Oh I know they want to escalate it.

I just thought that the Russian ambassador wouldn’t be getting his info from the New York Times.

read the article above, he is threatening to deplete our long range missiles if 95 gazillion dollars is not sent to Zalensky. The DoD is beyond ridic. Crimea is settled land and WHY are we in a proxy war with Russia?

To make matters worse they are making Trump/Tucker the bad guys as in how dare they when it is---- how dare they!

it would be as if we were at legit war with Mexico trying to take Texas and Russia came in and color revolutioned Mexico's govt and took over and used long range missiles (even if they have to deplete their own current defense to get the money to buy more later)

AND sell China oil reserves and never replace them.

The CCP is running DoD and the WH and it is so surreal no one can stop it.

WHY was Milley going to warn China if Trump did anything towards them? WHy is Milley not in Leavenworth with Brannon and Clapper?

I remember when Trump sought to use DoD funding to pay for the initial border wall construction on the basis of a national emergency/security declaration and the Uniparty swampers had a litter of kittens about it.

How about we fund NOTHING while our own borders are a turnstile and then AFTER they're closed we still don't send money to corrupt foreign countries.


Border enforcement has nothing to do with anything. If I dropped off a bag with a trillion dollars in it they still wouldn’t protect the border because they want all these people coming here

The democrats lie, steal, cheat, and rape. Every crime in the book. Joe Biden has done this all of his career in Congress. Now Joe Biden (and his DOJ) schemes with democrat state AG's and DA's (including Fani Willis) and judges to engage in lawfare for the purpose of destroying their political enemies.

But since our traditional values have been shredded by decades of anti-family policy producing legions of fatherless children, the same children, now grown to adulthood, who murder, rape, and sell drugs on our streets. Want to see how bad it's gotten? Goggle - Drug Zombies on Kensington Avenue, Philadelphia.

Godless people, do Godless things.

You and your ilk’s only real concern for our military is how badly you can frick it up as a social experiment.

GTFOH with that crap.

I figured I'd flush out one of you anti-Trumpsters.

It's called lawfare = using the legal system to destroy your political enemies. FACT: No one lost any money on that NY Real Estate Deal. No one was hurt financially. The Lenders got paid. As far as the accusation the property was overvalued - the Lenders did their due diligence and approved the loans based on their 'own' appraisal. Assuming President Trump's appeal fails (which in New York is quite possible) who gets all that money from the ruling? The Lenders are not entitled to it - they didn't lose any money. So do the democrats get it, with 10% off the top for the "Big Guy"? Or do the illegal aliens get it in the form of free stuff? Do you know? Do you care?

Do us all a favor - go back to your computer in your parents basement or should I say the democrat anti-Trump propaganda operations center.

How about not wasting billions of taxpayer money on a foreign nation?

Biden Is Unilaterally Funding Ukraine Through U.S. Army Operations Appropriations

Appropriations are Congressionally approved. USG agencies have to spend them for what they were authorized and funded each year through the NDAA within their designated "color of money." The President has no authority to direct defense spending so that part is not accurate.

That said, the DoD received an $840+ billion budget for this year. They'll be okay. They set the prioritization of spending allocated within different colors of money at the service level.

The best solution to the problem:
STOP SENDING MONEY TO A LOST CAUSE! IT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE.

America is unable to produce the required amount of artillery shells used weekly in Ukraine, while Russia can produce 75% more than America. The average age of Ukrainian soldiers is 43.
They don't and won't have enough artillery shells nor the amount of people to fight. The longer they fight, the less concessions will be made by Russia when peace is negotiated.

So you are an advocate of the old "domino theory". Wonder how that policy worked out in southeast Asia?

I don’t support funding Ukraine with US taxpayers dollars through any means for any number of reasons.

It appears it’s a money laundering scheme with kickbacks going to US politicians and corporate interests.
Sending them US equipment assigned a monetary value generates contracts for defense contractors to replace that equipment at taxpayers expense, clever but not completely kosher.
We’re unnecessarily provoking Russia led by an administration that is staggeringly inept at best, criminally corrupt at worst.
Mostly I oppose my taxes supporting the slaughtering of Russians and probably a generation of Ukrainians in a war that Ukraine cannot win and that is not in our interest.

You're as unhinged as you claim Trump supporters are. This thread is about Ukraine funding and you talk about Trump. Tell me how obsessed are you with the orange man? He's in your head in every post. I bet this is you every night thinking of that orange man you claim to hate:

Except be vocal during primaries (most importantly, as it gets closer to issues you care about) and general elections.
