If it didn’t hurt us so much; I could almost wish that zelensky would bleed the Bidumb dry.
Zelensky: Hey Big Guy, you know that billion we got? Thanks for it but after spreading it around to my cronies and splitting up the rest to you and your cronies in America, I need more money that might have a small portion actually go to the war effort. Whatchathink?
Yeah, right.
Actually it was one of those sneaky Russkies impersonating Zelensky...

Biden should have just put on his sunglasses and Zelenski would of been shaking in fear.
