    I don’t know about you… But if my country were able to spend 75 billion dollars helping foreign countries, I’d sure hope they’d use some of it to solve problems here at home too…

      US gets to do very real long term damage to a hostile nation without risking any American lives? All while gaining battlefield knowledge and liquidating aging munitions? Sounds like a great investment to me.

          You spout a popular right wing talking point. It stems from the misinformed belief that governments don’t budget and everything is in one giant pot of money and that governments can only do one thing at a time.

          Countries don’t work this way. Your argument is meaningless and incorrect.

            Ah yes, affordable healthcare and living wages, classic right wing talking points.

          The funding for Ukraine is not the thing holding those things back. Republican regressive politicians are the thing holding those things back. We have plenty of money to do both.

    President Zelenskyy… if trump gets that close to russia, putin will put him on the western front.

    Success will surely come after that considering trump’s winning ability.
