LOL!! Good luck with that. You're willing to do what it takes to get rid of Putin, but not willing to pay for it. One could make a meme of that with the guy sweating profusely while trying to figure which button to push.
What part of fighting proxy wars don't you understand? You don't get the option of not donating for the government to conduct a war. Your only option is to let other people make millions using your tax dollars to fill their pockets in a never-ending war. They can't allow it to end, because then the money stops flowing.
The fact that no one is making Ukraine account for every penny, and every piece of military equipment we send there, tells me this is just another money-making scam. They don't want you to see where that money is going, or who is making money in the black market, selling U.S. military equipment. That's the scam they are running.
False dichotomy. What I think would be best in this case would be the EU dealing with it, not NATO. Like you said, fat chance, but that at least clarifies what I want. And I think that would probably happen, if we weren't front and center sending weapons already.
So do you agree more with the Obama policy of only sending blankets to Ukraine, or the Trump policy that started sending them missiles, just to be clear?
