Los Angeles homeless need a 40B package, it looks like a war zone out here
La is a more legitimate threat as well.
And Sacramento!
California is very backward state and very uneducated people
I visited in 2019
Only few areas are good and clean otherwise people sleeping on street and asking money to every foreigner
Very unsafe in night specially LA
World economic forum partners like coke, pepsi, Amazon so many product's we buy are using our money to destroy us. IHR bill the takeover of America happening now
Lmao
We have a moral and ethical responsibility to our own country!!
*Is what Americans said before pearl harbor
Read a book you isolationist
“We” means Capitol Hill and their donors. Once they open the safe, the money grab is on.
Appalling these comments.
Gobshyte. Rand has a moral obligation to his own people and to we the people not hismelf. He violated his duty to listen to the people even though all the others were in 100% agreement. All this achieves is delaying help to Ukraine and nobody benefits from it except Putin. Rand has a moral obligation to represent the people. We requested better military aid for Ukraine and we demanded no more delays! Hundreds of people collected signatures, mailed letters to the representatives, we pestered with phone calls. We did our job. We won a 100% vote. The people spoke. This should not have happened. How can the people exercise their power if the representatives refuse to listen to a 100% agreement? He disregarded what we decided. He chose to delay it one more week for a different agenda. During the delay, people will die unless they hold an emergency meeting and vote again. When the aid is packaged and shipped they will get a packing slip. Documentation is handled. He isn't throwing a blockade over concern of accountibility. He is another motivation. And It's a damn shame.
Why would anyone be against appointing an Inspector General to catalog and inventory such a large amount of money and lethal weapons? It's immoral to NOT have accounting oversight on this.
You mean like what we lost in afganistan that no one talks about anymore..and now were giving away the rest, weakening our military and cimpletely DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!!!!
@@caspers.8846 our military gets $730 billion a year they can afford 18 of these aid packages _annually_ and have $10 billion to spare. US military doesn’t need to be stronger it needs to be smarter it’s equipped to fight armies not rebels. It also can get 1/7 the budget and still take over half the planet, if anything is going to destroy our country it’s the wasted resources we spend on weapons. Or climate change that could definitely destroy stable food supplies.
@@caspers.8846 I agree with you. But do take some solace in that the weapons we are giving Ukraine are from older stockpiles, and needed to be used or demolished at some point. We hadnt purchased a Javelin or a Stinger in almost 20 years, because neither had any use in our middle eastern conflicts.
@@caspers.8846 We didn't loose anything in Afghanistan most of that was older stuff the Afghanistan army had.
@@kameronjones7139 ohhh yes we did and no it was not. Rewriting a narrative are you? At 83 billion and now 40 billion what do you consider older? And how much of it is not usable in combat today?
What was our savings on this gear and equipment that did not have to be re-contracted? Since I know for a fact it is quality gear and equipment (on both giveaways) you should go there fully armed and tell just one of them to pull the stuff off. I trust you are confident in the gear "you would wear to this discussion" to come back alivs? Let us hear some real insider info. on this.
There has to be a line of BS you are relying upon with this or is your last name in line with the first Usay?...Uday.
Tell me something...how does 2" manilla rope feel?
How does the Tomahawk we gave you taste for breakfast?
I know you have the straight scoop on this 123 billion. You just have too.
Thank you Rand Paul, at least someone in Washington has some common sense
And cares about them shafting "We The People".
Thank both of you for standing up for us
Watch the film "Ukraine on Fire" on UA-cam to see who sponsored the coup which removed the president of Ukraine during 2014, and which of those people are now in the Biden administration.
I wish yall learned the deal more honestly, its not 40b we could use anymore really. Its straight up 95% already paid and in use by the us or reserved assets, you can ask urself do we really need that equipment after leaving afghanistan and having gear already in iraq, vs a nation destroying expensive russian shit and kicking its ass.
The Ukraine is another CIA created “Banana Republic” except for it’s not in the sunny south it’s in Europe.
You should ask the American People what they want to do with their money 👍
Hahaha…. They’ll just put Americans against one another, and create another culture war ie student loan, child tax credit. Etc…. Our money isn’t our money.
They have been taking the pulse of the community. And everyone I know is absolutely unanimously wanting this to pass. My God - it's literally talking about letting thousands of people die versus money, money comes and goes. We are trillions in debt it will take us 1000 years to get even close to paying it off, and this would add on 20 years or something. We spend way more money on dumb shit. THIS is not enough money to save to let a nation be executed. I seriously think if the holocaust were happening again right now, most people in this post would literally let it happen. I'm disgusted.
They don't give two fucks about Americans
They do. Not just in the way the people like. Politicians create the problem, add to it and then blame the people saying, " it's what they wanted." Sad, really.
They were asked when they voted these people into office. We vote them in to make decisions for us, that's the whole point of representative democracy. I don't think I want people who don't understand that to decide what happens with 40 billion dollars lmao
Why aren't we asking "how are we going to pay for it?" We ask if any time we the people of the country ask for anything.
Because everyone knows The dollar is built off American sweat and debt.
The Democrats are the only party to produce a budget surplus and reduce deficits.
The Republicans have brought about the last three major recessions and always run the deficit back up.
Aid is just another term for loan.. Their sinking ukraine in debt. The president ran on ending corruption so they have to bog him down and ensure he isn't reelected. American politicians are the ones running the corruption thru ukraine. Joe admitted to leveraging the aid money to get a prosecutor fired. Quid pro quo. Then he admitted it and justified it by saying everyone wanted him gone. Shit politicians.
Not to mention that they’re also getting aid from other countries & from countless organizations worldwide
@@tegridygaming6599 Because people like Rand Paul would have to care and have a plan to go along with it and spend the time writing the bill.
Something is wrong when we should just accept $40B being spent without a breakdown of where it is going.
But there is such a breakdown and budget over-site, so it is questionable what Holley and Rand is talking about. We have a part list and equipment list of what material is being sent to Ukraine. The issue is that the weapons that we are sending the Ukrainians are state of the art, and that is some expensive stuff. Look at the cost of a Javelin vs a Russian BMP-70. But that is the cost of sending State of the Art, second to none equipment to take on one of the largest militarys on the planet.
You know where a big chunk of it is going.
Leftoids sure love to waste billons of taxpayer money on some backwater they didn’t even know it existed before 2013.
10% to the big guy
Why are you saying there is not breakdown??? There will be an inventory packing slip in public. We will have a record. Rand is stalling for political purposes. He is in the wrong.
They can always find the money when they want to EXCEPT when it comes to providing Americans with a proper (one payor) health insurance system.
Conservatives: "we need that money here"
Also conservatives: "giving money to the poor is socialism!"
who is it wanting to block obamacare (which isn't even single payer) and expanding medicare? It's the same people blocking this.
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 wrong. it doesn't need to be given to anyone in particular. put it to education and infrastructure. affordable health insurance isn't a bad idea though.
@@bryanmannoia8410 if you want infrastructure improvements, ask republican reps why they blocked bills that would have improved infrastructure.
If you want better education, stop electing Republicans who are anti-science, and who ban books.
Thanks for playing.
I don’t want government funded healthcare it would destroy it
Make sure that the big guy gets 10%

That's Socialism.
@@jimmycorlzer9007 and what’s your argument?
Or just lower taxes
@@anthonygifford9494 People doesn't need handouts from the government. Get your ass out there and work.
@@jimmycorlzer9007 "Get your ass out there to work, so the fed can steal half your paycheck and give it to foreign countries."
40B??!! They’re out of their minds. They refuse to help Americans, but would send billions to another country..what a joke.
Shows you where their honest alliance is…… How many countries helped us after 9/11 attacks again? NONE!!!! We the U.S. got ourselves back up.
Now the country is in the middle of a financial crisis from within, and what are we doing….. Sending the help we need away. WHAT!?!?
YES, the war in Ukrainian is horrific, but if the U.S. don’t start taking care of the U.S., I fear that this country will only implode on itself. Since in a way it’s already happening.
Wouldn’t you want our allies to help us if a foreign country invaded us raping and killing women and children? Isn’t that the christian thing to do?
And they give baby formula to illegals who commit crime to come here bring fentanyle. They tried to cover it up that they refuse to give to americans the storage stock they have. But fox expose them. That's your corrupt gov for you.
"They refuse to help Americans" the USA spends about a trillion dollars a year on welfare. They are giving Ukraine a mere 4% of what they currently give to American citizens (mostly blacks and hispanics) who just refuse to work, or do illegal under the table work like selling drugs and then claim they need more money from white American taxpayers.
@@ZahrDalsk welfare to the illegals coming through the open borders. that's still not helping the country.
We have a moral obligation to AMERICA
You’re exactly right. As I’m writing this I just happened to look up and there is a homeless guy just sitting in the rain. I’ll tell you what take care of our homeless and then you can start helping other people
We should not give Ukraine another penny. This is not our war and
we've helped them out plenty. Enough is enough. No more money
for that corrupt Zalensky. A good size portion ends up in his pocket,
a large amount. Our country is falling apart, we desperately need
that money here. And I'm sick of Zalensky with his zoom calls
whining about needing more help. He can go pound sand as far as
I'm concerned.
What about the aid needed to American citizens like wth wrong with these folks
@@johnnyfire3860 thats not our problem. We dont know the history of the person
The moment we realize leftist and liberal have gone too far with their agenda.
Thank you Senator Paul, for wanting to know where this money is being spent. Our Congress is great a hiding things in their bills and wanting quick passages.
PAUL IS ALWAYS A STICK IN THE MUD..I THINK HE LIKES THE ATTENTION....
I proudly quote Sen. Rand Paul, “My oath of office is to the U.S. Constitution, not to any foreign nation,” he said, adding, “We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy.” Rand Paul is simply honoring his taken oath as a United States Senator - can more?
Let's hope the US doesn't need Europe s help again
@@stopthescammers1362 they are useless ever since after ww2
Ah but when the police need $100B to murder black children and rape detainees it’s fine but when Ukraine needs assistance we can’t find the money. Maybe if we made the rich pay taxes we would have enough and then some.
Americans don’t stand by when a country is overrun by a dictatorship raping and killing and looting, we don’t do that especially when we signed a treaty in 1994 saying we would help them if they gave up their nuclear weapons so if you don’t know this maybe you shouldn’t comment on it
@@bjkjoseph Bro WE are the dictatorship that's raping and killing innocents
Why don't we put that $40bil towards affordable (or free) healthcare, education, better rehab systems, more affordable housing, and more things that our country currently has a desperate need for?
Good Russian bot
Because that would make sense and help Americans who need it the most.
We need to do a better job of taking care of our Seniors, Veterans, Homeless and those who are Disabled.
@@lopoa126 Probably being sarcastic but I'm not a bot lol
Probably because it makes too much sense and the politician’s job is not to solve problems but rather create them.
@@lopoa126 You're a foul for actually thinking there's anything wrong with what he said.
500 million aid to U.S. farmers and 40 Billion to Ukraine that's why we need to stop paying taxes.
Actually, agriculture has received about $16 billion a year in the last decade in subsidies.
@@bambesfresser don’t bother with that. He doesn’t know. He is not all there. 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
@@bambesfresser may be true, but THIS admin ignores us.. hence the upcoming recession
It's just that the politicans can't do the math as well as you.
@@bambesfresser you might have a point if it wasn't $40 billion. maybe the point will sink in once this is all done in a few years and that amount is tripled. or perhaps now if you could take a moment to count all of the defense spending in the last decade.
No we should not send this much money to anyone else OUR COUNTRY AND OUR people need for this money to be spent on our country
well... the problem is if ukr doesn't win then you might find you're spending more than that fighting in europe... when russia pushes on... at the moment ukr is doing all the fighting.
@@joecater894 nah, Ukraine and US swamp politicians should have found a way to stop the war. Instead they escalate it, especially our u.s trash politicians. They are salivating at the military industrial complex war machine, hypnotized by the dollar signs.
If anyone wants to support this war send your own money and go fight and send your family members to go fight.
Russian army is a problem for everyone. Not you of course
The money didn’t go to any body except American arm manufacturer
@@joecater894 Russia isn't going to touch any NATO countries. Stop fear mongering. If Russia wants to spread, why aren't they multitasking and invading other non-Nato countries NOW? Russia has one of the highest population, yet they're focusing all on Urkaine.
40 billion dollars is, on average, roughly 300$ from every tax payer in the US. Would you be willing to give 300$ to the government to be sent to Ukraine? Maybe you would, but is it right for the government to force you?
NOPE & NOPE
Hell no
Yes absolutely, sadly you don't understand the international threat USA is dealing with and you only care about domestic, but if we let countries like Ukraine and Taiwan fall in hands of our enemies, that would damage USA immensely, Ukraine provides most wheat for the world, has tons of natural resources in black sea that Russia wants to take over which would mean if Russia has access to all of that, USA and Eruope will be even more dependant on Russians in future.
Taiwan provides 92% of the world's semiconductor chips that US military uses as well (neither US or China have achieved this technology compared to Taiwan), Taiwan's economy is also very very important to US. If we lose access to Taiwan, then that would mean ALL OF OUR advanced military tech will be dependant on China.
Now you are paying $300 per person to keep America as the world leader and our partners will pay us that back with world security and their relations. You have to be VERY simple headed to not understand the global threat America has been under, please stay away from geopolitics if you have zero comprehension of it. If America doesn't show support for their allies, then many of our current allies will open more ties with China and Russia in return giving them more power and cutting us off from international power.

Yeah brian every time anyone says their opinion and it doesnt align with your own they must be a russian disinformist. Other comments im a homo phobe or racist who cares label away.
Question where is all the money actually going ? Does it go to Ukraine or somewhere else? The government can't account for the money that was already approved . How long until the American People demand account of all the spending and where it goes. Case in point the infustructure bill ... I have not seen any road repair here in UTAH. Over the years we have seen many infustructure bills passed, yet bridges continue to collapse and roads continue to degrade
That's because the American people are now tax batteries for the world elites. We now work for the new world order. All the countries get our money and we can't even focus on our failing infrastructure or mental health crisis. We are obviously under attack and the people.in the white house are holding the door open for them
20 Billion is going to Democrat cronies
Yes, me either. Here in Illinois we are buying shock absorbers like crazy. The potholes are so big you would mistake them for sink holes. Okay, maybe I exaggerated quite a bit, but they are bad too.
Politicians always give reasons to spend money on things that cannot be seen, felt, touched or verified. Trillions upon Trillions of American Taxpayers dollars spent without any accountability or justifiable reasoning. Ukraine will not be victorious and all the money's given by America and other countries will be squandered . Many will become rich , politicians, Defense contractors, and governments.

Congress correctly and in a bipartisan vote of "hell yes" votes to send military equipment to Ukraine.
How do I say this politely... it's the invasion that's causing the food shortages and inflation.
Plus, don't you feel any duty to intervene in an unjust war that will only get bigger?
@EL CID
Ukraine government employees aren't poor, because a good part of the so called humanitarian Aid cash going to Ukraine is to pay their salaries.
The man said he didn't want a ride, he wanted ammunition. Seems he's OK with a load of cash also.
The infant formula shortage is due to recall of the formula for contamination issues at Abbott Nutrition, the largest U. S. manufacturer of baby formula. The inflated commodity prices are a global problem. Every nation in the world, except China, is experiencing high inflation right now. The reason that it is not happening in China is because the government there controls all prices in China.
majority of americans are NOT thinkers.. shortsighted and lack of big picture of the world... if Russia controls the Ukraine, US and the world will not getting the natural resources and mineral supplies to power its economic engines...this is an investment for the future of the US and the west... US has been collecting so much free oil and other rare minerals from Arabs countries including Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi, Afghanistan and others... why do you think US has the lowest gasoline prices than anywhere else in the world?

I agree 100%.
We don’t have morale obligations we have zero obligation to do anything for any country. Use 40 billion for this country. I don’t care if it’s for a Republican desire or a democrat desire at this point just do it for Americans for the love of god.
budapest memorandum 1994
So selfish. I'm ashamed to be your countryman.
How bout they match it with 40 billion of housing aid to low income Americans. Would that really be too much to ask with rent in many places having risen by more than 30% in a single year? We need to start helping our own citizens before it's too late. Many Americans are being bumped right out of the middle class due to stagnant wages and obscene increases in the cost of living.
I'm not saying Ukraine doesn't need help. I'm just saying that it's wrong to keep ignoring the needs of our own citizenry. America is in a full blown crisis. Our standard of living is declining at an extraordinary rate and none of our politicians seem very concerned about that.
Defense contractors surely love this big bag of continued handouts. Those political donations certainly come in handy for them.
Yes but Rand Paul would filibuster it and the Republicans would vote against it.
DO NOT SEND SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO UKRAINE. WE AMERICANS NEED MONDAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE EVER SEEN A MORE STUPID PRESIDENT............WE AMERICANS NEED THE MONEY NOW. ACTUALLY SINCE BIDEN TOOK OVER
Spending $40 billion on affordable housing would mean the money couldn't be laundered by defense contractors. They have a seat at the table on Congressional spending. Low income people do not.
👍👍👍agree 100 percent
@@Christina.Bassford Of course he would never be in favor of something so logical and necessary.
I didn't mean to imply that such a measure would ever get Rand Paul's support. Republicans are always extremely open about being totally against any type of aid going to Americans. And they're also against common sense measures that would keep corporations and the ultra wealthy from so severely sticking it to the American people.
Its a terrible position to be put into. Morally Americans feel they must aid Ukraine but at the same time. Why is it when its military funding its easily brought up and wanted. Yet when its for things that Americans need. Its an uphill battle in Washington. Politicians need to get their priorities straight.
@EL CID imagine being this ignorant.
Now you know how military work and also it's Russia
Maybe reduce the billions given annually to Israel? Just an idea.
Russia is on the march in Ukraine. Stop it there or stop it at the English Channel. I can assure you it's cheaper to stop it now.
It's not the people of the US Fault the Criminal DS had active bioweapons labs in Ukraine
The people of Ukraine haven’t seen a penny of forign aid. It’s about draining The US of resources and weapons and money. They must bring down the United State’s before mid term. This is an attempt to undo America as fast as possible. Treason treason treason.
There's nothing wrong with asking for a receipt of purchase if the money isn't yours to spend freely, to begin with.
But that's not what he's doing. We already will get a receipt of purchase. What exactly did you think we were doing?
Lets go brandon
Thankyou Rand Paul! Now if we could just get other senators to listen to his wisdom! 40 billion! That's crazy!!
I’m not mad because we need to focus on our country. It’s crazy how they can easy give 40 billion on another country but it’s pulling teeth to pay US citizens throughout the pandemic, not including the fact that the US can’t even give their own citizens adequate health care, education, better paying jobs, etc. it’s the peoples tax dollars that are used. Work on us first then worry about others. I don’t agree with what’s going on in Ukrainian but they have to do something here 1st.

We will never get fair until the republicans stop voting against the initiatives you are suggesting.
Not everything has to be given to everybody. Americans never used to think that way and most of the world never has. I have adequate health care, education, and a good job, but nobody "gave" it to me. Same with most people over the age of 50.
They could do all those good things about health and education but the Trump administration decided to give a two trillion dollar tax cut to the upper 2% of the wealthiest Americans! Ukraine is fighting a war that we should back them on unless we want to fight it later, by ourself! All alone!

Thank you so much. Is it ridiculous to send that much money. We have so many of our own veterans here in the United States that desperately need help. We cannot be the worlds savior all of the time..
Elon and Jeff has more than $ 40B.
You're dead WRONG. This is our war, too.
So when/if a country ever decides to invade us do you want our allies to shrug and say "well, got our own shit to deal with. Have fun with that"?
@Scott McConnell Please shut up. This issue is beyond your idiotic warhawk tendencies.
Why. It isn't hurting is. It's actually boosting our economy as more and more orders for various equipment are ordered to replace the old Soviet style that has already been sent to Ukraine. You really don't understand economics at all.
Thankyou Ran Paul 👏🏽
It’s crazy that Twitter was purchased for more than it cost to aid Ukraine.
This is only one of countless already, the $40B is just this weeks..
But the money is buy the right things and the money to give the wrong things. It’s differently.
Takes them over 6 months to decide on a stimulus check to help the American people and only two weeks to send another country over $40 billion.
And who was in control of the voting then? Take a look at every video of what went on and you will find out that it was Trump and the GOP are the ones who stop the American people from getting help. Now we have American who are not willing to fight for themselves. Even though they have a way of saving their life for the most part.
I agree with the sentiment but you’re talking about a poor country being invaded by the country with way more nukes than anyone else & comparing that to 1k checks for Americans.
That's why I hate those mother fucking politicians Mitch said america doesn't have money to spend on stimulus but now they have no problem printing checks for ukraine non stop.
That an additional $40 billion.

Imagine having homelessness ppl in your country and you’re sending 40billion to another country.
Imagine having ppl that lost their jobs over the last few years as a result of covid and you’re sending 40 Billion to another country.
*Imagine your country having any sort of problems* that can be addressed through implementing any form of assistance that will in turn not only employ ppl but also provide the tools and resources to assist the citizens to become self empowered but instead chooses to send 40 billion to another country.
Biden needs to go out of office, retired perhaps!!! Idk..
Apparently you like voting Republican. Did you know that in the last year the republicans voted to block additional Covid relief. They blocked legislation the social build back better package which would have provided assistance to employ people. Help that would have given people the tools and resources to assist our citizens to be self empowered. Why? They want to keep you down and empower the wealthy. It has nothing to do with Biden. It is the very arses you are supporting.
I couldn’t agree more. Leftoids love wasting taxpayer money just so they can act “morally superior”.
Go cry to putin about it.
Imagine having your country invaded, your family raped and murdered, and your entire community levelled to the ground by artillery fired......
Well the Ukrainians are doing something unlike the homeless which is fighting the war for NATO. It's a good cause, but NATO did betray Ukraine by not sending soldiers.
Thank you..... "We The People" have needs that our tax dollars can fulfill! Our Veterans, Schools, Teachers, Seniors, Children, Disabled, Unemployed due to C19, those with hospital bills that are about to send them into bankruptcy for the same reason, Nurses, Minimum wage workers, Mortgage holders, Renters, Small businesses, Farmers, Truckers, Infrastructure...We have Billions to toss to others but seemingly nothing for ourselves. All we get is the responsibility of the repayment for the debts incurred at the behest of other countries, none of the benefits. .We're in an abusive relationship and masking the cuts, breaks, and bruises! If we borrow money from the bank the first thing they want to know is how we're going to spend it, and they want collateral!
Speak for yourself we the people don't agree with you I don't
And what about Americans and and freaking debt. Who's coming to our aid ?No one
We don't need aid. We just need to police our taxation regulation and laws. Corporations need to pay their fair share. Multimillionaires need to pay more in personal taxes than school teachers. We need to do away with making exceptions for wealthy. It's the people who made them rich
You people know nothing about economics. Everything will be replaced! The aid packages included equipment costs we sent the equipment (equivalent) to financial aide. Much is loans. You want food costs down? Help Ukraine win. They are the Breadbasket of Europe! The debt is offset by the price paid forf new equipment that we and multiple other countries purchase to upgrade their systems to NATO STANDARD. SO many other ways of offsetting any debt!! tRump put us in debt! Obama left office with a surplus. As did Clinton. Want debt reduce without costing reg American people money? Keep Democrats in both houses of Congress and the White House in control.
You idiots started this with tTump, Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey etc
Your all to damned blind to truth. If you want another revolution keep it up! It's coming. First tRump,then voting rights, now women's RIGHTS; you never should have given "US" a reason to become an ARMY. Now that you have......
American people are having a very difficult time right now, they are crazy not to care about the people, but to care about other countries, a country that is going downhill seriously without worrying!!!
"we can not save ukraine by dooming the US economy" these are the best words spoken by a republican I ever heard. "Always aid to the relief of your fellow man but not at the expense of your own" Inflation is out of control and people are being pushed into poverty. We need to wake up. After this year Im switching from Democrat to Independent and only vote for representatives that has our country first in mind.

Its a scam think about it
A new car can be profitable at $30k, that has 30,000 individual parts, numerous subsystems
but a tomahawk cruise missile that weighs the same and has barely any moving parts costs like 2 mil?
Senators get kickbacks from the military companies, while they rake in the profits from tax dollars
@@xblade11230 Yeah, _putting aside_ all consideration of design, production and custom manufacturing, scales of economy, you make a good point.
@@bossybill7437 A tiny fraction of the engineering goes into a missile vs a car
A cruise missile is just a tube filled with explosives, a rocket engine, jet fuel. And then you have a couple of motors that move a couple of fins. And then you have a GPS chip and controller, and just program the fins to move so that the missile lands on the gps spot.
Fins remain horizontal to go further, fins point downwards to lose altitude
Meanwhile for a car, the car needs to be engineered and tested to last 100k miles
You have a cooling system, a fuel system, drive train, intake and exhaust, engine, fuel injection system, air conditioning and heating etc..
If you asked a lazy engineering student which project they would rather do, they would 100% take the cruise missile
@@bossybill7437 You have a rudder on the missile, that moves left and right. that makes the missile move left and right
the gps chip gives you your current coordinates and altitude, just write a lazy program to control the rudder to point towards your target. Then just control the wings and your falling so that your altitude hits zero
@@xblade11230 Yeah, right. That's why every man and his dog's doing it.
We need to stop taking care of other countries
so that when we need assistance from them (which we do get all the time) they can tell us to piss off... Time to grow up and realize the US is not on this planet alone and aid to other countries always pays us dividends.
Rand has a moral obligation to represent the people. He refused to do it. Even though we had a 100% agreement. All this does is delay help to Ukraine for another week and nobody benefits from it except Putin. We requested better military aid for Ukraine and we demanded no more delays. Hundreds of people collected signatures, mailed letters to the representatives, we pestered with phone calls. We did our job. We won a 100% vote. The people spoke. This should not have happened. How can the people exercise their power if the representatives refuse to listen to a 100% agreement? He disregarded what we decided. He chose to delay it one more week for a different agenda. During the delay, people will die unless they hold an emergency meeting and vote again. When aid gets packaged they add an inventory packing slip. It isn't cause of accountability. He knows all of that can be sorted out before it ships. He has a different motivation and it's not the same one we have. And It's a damn shame.
U.S Government should stop being a baby sitter
They can't even take care of themselves America is falling apart people have to work two jobs just to put food on the table an roof over their head they don't have money to fix this problems but they they're always ready to borrow for wars to say its all about their National Security what the big lie
Notice Schumer said “WE HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION” not a legal obligation. So to those arguing that we need to support them because we’re required to do so is speaking from their ass.
*They are not even in NATO let alone the fact that there is other countries in the world that can help.* 🙄
No one is saying we legally need to
They have a moral obligation to stop the war, with common sense they could stop the slaughter in days, if there only is a will, that is. I don't see it. Zelensky is not allowed to negotiate in good faith, Biden wants war with Russia he is ready to demolish the whole of Europe, with the NATO proxies, and do a regime change, and he wants unconditional surrender.
I think it's called having a "moral compass" which some people don't seem to possess.
We did declare an oath to defend them against aggressors, it's the whole reason they gave up their nukes. Is the word of America worth nothing?
Even if I ultimately disagree with Paul on this, $40 billion should probably have a vote on record or I can't take our government seriously anymore.
Nothing wrong with asking for an unbiased 3rd party top ensure that this money is not just being funneled back to sleepy joe and heroin Hunter

I love how quickly politicians can spend our tax dollars and not be held accountable. Yes I know they can be voted out of office but the reality is once they are in there they are there for life.
I don't care if this sounds like President Trump or not I believe the American people should come before any other country in the world. Invest back into America get factories running get the homeless someplace safe. 40 billion dollars would go a long way in this country to help its own citizens.
We need to stop thinking we can fix all the world's problems. None of that benefits the average American. Keep taxpayer dollars here in the United States.
The republicans would vote against anything that is helpful to our own country right now.
The government doesn’t build factories,the companies left for cheaper labor, only when their costs in China and elsewhere goes up will they come back.
Not giving surplus howitzers to Ukraine isn't going to get people into housing. I work at the homeless shelter as a volunteer because I believe it is MY job to help others, not the government's.
It should be both. We need to focus on home, and also UKR is fighting someone who literally does not believe in the freedoms that many in the US take for granted.
Because Republicans refused to approve aid and help to the American people.
How no one drop kicks chuck schumer yet is mind boggling to me lol
This bill goes to show that we can easily get monthly stimulus
Why can't we also cut defense spending, we are the only nations that spend more money on defense than any other country. that money is not going anywhere and we are not even using it.
because the defense budget also goes to protecting those other countries.
Good grief. Your comment doesn’t even merit a reply. Please stop watching The Simpsons, grow up, and use your brain. How old are you anyway?

How can we expect to help others and be a shining example to other countries when we ourselves are struggling? And don’t give me the war then. The US been at odds with the Russians since the end of the Second World War. At this point, it’s all about one upping one another. Plus, the US invades and leaves countries in devastation all the time in the last 70 years. Look at Vietnam, look at Afghanistan, look at Iraq and the Middle East. Hell, look at Palestine, we help fund Israel with millions of dollars every year so that they can bomb people.
He’s completely right too, no point in helping if it means your economy will collapse before a resolution happens anyway.
Of course Halley is not correct when he says Europeans do less. There is no lend lease, but as usual Europe absorbs the refugees and the costs associated with that. There is less help in regard to arms, because there is simply less available.
