Biden Rushes Almost Billion to Ukraine

[num123]

They could've just not paid for the weapons and actually cut back on the military funding and actually invest in their country...muthafukkas are reading at a 3rd grade level as adults in this country...

Yes, lets cut the money for the weapons we sent them..... oh snap, we already paid for them long before the war. Not to mention all of the new military weapon expenditures are for domestic manufacturing, which people are being employed here making weapons and ammo for Ukraine:

Also i must mention that this is coming from someone that thinks the defense budget should be cut and money spent on other things, but given where we are as an electorate i do not see it happening.

Next time don't spend money on weapons...spend it on your people

 

[Still Benefited]

Last time i looked, the creator of this thread linked an article showing weapons, WEAPONS, were being sent and not money. Yes, the U.S. and other countries have been sending economic aid as well, which should be a given since Russia has been targeting Ukraine with weapons that has damaged their economic situation, directly and indirectly.

We are supporting them during their war with a country that we are aligned against. Where or what country do you think a large part of the defense budget has been spent to potentially combat, for around 80 years? Even if you do not give a shyt about Ukraine, being able to damage an country we have been against for almost a century that actively interferes with our internal politics is a win.

Sounds like a waste of money for 80 years. Why would any of us care if Russia is "damaged". Because truthfully it just means Russian civillians lives are more miserable. Do you think Putin is missing any meals?


And if he is able to be taken down by Ukraine that 80 years has definitely been a waste,because he couldve been taken down by America in the course of a summer if he was really an enemy.


Far as I know Ukraine and Russia(the 2 most corrupt countries in Europe) orchestrated a fake war to steal money and weapons from America. Maybe even some of these weapons makers and govt officials are getting money on the back end. Do i believe this is the case? No. Would i be suprised if Russia and Ukraine announced a new union between the two? Not at all.


We dont know anything about any of that. Lets stick to the facts that we know we not getting a damn thing. Lets talk about how damaging black people has damaged this country. Can you think of reasons we should get reperations like you just came up with reasons Ukraine should get money? Im sure you can,and they would be better reasons. That Ukraine shyt sounds light compared to our history

Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say the United States is providing too much support to Ukraine (42% vs. 13%).

The degree of bipartisan overall sympathy with Ukraine that encompasses majorities of Republicans and Democrats is striking.

Hmmm . . . a lot of % but not actual numbers. Judging by the election results the Republican view won out at the federal level.

Honestly no. They have nothing the group wants. Europeans need to back them up and finish this or they've essentially got a new enemy to watch

There has been so much talk about whether Zelensky will agree to a deal, when I think the real issue is Putin agreeing to one. The deal would involve keeping what he already has. He could look at that like "what's my incentive? I can keep what I already have? Nah, I need more." And he could look at the situation like "in about 7 weeks, Ukraine is cut off from it's biggest supplier of weapons. We are already winning, why would we stop now that the enemy is about to get significantly weaker?"

trump already had 4 years to stop all of this

why are you treating trump like he is an unknown quantity when we bore eye witness to his handy work the first time.

 

[bnew]

Literally nothing has been down the last couple months besides ship money to these clowns and pardoning his family. Absolutely wild

The Biden administration says it's sending Ukraine another $725 million in weapons from its stockpiles, including missiles, drones and anti-personnel landmines, amid fears the incoming Trump administration could cut off military support to Kyiv. The announcement came as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz traveled to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Scholz vowed to supply some $680 million in new military aid.

they are being sent decades old surplus equipment that they will have to payback when the war ends, the money was spent decades ago and instead of old stuff being decommissioned it's being used against americas adversary while we incur no loss of life or damage to property on our end.

Guys, they're never gonna cut military spending

Military is who they bully the world

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

What would have happened if he offered to cut America a stimulus check?

For real this man might ACTUALLY have totally lost it now. He might have been able to energize democratic support for mid terms if he did something---anything major to try and help poor people who are about to suffer from a Trump presidency.

I swear, letting billionaires do whatever they want seems to be the one thing that the majority of politicians on both party can agree on.

China has capitalism with Chinese characteristics. They've taken what doesn't work out of capitalism and are slowly trying to take out the things that don't work out of communism. They have an entire road map:

Five-year plans of China - Wikipedia

What the fukk do we have? Giving money to Ukraine while kids fukking starve here? What kind of country is America supposed to be in 5 years? Well for conservatives it's the restoration of the oligarchy this country started at, with full class and race system back in place.

For the democrats in this country What's the vision for America in the next 5 years? Still continuing to debate amongst themselves and trying to " how dare you, sir!" Their republican opponents who DO NOT care about the rules to death?

We got world leaders who read history, science, economics, philosophy and do their absolute best to stay informed of the context of everything they're doing. They project visions into the future based off historical patterns and learning the mistakes of others.

And then there's us. Apparently this shyt is the best America can do.

What is stopping America from ACTUALLY BEING great for EVERYONE? Poorly restrained capitalism and bigotry.

fukking unbelievable

Dumbfukk should be helping out citizens as well if you’re gonna give out to other countries. This is why nobody voted. You give nobody anything to look forward to.
