The Biden administration will send $3.75 billion in new military assistance to Ukraine and other countries related to Russia’s war that has lasted more than 10 months.

We’ll share what’s in it plus details on a trip two U.S. senators took to Ukraine, the new U.S. sanctions targeting Iran and a day of remembrance on the second anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol Building.

Geezus H. Crimany! We just gave those grifters $40 billion and now we’re giving them another $3.75 billion?!

When does this insanity end? Ukraine is the newest version of the Ronald McDonald House. It’s a black hole for tax payer money.

I recall seeing a comedian back on 1992 at the Ice House in Burbank. He said he just came back from doing a fund raising gig for The Ronald McDonald House. He said: “McDonald’s has been building that f*ing house for over 20 years at a cost of millions of dollars per year. How big of f*ing house does that f*ing clown need?!”

Escalation. The West has much blood on their hands.

That said, combined with what little the EU has left to give away, seems like the Ukies are in a hard spot…..I wonder when ” the last” Ukrainian is finally interviewed, will he think it was worth it all ?

Far worse, it is a now the world’s largest Welfare nation, totally dependent on the collective West for existence. Doesn’t any one realize how disgusting this is?

Aw, c’mon man! How about some REAL dollars? Why not $3.75 TRILLION! Volodymyr needs a new Porsche and another Swiss bank account. Besides, his boss, ‘der Führer und Reichskanzler’ K(louse) Schwab, needs many billions more, to bribe even more pols to let them take over and liquidate the old, the weak, and those that exercise critical thinking. STPO BEING SO STINGY, BIDEN!

How do you imagine this works?

Here is the list:

Is Biden going to keep 45 Bradleys for himself and only send 5?

No, he gets the cash laundered back after Ukraine sells the equipment to the highest bidder.

Duh.

But you knew that. You’re just playing pedantic semantic games.

U.S. troops get a box of rocks.

We need to round up every illegal alien we can find an dump them all in front of the White House.

50,000 to 100,000 a month so they stack up and clog THEIR systems.

There’s Twitter threads forming documenting how bots pushed the “Yay Ukraine!” side and twitter looked the other way, while squashing any trending pro-Russia trends.

And it’s looking like a massive, organized effort funded and set up by (drum roll) the US Intelligence Community, with previous USIC folks in high level social media jobs.

The USIC sways US public opinion via control of censorship of social media.

If these aren’t mandatory life imprisonment crimes, the sure as hell should be.

I already know that too. You have nothing.

Billions for Ukraine. But they didn’t want to spend any money for a border wall for OUR security.

I don't know why we are at war with Russia using Ukraine as a proxy, the enemy is in D.C.

the only true enemy of the American People is it's own "government" which has evolved into a crime syndicate

wake me up if a serious uprising occurs

I think it’s no coincidence that Iraq did what they did today

To cement the narrative
