Only a fool thinks Ukraine is actually going to hand over hundreds of billions of dollars to us when they're in the middle of a war

Why put the US in the position of having to get it back? Why send it in the first place?

I'm pretty sure that the majority of that money actually went to the European Union. He says as much in his post. We aren't demanding it back from only Ukraine, but from Ukraine and Europe.

What is ambiguous in saying that we have more munitions than we could ever need in this or any other war that may pop up?

You don't find it goofy to say in the same paragraph that we have more munitions than we could ever need and immediately follow that up with an admittance that munitions sales to allies have been paused due to supply issues?

Both things could be true. We could both have more than we need and we could also be stockpiling them for "frick you, that's why" reasons.

So if you have more of something than you'll EVER need, for what non retarded reason would you continue to stockpile? Just for the love of the game. Spend it or lose it?

What difference does it make? Are you suggesting the United States is about to lose a war or something? Or are you just looking for a "gotcha" on the POTUS?

At the end of the day he says we want our money back and that's what's going to happen .

I did.

I read where Trump noted

“the Biden Administration gave far more Munitions away to Ukraine
, at no cost to them, whatsoever, than we have used in Iran. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars was given to Ukraine and NATO, free of charge, that Europe would have paid for - If they were only asked, but we will be asking for that money, though somewhat belatedly!”

This implied that Trump gave munitions to Ukraine. My question was “why”

Did you read the post?

In your opinion, do you think that it is possible that this ‘incursion’ was expected to be more Venezuela-like and that more munitions were expended than planned? I understand the need for a confident message to the citizenry and to adversaries but hyperbole is one of the President’s trademarks.

Whatever the case, the PR campaign throughout this has not been top notch in my view.

Why did you quote this? Those words didn’t appear in the OP.

Pointing out media hypocrisy sure does seem to trigger you.

This actually is 4d chess but even the MAGA people here are too stupid to see it.

You know how much money Ukraine pays back if they lose to Russia?


$0


Trump is basically communicating we won’t let Ukraine lose.

Yeah, but that's the point.

Push will not come to shove. Not about this. I'd say only a fool thinks it will.
