We're approaching $100B to Ukraine.

There are what, 50-60 million actual taxpayers in the country?

If he's just an average taxpayer, that's well over $1,000 taken out of his pocket by Joe Biden and given to Zelensky. You don't think that's meaningful?

To root for Ukraine is to root for a fascist government that rigs elections, jails political opposition.

Fake invasion, real crime you really think a country as big as Russia couldn’t crush lil Ukraine at any moment??



Yeah, and the USA was so easily able to crush little Vietnam so easily.

I kind of forgive you. It is not entirely your fault you are spewing nonsense never having been to Russia. If you even spent one week in that country and saw how disorganized the place is and how drunk (literally....drunk) the people are all the time, this would not be surprising at least.

Oh, for the guy asking. Please remember, Ukraine considers themselves part of US. They have a momumnet to Ronald Reagan in Kyiv (they stopped constructing it - had to - when the Russians invaded).

Meanwhile this is the Russian capital during Muslim Holy Days. If all the Muslims who live in Moscow were to emigrate to the USA and make their own city somewhere, they would be America's fifth largest city after Dallas but bigger than Phoenix and Philadelphia.

And that's just in the capital - Moscow! It's even MORE Muslim in the rural Southern Republics.

So tell me...

You want to root for a country building monuments to Ronald Reagan and who wants to be a US ally? Or do you want to root for a country that considers the USA a rival and has this happening every year in its capital?

SLAVA UKRAINI!

I don't really give a damn what they consider themselves... they are not a part of the U.S. and we have sent them way too much already...

I didn't say they consider part of USA but part of "US" (like a synonym for the word "we" as in "we the western world", "we, the normal people world not the drunk fricked up Russian world". I didn't mean "USA".

My bad for not expressing that better, but thank you for allowing me to correct.

Rooting for Russia is rooting for China, Iran and the anti fracking anti oil folks in the west who all base their arguments from Russian propaganda.

Show me the arithmetic, Powerman. Don't worry about firing up the Commodore, I'm okay with crude numbers - but explain yourself.

did you root for the Predator or the army guys schwarzenegger was with?

Russia is the Predator.

like the tribe of northern Nigeria treats the tribe who lives where the oil is, that's how Russia treated Ukraine over the decades.
sucking money.
the infamous use of Ukraine grain with starvation of Ukraine.

Ukraine is choosing another lover. rape isn't enough.
they are ready to try western capitalism.

The fact that you are even asking this means you are too stupid to have it explained to you.

Ummmmmm....printing vast amounts of dollars and giving them to a foreign country doesn't affect me and you?

Basic economics is lost on the overwhelming majority in this country. Most people, like Powerman, are clueless when it comes to inflationary causes.
