I fully support the Ukrainian people. Putin is a thug. BUT, just because something is a good cause does not mean that money is being well spent. The US in on target to spend at least $100B in Ukraine in 2022. Is this BEST use of US funds. There are a lot of critical needs within the US. Maybe baby formula to poor families that are US tax paying citizens.Can anyone say that 99.99999% of this money is going to help the Ukrainian people. Can anyone guarantee that 0.00% of the money is not actually going to:
Liz Cheney or other ANY congressional campaign contributions or lobbying expenses?
To Joe, Hunter, Jill, Jim or any other Biden family member?
To US celebreties supporting Ukraine. Zalensky said after Bono sang that he wanted Lady Gaga. Why should US tax payers fund the Zalensky dream summer concert series?
Everyone supports the Ukrainian people
Everyone knows Putin is a thug.
Trump knew that too, but he viewed his job as trying to get along with Russia as that would be in our best National interest. He didn’t coddle Putin. He treated him like a business adversary.
As to this uncapped financial commitment, it’s absurd
But let’s not forget that it is among the most corrupt countries in the world .
We have our own problems that warrant financial commitments. Many .
The swamp in DC has this belief that there is this money tree from which to pick $$ without consequences.
I’m convinced that there is an ulterior motive behind the enormous effort by those in DC to pursue hostilities with Russia.
There is still the talk on virtually all the cable networks that Victory is in sight . That Putin will be defeated militarily. That the Donbas will be recaptured along with Crimea.
It’s unrealistic
I agree that Ukraine has to decide what the terms of settlement will be , but if we continue to say we will continue to fund the war , we encourage more death and destruction
Meanwhile the residents of Loundes county in Alabama don’t have sewers or septic tanks. Where’s their billions ?
