Fair enough, but it's still better than never getting any of the $50 back.

To any soul thinking simply electing DJT was going to make this all go away…was naive at best.

This. It all changed after the pressure to release Epstein files. They must have something on Trump and he has to play ball with the uniparty or they’ll release it

Is that what they call the US military welfare plan? An arms deal? Sounds like a gift

This argument makes no sense to me would you rather they buy the weapons from other countries?

Well, despite Trump’s best efforts, the reality is that the majority of the West and the GOP do not want Putin to succeed in Ukraine.

Are you getting a check out of the sales? No…international companies are.
Just keep feeding the MIC and killing those made in God’s image while folks like you could care less as long as you have creature comforts and don’t feel the suffering.

That’s because you were too stupid to listen or read Trump’s actual positions. He has always said that he would increase aid to Ukraine if Russia did not negotiate in good faith.
“Negotiate” in good faith?
This biggest absurdity of this entire affair is the ludicrous notion that the United States is some passive, neutral party to this proxy war in the hinterlands of Eastern Europe.

the military industrial complex is not your friend, dummy
"We" (the elites) send our tax money to other countries in exchange for their agreement to buy weapons from us. This has been going on for decades.
What do we as taxpayers benefit from the MIC profits? Not a fricking thing.
It's world class money laundering.
Jerk your head out of your arse.
Repeat: our tax dollars are stolen by the military industrial complex. Where do you think NGO's and etc get laundered money?

Well, the kleptocratic regime currently entrenched in Kiev is a proxy for one of the most corrupted political elements in the West: this nation’s MIC. Anyone who suggests otherwise is a fool or a tool.

you're literally arguing that America should continue sending American tax dollars to other countries.

While not ideal, this is way better than the usual flush the money down the toilet whike enriching themselves scheme.
At least this way the money keeps getting spent and reinvested, so in theory builds the economy and infrastructure
