Neat. Did you always hate them so much or did you have to be told to?
Pretty sweet you got out right around 9/11 and got to miss the war.

So, more taxpayer money going to Ukraine? frick that!
So you would rather stop spending anything there while signing a deal that will get some money and eliminate one of the things China can screw us with in the tarrifs war. And send the money saved to my Israel where the only guarantee is losing money
Yeah sounds like a good idea, no chance of getting any money back and cost us over 100% to get shite from China that we just signed a deal for

Sounds more like US will have access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals?
That was my thought. There's no fricking way that this agreement ties the US to GIVING Ukraine anything. We end the war, we rebuild, we get the minerals.

Is this a shot at Germany and other nations that have been buying Russian energy during the war?
It’s more likely a shot at China.

So we spent billions fighting Russia now we spend billions fixing what our bombs blew up. Sounds like some other countries I know.

Grifter?
Pump and dump on the Trump meme coin.
$500,000 for exclusive membership to a "club: with Don, Jr along with 6 figure annnual dues.
What has been going on for years is in our face corruption by politicians. Trump family seems to be doing similar crap as the Hunter and clan kickbacks.

In other words although you see “lead” improperly used in this context by people in the media I’m going to take the unprecedented tigerdroppings step of acknowledging that I took the L on this one haha.
“Lead” is not actually wrong, as it is what the word originally was. But so that it would not be mistaken for “lead” (pronounced led) used in the printing process, the spelling was altered. So “lede” is actually an alternate spelling of “lead”.

Don't hate them just know they're not worth any American blood sweat or tears.

Nope. Got to do Ar ramadi Iraq with second marine division 2005. Fun times you should have been there.

Sorry bro. I was busy with 1 MARDIV in Fallijah in 04, then a few months in that shithome Ramadi and then Haditha at the dam for a bit.

I think the focus of the deal is that we get to take Ukraine’s money and share in its minerals. So to a great degree this deal reverses the flow.

I see people are pissed off Trump is trying to end the war and get paid back by Ukraine.
Retarded? I think you are.

That seems to be the standard with the younger generation. They'll blame it on the Boomers.

It's not our fricking war, we didn't start it, why am I paying to rebuild it?
