Can someone tell me why conservatives are so strongly opposed to Ukraine aid? I'm just baffled by this. Do you guys really have no pity at all for Ukraine? Note that I'm not some bleeding heart liberal, I am a conservative too but like, come on Ukraine is fighting for it's survival!

It's complex, but there are a handful of thoughts that play into my lack of support for Ukraine. I do have plenty of sympathy for the people there and do wish they weren't going through what they are, but America does not have the money to support an issue that is not our issue while simultaneously ignoring our own issues here at home.

If we can just pile on billions of more debt to launder money into Ukranian corruption, why can't Ukraine just take on the debt themselves?

I could at least entertain Trump's proposal that aid be provided in the form of a loan that everyone knows the next liberal administration would just forgive anyway after the ext whoever administration allows forbearance
