We are in so deep and we don't even know it. Foolishly wasting our resources on foreign wars we instigate through our globalist leaders.

It is not spending, it is a wealth transfer and grift, pure theft. That money is going to many other things other then war in Ukriane.

And that 100 billion has degraded the Russian conventional forces without the loss of one US serviceman.

They know it. We’re being lied to

I read that McConnell recently told a group to “not listen to the American people but to listen to the “people in charge”.

And that has what to do with anything?

Can you provide an example of when Russia has challenged/provoked the USA since the wall was taken down?

If this whole thing had proven one thing, Russia knows it wouldn’t be able to compete.

But, feel free to head over there, grab a rifle and help further degrade rhe

Add in the other costs....caused by disrupting the entire energy sector with this climate change cr** and lets cut off Russia.

Climate has changed since the beginning of time and we've forced Russia to make new friends with those who are not our friends.

Even worse, American leaders have failed to learn from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghan wars. MIC has bigger control over foreign policy than wisdom.

The First Pedo and his RINO-slaves have demanded more.

10% is no longer enough.

And their trafficking is being stopped, along with
their “candy”.

That’s a really nasty position. Degrade Russia using Ukrainian lives.

Challenged? Sure, Putin demanded the US withdraw NATO protection from Poland and the Baltics in Dec 2021.

Russia has put forward a highly contentious list of security guarantees it says it wants the west to agree to in order to lower tensions in Europe and defuse the crisis over Ukraine, including many elements that have already been ruled out.

The demands include a ban on Ukraine entering Nato and a limit to the deployment of troops and weapons to Nato’s eastern flank, in effect returning Nato forces to where they were stationed in 1997, before an eastward expansion.

The demands, spelled out by Moscow in full for the first time, were handed over to the US this week. They include a demand that Nato remove any troops or weapons deployed to countries that entered the alliance after 1997, which would include much of eastern Europe, including Poland, the former Soviet countries of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and the Balkan countries.

Billions for Ukraine, not one cent for East Palestine, U.S.A.
