Since March, according to the DoD as quoted this morning by Fox & Friends First. And that’s just what they’ve acknowledged.

That’s almost $2B a week, every week.

That’s almost $300M a day, every day.

I would LOVE to know just how much actually gets spent to defend Ukraine and how much ends up in the pockets of DC swamp rats.

Conservatives are cool with this tho. Russia always bad. Very bad. America always good, if you ignore the evil we've seen the last two years.

Our own government has lied about covid and the vaccine, Suppressed free speech, imprisoned without trial, weakened the family unit, promotes sterilzation and mutilation of youth, and promoted color revolutions all over the globe, including here at home. Would not be suprised if we funded isis as well, up until Trump. Was kinda strange how quickly isis died down.

What do we have to show for it?

Why are no other countries concerned about Ukraine and giving them tens of billions of dollars ?

If Ukraine was so vital to humanity, everyone else should be pitching in, but everyone decided to let America be the sucker and fund everything .

And yet somehow, we can't trace how its spent.

And if a President wants to investigate how it's spent, he will be impeached.

I wish our politicians care half as much about our borders as they do Ukraines.

Can Texas identify as Ukrainian?

We shouls have given them twice as much. (And so should others like the Europeans although the Baltics, Poland, Czechs, Finns have given a lot. Portugal? Not so much.).

Their GDP has been bouncing around $130B/yr.

So we’re basically giving them a year of GDP.

Good thing my family and most American families are living paycheck to paycheck, especially during this recession.

The aid is essential for our own protection. Putin will eventually take over Europe and then invade the U.S.
He plans on sending his navy up the Gulf and hitting the beaches at New Iberia because he knows we shut down the Navy Air Base there in 1964 leaving it totally defenseless.

That 10% for The Big Guy must be adding up to a cash vault that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous.

Eastern Europe is giving their old upgraded Soviet arms to Ukraine and ordering American equipment as fast as they can. American arms have become very popular around the world, and the business income will dwarf that $70B (albeit, at tax payer's expense).

Enough to build a 20’ border wall and feed the entire US population with steak for a year +++
