Will another billion dollars allay the Ukraine’s worries?
Joe...write’em a check.
For sure, we owe those crooks nothing.

Good news is, one of the first places Russia will nuke if there is a nuclear war, is DC.
Again with the false map. Do you not get tired of spreading Russian propaganda?
No offense to the Ukraine but people aren’t going to destroy their own economy forever just to help them out
In what part is it wrong?
the USA’s neocons have been instrumental in supporting the most radical, nationalist (some say neo-nazi) elements in Ukraine.
