re: What if we sent 13 billion dollars to Florida next week instead of Ukraine? Would it help?

Fine. There’s probably billions on Ukraine that is behind a wall of top secret classification that we’ll never know….like a shite ton of foreign policy expenditures since at least the start of the Cold War.
So like maybe that’s not the best thing
What can you do when money has exchanged hands to guarantee that nothing gets wasted? You can put in safeguards but it’s never a guarantee.
I’m not defending the waste. But if the Ukraine aid is troubling you, it would at least be intellectually consistent to say no foreign policy spending whatsoever. Is that the position of people like OML?

Would the Ukraine’s version of Ferdinand Marcos still be able to transfer his share to swiss bank account to avoid turning over what he has on Hunter and still have some Hollywood narcissists come kiss his arse?

Bottom line is that most of y’all can’t fathom how much money we have. We could give that much to Florida but they won’t need that much.

You should see the $13 billion we gave Europe…in 1948 dollars.
Your increasingly stupid takes in this thread are definitely amusing.

Does truth bother you much or do you prefer to hide from it and do nothing?

The people of Florida are going to wilt and die because of the bidens and clintons. This is why we should all be supporting Putin. He is trying to save us all from the globalist scum and is trying to reinstate Trump who is the only person capable of saving the world
Please take politics out of the issue for a second (insanely difficult here, but lets try this one time).
Simple question. Is it not more sensible to utilize that pile of tax payer money (or at least the majority of it) for Florida and not Ukraine?

Why are we assuming that the pile of cash has to have mutually exclusive alternative destinations?
What if we’re better off helping Florida AND Ukraine?

SWLA still hasn't received federal aid at levels proportional to what other areas were given following major hurricane strikes.

Because the pile of cash is not infinite. Again, its a simple question. Is it more sensible to utilize THAT finite pile of cash in Florida or Ukraine?

Totally ungermane to the question. But, lets assume the answer is Yes we are better off in helping both, then sure, why not.

The people that rule us care more about maintaining the Global American Empire than they do about the homeland.

This is what you get when your entire meaning in life is derived from sports and a message board

Living life constantly searching for the "instead" has to be exhausting and just filled with a never ending unhappiness. Live life searching for the "and" so you can find happiness and rest.

Im not sure what $13 billion in already produced, slightly outdated military tech is gonna do to help the victims of flooding, could you give me an idea?
Or were you under the assumption we were giving ukraine billions in straight cash money?
Florida will be getting a lot of aid and like all federal aid 90% of it will end up in whoever can afford to hire the best accountants bank accounts.

If it doesn't help democrats get elected or get more rich, it isn't a valuable investment. They will resent every dollar they have to send to Americans that won't vote for them.

I’m pretty happy “and” I want my tax dollars to help my fellow Americans “instead” of something else.

Next week? Next week unless it's used for cleanup, would be wasted. They will need it for rebuilding several weeks out.
