Think about that.

Ukraine has no way of winning or repelling Russia out of its territory.


Once it’s declared a lost cause and probably after another $100 b poured in, the US will have nothing to show for it.


Absolutely nothing.


Truly remarkable.


Now of course certain political families on the grift will have something to show for it, but the US as a whole will not

This is why I am rooting for Putin to take over the entirety of Ukraine... He can rebuild it...

OK... Let me break this down for you.

The US isn't transferring all cash. It's giving Ukraine our oldest weapons systems and using the funding to buy newer weapon systems for the US military that's why it is done under the military budget.

We will have a bunch of new kick arse weaponry to show for it, made in America.

I have no problem with giving them our cluster munitions which we can’t use. Giving tanks/apcs made in the 80/90s and other equipment and munitions that are past our useful life that have to be destroyed or stored at a cost.

I am against sending cash.

But most of what has been sent so far is equipment and munitions.

Dude we had 100s of billions of munitions laying around we were going to destroy. It's totally true, but don't ask why we would have 100s of billions of munitions laying around because then you might think our military is corrupt/bloated or lying, because like I said it's totally true and it was all free!

We also got to see how all the munitions we were going to throw away work against an enemy that's looking to annex its former territory not completely destroy it.

That's totally useful and a scenario they will play out to our advantage when France tries to take back the land from the Louisiana purchase or Mexico tries to take back Texas.

Listen to erudite commentators like crazyfromLsu and dnc_tiger. They are in the know !

But just think about all the dead Russians and Ukrainians which is a big win for us because Russia was going to take Poland and Romania and Bulgaria, maybe even France!

The money would be easier to pass congress if they would just say the money is being used to upgrade US weapon systems. I'm pretty sure most Americans will support bigger and more powerful guns. Stop saying the money is for Ukraine if it's not for Ukraine.

I love when someone says “OK... Let me break this down for you” with unflappable confidence.

This is a lie.

The USA will have the bill for a half trillion dollars to build Ukraine back better. That's what they'll have to show for it, and it's not insignificant...
