re: Ukraine Military Aid

Because Ukraine was badly in need of effective fighting units at the time, and Azov fit the bill.

No surprise seeing you white-knight for Nazis.

You are human garbage, Hank.

It wants its terminology back.

These guys are literally trying to JUSTIFY the use of Nazi soldiers.

Hank wont admit but he supports azov.

There never was a choice any of us here had to make. There never was a choice for Biden or Congress to make.

Sure there was.

Link me to an article where Biden of Congress had to choose between funding a border wall or funding the Ukraine war effort.

They could have chosen to not goad them into a war and dragging NATO along for the ride. None of our damn business. If it was a NATO country then that changes things.

---

And that isn’t choosing between a border wall or aid is it? No it’s not.

And you guys are just making excuses for your boy Putin and for Russia. Russia covets power. They have invaded their neighbors for decades as if it’s their right to do so. You don’t have to goad them into war, they look for opportunities to fight.

Can anyone link to a story which examines the sums of actual military aid which we have sent to Ukraine? Because it does not appear that most of the money we see discussed is either military OR sent to Ukraine.

As just one example, the $40 billion last spring included $16 billion in humanitarian aid. It included about $4 billion in spending on OUR military and another $2 billion to the militaries of NATO allies. Of the remainder, much was not slated to be SPENT for months or even years.

This link from the Center of Strategic and International Studies makes some attempt to show the allocation of the money and references your point that some will not be spent for years. Also breaks down #s for military vs humanitarian vs Ukranian & US govt.

CSIS - Aid to Ukraine explained in 6 charts

It certainly isn't a complete picture... I suspect actual spending and movement of assets is very opaque and you won't be able to find a clear trail.

There are other articles on the homepage of this site which also somewhat speak to the topic, though I don't know how well or what their angle is.

Technically I am, but technically my tax dollars support criminals, deviants, Commies, skin heads, perverts, bums, thugs and a lot of other people who aren’t very good in my opinion.

Would I stop it if I could? Sure, but how?
You can’t when your taxes pay for schools, roads, bridges, social security, Medicaid, prisons, parks, libraries, shelter and food for millions.

Real-life, ADMITTED, SELF-IDENTIFYING NAZIS.....

Think about that.

As for most of us:

Fk Putin....
Fk Zelensky....
Fk Biden...
Fk all the virtue-signaling Ukraine-iacs pretending to give a shite about a country that didn't cross their mind until the Media told them to give a shite.
