Has each Nato member given 100 billion? Equity and all.

My taxes are going to this, too. I’d rather they be used to support Ukraine than pay for welfare or medical care for illegal immigrants.


I understand why some want to support Ukraine, and take no issue with them as long as they understand why some of us dont.

I just dont see how this ends well, and seems we're just prolonging it.

I certainly understand both sides, and am thankful we live in a country where we can openly debate this.

I’m simply pointing out the long-term ramifications of failing to support allies that many here don’t seem to consider. They see the short-term, I’m offering a different point-of-view.

If we turn our backs on Ukraine, pacific countries will slowly side with a China.

Besides, look at every one of our representatives. Funds that could be used to support Ukraine and stabilize the world are not going to be magically returned to you, or even pay down the debt. They will be repurposed to some other program to buy votes.

The first 6 months of this fiscal year saw an increase in the national deficit of $1 Trillion btw. The report was released this week, but no one here seems to want to talk about it.

My first thought is Frick Ukraine, BUT if they want money from the US, then full fricking transparency then MAYBE give them some money as a loan.

Most of the world is stuck sucking on the giant money tits of the good ol USA. They don’t give a damn about anything but the next pile of American tax payer cash we ship to them… why don’t you clowns be honest for once. The ONLY reason you give two shits about Ukraine is because you’re consumed by this massive wet dream that somehow fighting Putin and plunging the globe into war is akin to fighting Trump and his supporters. frick you sorry pieces of warmongering trash.

What do you think devaluing the dollar through massive inflation and printing of money we don’t have is doing?

You aren’t very smart

Please, I beg you, tell me how exactly we should "support" Ukraine?? Sending them money or old weapons only gets more of them killed, and their population has already been decimated. Aside from US boots on the ground, which any sane person is 1000% against, they have absolutely ZERO chance of winning a war against Russia. More US tax dollars does nothing but hurt America and Ukraine. Why won't they have PEACE talks?
