Since March, according to the DoD as quoted this morning by Fox & Friends First. And that’s just what they’ve acknowledged.

That’s almost $2B a week, every week.

That’s almost $300M a day, every day.

I would LOVE to know just how much actually gets spent to defend Ukraine and how much ends up in the pockets of DC swamp rats.

Conservatives are cool with this tho. Russia always bad. Very bad. America always good, if you ignore the evil we've seen the last two years.

Our own government has lied about covid and the vaccine, Suppressed free speech, imprisoned without trial, weakened the family unit, promotes sterilzation and mutilation of youth, and promoted color revolutions all over the globe, including here at home. Would not be suprised if we funded isis as well, up until Trump. Was kinda strange how quickly isis died down.

What do we have to show for it?

Why are no other countries concerned about Ukraine and giving them tens of billions of dollars ?

If Ukraine was so vital to humanity, everyone else should be pitching in, but everyone decided to let America be the sucker and fund everything .

And yet somehow, we can't trace how its spent.

And if a President wants to investigate how it's spent, he will be impeached.

I wish our politicians care half as much about our borders as they do Ukraines.

Can Texas identify as Ukrainian?

We shouls have given them twice as much. (And so should others like the Europeans although the Baltics, Poland, Czechs, Finns have given a lot. Portugal? Not so much.).

They are trying to outspend Putin and by doing so they think they are going to win that war

The OTers are always lying about the amount given to Ukraine. Most of them even pretend to be conservative.

I'll bet there's a shite load of crossover between Ukraine bros and Covidians.

Their GDP has been bouncing around $130B/yr.

So we’re basically giving them a year of GDP.

There’s a 100% union between people who have a Ukrainian flag as a profile picture and those who think nationalism is the biggest threat to the U.S.

Good thing my family and most American families are living paycheck to paycheck, especially during this recession.

Americans who think "patriotism" is a dog whistle for domestic terror, and people on the socials who shill for Ukraine with literal Nazis fighting Russians, are the same people.

Some folks are only against American nationalism.


To the OP: for perspective, the 2022 military budget was $1.64T and we sent about 4% of that to help a smaller country decimate one of our top enemies. It might be decent deal that is good for America.

Approx 30% goes to the actual war. The other 70% goes to you already know the usual characters.

The aid is essential for our own protection. Putin will eventually take over Europe and then invade the U.S.
He plans on sending his navy up the Gulf and hitting the beaches at New Iberia because he knows we shut down the Navy Air Base there in 1964 leaving it totally defenseless.
