging about the money they had—driving around Kiev in their new Mercedes,” the intelligence official told me.
Zelensky’s half-hearted response and the White House’s lack of concern was seen, the intelligence official added, as another sign of a lack of leadership that is leading to a “total breakdown” of trust between the White House and some elements of the intelligence community.
