1ºJohn Caleb Collins a lot of this money that's going to these other countries is being borrowed from other countries. The damn interest on what they're paying back is over a million dollars a month. Somebody can't budget money and it's time a stop gets put to it. It's bad enough our oil reserve is already drained because of Joe Biden and the Pentagon is short on weapons and are complaining that there's no money in the budget to buy new ones. We are the weakest country right now and if we get attacked, we are screwed. Then you can worry about dead Americans because there will be many. Many of us will be lucky if we even have a pot to piss in at that point. Wake up. You're not saving the country for future Generations, you're helping destroy it.
2ºAnd he's right! Sensible (if they still exist) Republican Senators crafted a Bill on border security that was so tough it made Democrats wince, but still vote for it, was effectively vetoed purely for political gain by Donald Trump. That Bill included the support for Israel and Ukraine. Don't let anyone tell you its Biden's fault, its Trump's! After WW2 America spent billions to help rebuild Europe/Germany. The only Country it demanded its money back from? The UK! And we paid it off through years of added austerity while France, who let's face it, capitulated in 1940 was left unscathed. European NATO nations should pay their 2% of GDP, that Trump's right on, but dont make the only country actually fighting Putin pay for it!
3ºStephen Michael did I say interference? Where? Do you think it's ok for a POTUS candidate to invite foreign interference into our elections? 45 did that twice. The 1st time worked and got him elected with Russian cyberattacks and propaganda, plus his campaign was found GUILTY of sharing internal polling data with Russia so they knew who to target on social media with disinformation and lies about emails. The 2nd time got him impeached. GOP corruptly failed to uphold their oaths to protect and defend our constitution from a clear domestic enemy, twice.
He should have been removed immediately, arrested, charged, and punished accordingly.
Silence is complicity. They all need to be charged with seditious conspiracy, at least.
4ºCory Griffiths Cory Griffiths You miss the point. The US, right or wrong, made a promise to allies and broke it. Disgraceful. I'm not a Democrat but this was because of the Republicans who had joined in on the promise.
You are right about the F-16. Too much caution of escalation I suppose.
Personally I think the war might have been avoidable with diplomatic effort and agreement to set up a buffer state. It's a pity Trump who was not warlike could not articulate a clear foreign policy. All he said was "I don't know why Putin would lie to me" ( despite intelligence agencies advice) all while Putin was already waging war in the Donbas.
I have an idea of what that policy could have been, have you?
5ºJohn Caleb Collins get real lady. We abandon them? Or do we give BILLIONS? Are you freaking kidding me? I have an idea, why don't you go and fight for them? You want to give them money so damn bad. Go fight for your cause. Or would you rather sit in your glass house? Y'all make me sick. Homeless vets dying as we speak, millions of illegals flooding the country and y'all worried about Ukraine. Do you not understand how fn backwards that is? You know why all these other so called allies aren't giving away money? 1st, they don't have it to give and 2nd, they take care of their own before anyone else. And the Dems stood toe to toe with Russia? So the Republican presidents allowed them to invade Ukraine? Hahahahaha. This is on sleepy Joe.
6ºRichard Starr . Maybe conservative Americans just don’t realize it’s the same enemy?
Iran supports Hamas, among many other terrorist organizations. Putin supports Iran. Putin and The Saudi Crown Prince are good buddies. You remember The Crown Prince? The guy that gave Ivanka Trump two billion bucks? The guy who orchestrated 911 with Osama Bin Laden? Yeah, that guy.
Any fool that can’t see we need to support both Israel and Ukraine equally and simultaneously, needs to rethink. Ukraine and Israel are as of this moment, best friends. They will be relying on each other’s survival. They will be having a lot of open communication with each other.
All Ukraine resources, The land of Ukraine, the people of Ukraine, the infrastructure of Ukraine, the Ukrainian sea ports, the raw materials, and the farms, all falls to Putin if we don’t support Ukraine. And Putin will use those resources to launch his war on Israel. Is that what you want?
7ºWhy hasn't the US tried to talk both sides into a cease fire ?.why hasn't the US stepped into the Israeli meat grinder and forced a ceasefire ?
The only thing we are capable of is sending tens , and soon to be hundreds of billions of dollars to fund corrupt governments , bankroll foreign politicians and oligarchs and send weapons and ammunition to those countries ? Weapons which many of may very well be used on American soldiers .
The US used to be the world's peacemaker , now , we are more like a cartel selling death and destruction .
8ºTom Way I understand what you are saying. It all makes perfect sense, but why has Biden not put in this much effort into our border. We are losing countless AMERICAN lives from the drugs and violence they are committing when they get here, are we not worried about those Americans? I’m not dumb but it seems kind of odd to me. It’s odd to me that bidens son has ties to Ukraine and we seem to be the only ones footing the most part of the bill to fix it. We can’t even have help at the border without democrats wanting to tie in several billions more to Ukraine. You nor I know why Russia wants Ukraine. I do know what puttin said about why he wanted it, but again that could be a complete lie. I’m the end it’s all a lie. They are going to tax us and do what’s best for there pockets. There is nothing wrong with me I just realize that everything is a lie.
9ºIt is Biden’s fault. Senate bill allows up to 5,000 PER DAY illegal immigrants not counting got-a-ways we know of (about 500,000 per year), unaccompanied minors (over 7,000 per month), and illegal immigrants going to legal ports of entry. This bill lets in well over which 1.8 million illegal immigrants per year which the American taxpayer pays for. None vetted or vaccinated. THIS IS NOT BORDER SECURITY! Combine house bill HR-2 which allows ZERO illegal immigrant crossings which is real border security and add funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, etc. Require them to apply for asylum in their country or the first country they come to as existing law state. They don’t enter this country until their asylum claim is approved. That way the American taxpayer doesn’t have to foot the bill for housing, feeding, clothing, medical, schooling, and transporting them across the country. We spend over $185 BILLION on illegal immigrants each year. We can take care of American homeless with that money. Biden needs to act.
10ºPiano Muslims did not kill anyone, but your Nazi rulers are the ones who kill our sons. We see your accusations always being attached to Muslims, but there is no evidence, or they are provoked by insulting them and their religion, and then they describe them as terrorists. As for Russia, it has the right to defend its security against the Western Nazis, knowing that Russia did not commit genocide and did not bomb hospitals like American and Israeli terrorists. And if there is bombing against hospitals in Russian territories occupied by the Nazis, I am against it, but hospitals Markets and schools should be safe areas, not like what criminals do against Gaza's residents.
