Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday claimed American taxpayers have a “moral duty” to defend Ukraine’s eastern border from invasion by giving aid to the nation.

In a New York Times op-ed published while the secretary visited the nation, Yellen said the American support “is motivated, first and foremost, by a moral duty to come to the aid of a people under attack.”

American lawmakers have so far earmarked more than $110 billion of taxpayer funds to defend the border against a Russian invasion.

What about the invasion on our southern border? You stupid BEEP

[silverleaf]

The Treasury Secretary should address the moral responsibility of defending our own borders.

About $200 Billion would be a good start.

[stars & stripes forever]

Globalist put the world ahead of America’s wellbeing.

[escapefromboston]

Send the bill to Victoria Nuland and Obama

[Ros42]

But I thought the Globullists wanted a borderless world to control!

[jroehl]

For the amount of money we have sent to the Ukraine, we could have given every woman that gave birth last year $30,000.

Ukraine aid = 112 billion
Births per year USA = 3.7 million

112 billion divided by 3.7 million = $30,270.27

I read somewhere this morning that giving them money and military aid iOS illegal since Ukraine is not part of of the UN?

[HYPOCRACY]

Good thing we have a Republican house to speak up for us. These clowns sicken me. That old bag grifter should be bombed in Ukraine.

[ifinnegan]

We and Russia did promise to protect Ukraine in return for Ukraine turning over their nuclear weapons to Russia.

[BradyLS]

We the People are tax-chattal to the elites.

[PubliusMM]

A duty? No. No, we don’t have a duty to protect Ukraine.
We have a duty to protect America.
Those two notions are NOT congruent in any way.

[Secret Agent Man]

Janet’s just demostrated she is both insane and knows nothing about the country’s constitutional duties.

[McGruff]

Give her a rifle and ship her to the Russian front.

[dragnet2]

The globalist are mocking us.

[Sequoyah101]

Really? I wish someone would tell me why is is so all important.

[lizma2]

“American taxpayers have a “moral duty” to defend Ukraine’s eastern border”

We have 70,000 - 100,000 of Americans dying/yr from fentanyl but WE DON”T PROTECTS OUR BORDERS!!!

Evil witch whose probably getting paid off by saying this crap.

[madison10]

No, we have no such obligation. We are not required to keep fat, overpaid congress critters perpetually wealthy.

[shadowlands1960]

Was that put into treaty form and approved by the Senate?

[SkyDancer]

No we don’t. We need to protect our border from illegal entry into our country.

[House Atreides]

West Point’s new motto:

“Duty, Honor, Ukraine”.
