How much of this money is going to go into making hatcheries a la Brave New World in order to provide the soldiers necessary to wield this equipment?

If it had not been delayed, things would be a lot rosier.

One that Trump somehow could not reverse.

Of course he can't. The GOP helped the dems block everything Trump tried to do with congress and they will again.

They are not our allies and should not be considered better than the dems.

I’m pretty sure multiple, financially ruinous decades long undeclared pointless wars on borrowed money on the other side of the world with no exit strategy nor an articulable “compelling national interest” is absolutely crucial for Protecting Democracy.

Something like that.

The Democrats have been trying to wiggle “permanent funding” in for quite some time.

Not arguing your point - but I’m not sure this is coign from Zelenskii... This is just a dope Democrat media mouthpiece trying to forward the Democrat desire for permanent funding for Ukraine.

You give Zelenskyy way too much credit for being an intellectual.

better yet - why don’t they just send in their own young men and women to fight along side the Ukrainian people?

Cough up more money suckers.

In fact, bind yourselves to coughing up a lot more for as long as we can keep this thing going. Make sure you can’t stop the money flowing to us even if your people vote for it.

Their GDP is ~$140b. That’s the whole country.

It’s all a ploy to drain America tax dollars, drive up our debt, and stuff money into congressional pockets

We use to call this kind of thing graft and corruption... today, we call it business as usual

Yawn. When Hugo Dixon picks up a rifle and travels to Ukraine he might then have said something worth hearing.

Can’t really blame Poland - Russia/Putin have had nefarious eyes on Poland for a very long time - and Ukraine is perceived as just a stepping stone to a larger goal.

Now - whether that threat is legitimate or not - one can’t blame Poland from at least being concerned.

But we (the US Taxpayers) are already “tax slaves” to decades of so-called “nation building” by the USA. We are still paying for the $billions in weapons Biden conveniently left to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

No amount of money, weapons, ammo or tanks will solve Ukraine’s problems. Ukraine doesn’t have the manpower, let alone experience, willing soldiers, to even hold the frontlines anymore. This despite the fact the Russians aren’t even on a major offensive.
