No one in their right mind believes we should give a blank check to Ukraine. With 33 trillion in debt, how do you justify this?

"Conditions" should include a full audit of where the previous billions have gone.

But I am not holding my breath on that condition even being brought to the table.

I can see why they call you WeeWee. Accountability must start with an audit

Get back to me after that's done or stop tugging on my weewee.

You realize they are going to pass a continuing resolution too, right? The ball is rolling downhill and nobody is brave enough to actually take the risks in stopping it for fear that the public will vote them out.

All these people are fricking criminals. Y’all getting worked up over which one is in which position thinking they’re going to change the culture of raping the stupid public is insanity

By requiring

accountability and we want objectives that are clear from the White House


That's effectively saying "no aid to Ukraine"

Russia can't afford to replace it because it is being forced to sell its only valuable exports (oil and gas) to China and India for pennies on the dollar.


Do you know what the term "Pennies on the dollar" means?

If you look at the reality of the price Russia is getting from China/India, that term is erroneous at best.

Not at all accurate or how it works. We borrow the vast majority from ourselves.

A common sense approach to keep the aid flowing and increase accountability. I like it but this board does not have common sense so I am sure you people will hate it.



Tell me more about how this new “accountability” will work.

Will any US politicians be forced to resign if the set objectives aren’t met? Will the group of politicians that vote to continue bankrolling Ukraine be required to personally underwrite this shite show if it turns out that we didn’t get all the bang we were promised for our buck?

If not, there is no accountability. So who is it that you’re trying to convince?

OK. Who we borrow from is the least important thing about the borrowing.

I don't blame the future 'us' if they say, frick it, I'm not paying that.
