And there goes another $50bn of hard earned US tax dollars to Zelenskyy, to be distributed to the corrupt political elite who pose as our betters.

A special thanks to Kevin McCarthy for giving Biden his game plan, and also to our very own Ukraine cheerleaders who helped to empower Demented Joe.

And by “redder” they mean pro-American.

Lawmakers look to line their pockets with kickbacks before a new, redder Congress meets in January.

So the globalist commies gave away $130 billion of our money and all I got was a twitter flag.

Ukes apparently are on the run today in Kherson [in yet another ‘incredibly important’ city I’ve never heard of until 2 minutes ago], where they were supposedly ‘winning the war’. I doubt there will be much of a Uke left by Halloween.

So bish$t pissed away hundreds of billions in 2 wars in a single year and lost both in the most incompetent way possible. Now that’s what I call brilliance!

The Ukraine is best known as the “official U.S. Congressional Laundry Mat”.
It’s where hard-earned, U.S. taxpayer dollars go in, and multi-millionaire UniParty hacks come out.
There’s a whole host of folks in DC that should be arrested, tried, sentenced and publicly hanged.

So Democrats are admitting massive defeat in November, I guess Democrats should not waste their time even voting now.

McCarthy’s a genious.

I thought he was just stupid and demonstrating a lack of values in threatening the Ukraine aid.

But he’s prompted Congress to rush another $50 billion through.

Way to go McCarthy!!!!

I just wish I knew that this was what he intended.

Does a blackhole make a sound?

Welp, an answer was given a couple days ago.

“NASA is sharing the sound of a Blackhole....they have named it Ukraine”

Russian invasion has cost Ukraine almost $1 trillion, says Kyiv official
Published September 22, 2022 05:59 PM

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused almost $1 trillion of damage, a Kyiv government official said Thursday, as the war batters the country’s economy.

In terms of “direct and indirect costs” Ukraine had suffered “somewhere close to $1 trillion” in damages, said Oleg Ustenko, economic advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Jon,

The UK’s last payment of its $3.75 billion Anglo-American loan was on 29 December 2006; $83m USD. We paid it back over 60 years following a 10 year extension. Most would say the USA had a very high return on the investment - the UK revoked its world power status, you got expedited market access into the Commonwealth, and we spent far more than $40bn over the years on your stuff. You made your money back on it - tenfold.

But there was a lot of talk in America at the time to the effect of, you had better things to spend it on. In retrospect, would the USA have been far better off not getting that market access, not getting a tenfold ROI, but having $4bn more to play with?

It all depends on what America would have done with that $4bn.

Also, the cost of the Cold War to the USA was in the $8 trillion ballpark. If the antis had won their argument that the USA couldn’t afford to give a pal a $4bn loan even with 2% interest, how would they have responded to advance notice that the Cold War would cost $8tn?

Did the Cold War bankrupt the USA?

Thinking along the same lines...

Surely it’s only money down the drain if Ukraine loses, and Russia gets to fulfil its mission to take the Warsaw Pact countries back under the jackboot.

Do you really think the American economy would be in any better shape if Ukraine loses everything and Russia walks away with all the prizes?

(I think this is more likely than not, but cannot see how NATO losing, Russia winning, and China having a far easier time of annexing its neighbors benefits America at all.)
