      @ninalehman9054 27 днів тому +16

      That’s an incorrect argument. We have a defense budget of $886B. The aid set aside for Ukraine is not quite 7% of that budget.
      The non-defense budget is $773B. The Ukraine aid package is only 8% of that budget.
      Of the combined total between the two budgets ($1.7T), the Ukraine aid only comes to 3%.
      That’s 3 cents out of every dollar. Do you seriously think that amount will make or break any domestic programs?
      But for our Ukrainian allies, that pittance means the difference between life and death.
      Did you know that the equipment and ammunition we send them is all stuff which will expire soon? If they don’t use it, it will be thrown away anyway.
      Add to that, the fact that we will hire American companies to replace all that material. This means that aiding Ukraine is actually helping our economy and giving Americans jobs.
      Not a single American will fight there. They don’t need our people. They only need the weapons and ammunition to protect themselves.
      This isn’t simply a gift, either. We have a military lend-lease law by which we can help our allies fight and they pay us back later.
      The return on this investment is priceless: we are stopping a new land war in Europe before we DO need to send our troops there. It is far cheaper to stop Russian aggression in Ukraine than it is to stop it in Poland or Germany.

      Clarification: what goes to Ukraine is exactly what Col. Vindeman said, which is _surplus_ weapons, ammunition and defense systems, like Patriot missile batteries, from our vast stockpiles. We do this *so that* we do not end up in a World War Three scenario.

We gotta help out the American people and help out the homeless people, because there’s a lot of homeless people in America that need our help so much why can’t we take care of the American people first why do we always have to help out other countries first why this is so stupid we should not help out other countries. We should only help out the American people and helping out the homeless people so we can get them into housing and be able to get them trained and at least on their feet so they can have some schooling and be able to know how to work so that they homeless people can learn how to keep a job

The subsequent “sinicisation” of the Russian economy, coupled with the country’s demographic decline, would open Russia to Chinese immigration. Perhaps, in a generation or two southern Siberia would be mostly populated by ethnic Chinese people.

    Russia and Ukraine should do what they do best negotiate on whose land it is to take Ukraine they know very well that all of Ukraine is owned by Russia. Russia owns all of Ukraine and China owns Taiwan so the American people don’t care about it we don’t care about other peoples wars, it’s not our problem

    Count on Lt. Col. Vindman to tell it like it is, yes, morale on the frontline should be maintained at high levels at all costs, great to see Vindman in good spirits.
