Ukraine’s $61 Billion lifeline is not enough

I would be in favor of shipping the millions of military-age males that have been crossing the US Boarder illegally for the last several years - Make serving in Ukraine on the front lines a requisite for even consideration for citizenship (and feel free to stay in Ukraine if you like it).

[Kazan]

Let’s send ALL of Congress that voted for funds to Ukraine to fight for the cause they believe in.

I volunteer to round up the Zeepers here as conscripts and send them to Ukraine with them!

[Navy Patriot]

Yeah, Me Too.

Wait, the broads co opted that one.

I guess I'll have to think up another phrase to support Democracy Mob Rule.

And they will say no money for Social Security and Medicare

[TheBattman]

Nothing short of magically creating a hundred thousand + well-trained soldiers and a massive supply (basically unlimited) of top-notch weapons and no restraints on how they are used has even a remote chance of victory (at least in the current definition of removing Russia from all the pre-2014 territory of Ukraine).

This is something that the West does not have the backbone or stomach for - and in all honesty, I don’t believe even wants to happen.

Ukraine is but a pawn. The only question at this point is WHO’s pawn will they be going forward. If the West abandon’s Ukraine - then it is only a matter of (short) time that they are yet another vassal of Putin/Russia - and then Russia has done exactly what they accuse NATO of doing... impinging on borders. Then it will be Poland on the edge - which is why Poland, among all the EU states, has taken this the most seriously. They know the score.

You sure ?

Repubs have been promising to defund PBS and NPR since 1980.

Not a bad idea. Europe could shift their refugees in that direction as well.

Save Ukraine for Islam and Aztlan!

if Biden somehow manages to win,

Have another drink.

[rollo tomasi]

Why isn't $6.1 Billion not enough "for the big guy"?

All kidding aside though, journalists need to do their job and call for/investigate accounting practices with all this spending. Agitprop is all the press regurgitates.

[srmanuel]

Don’t ever discount the Republicans ability to screw things up and the Democrats ability to cheat, Biden winning can’t be dismissed

[xone]

I don’t discount either, neither do I inflate them. Biden loses in Nov or before.

1st, the (R)N(C) PARTY != Govt/D.C.

Lastly, they’re STILL alive & kicking, no? Just like their calls to abolish DoEd, EPA -> O’Care. What’s their track record of “smaller govt” (boy THAT phrase died in ‘16, never to be heard since)??

So my point still stands.
