We subsidize Ukraine’s small businesses, buy seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers and fund divers who clear unexploded ammunition from the country’s rivers to make them safe again for swimming and fishing.
Americans pay to secure Ukraine’s borders while millions of welfare seeking barbarians and terrorists flood through ours.
We're being taken to the cleaners...
According to this OP, an increasing number of cities are becoming unlivable with permanent damage to power generating systems and all the infrastructure, electronics and basics (heat, light and water).
There is no comparison. If the public understood that the United States provides the economy for the Ukraine, more would realize the Ukraine lost the war long ago and they are being propped up as puppets "Save the Ukraine!" when there's no chance of winning.Excerpted:
NATO/Zelensky/Biden are willing to let all of the Ukraine burn and conscript her people (aged 15 to 70, including the disabled) to die in trenches with insufficient weapons. The criminals here are those controlling NATO's elite superpowers and using the Ukrainian citizens as sacrificial chess pieces on a blood-soaked chessboard.
Trump already said the Ukraine is among the most corrupt regions in the world. He knows NATO is controlling the conflict. We know his opinion of NATO. He knows about the Biden Regime money laundering business there, that it's the center of Deep State activity, and that Zelensky is controlled and corrupt. Trump recalls that he asked Zelensky to investigate the Biden mess there, and Zelensky refused. Trump knows about the lack of accountability for the billions we sent. No. Trump doesn't think loaning them money is a good idea.
He's trolling....
I think Trump is also making the point that Ukraine could be re-armed right now. Just as Israel got a big arms shipment in December, on a promise to pay in future.
The point of this is, DC drama over Ukraine funding is WWE fake. They could send cluster munitions 155mm and land mines, of which they have millions in inventory.
But they don’t because they want to have this fake fight over funding.
The Regime knows that Ukraine will lose, they have written them off, so the last part of this is to keep them going thru the election, then blame Trump for “losing” Ukraine.
