First of all, quoting FDR won’t convince me of anything. The man single handedly changed the American way of life by creating most of the social programs that still plague us to this day. He then pissed on the Constitution by trying to remove judges who disagreed with him. Then, he pushed for the UN. Finally, he sat down with Stalin and literally drew the lines on the map that condemned all of Eastern Europe to Communist rule (not to mention the suppression of the Orthodox Church).
Now with that said, enlighten me on who is going to pay for all of this aid that you constantly lobby for...day in and day out.
More importantly, enlighten me on why it isn’t MORE important to send that aid to the Kurds. Or to the Assyrian Christians? ISIS has global reach. Donestsk and Luhansk militias and Russia’s “little green men” do not. I can easily make the argument that not only do the Kurds DESERVE it more (they remain loyal to us even after multiple betrayals), not only does ISIS constitute a bigger threat, but the Kurds are oustanding warriors.
You know what? I would argue that the Ethiopians, Nigerians, Malians, and Kenyans deserve that aid more than Ukraine while we’re at it!
I guess the U.S. is now Oprah handing out gifts. You get aid! And you get aid! EVERYONE gets aid!
I am not a fan of FDR... however, many are thankful he started to increase weapon production for our nation.
We need to re-evaluate the nation’s financial priorities.
