The Hill ^ | 09/07/2023 | BY LAURA KELLY AND ARIS FOLLEY

Posted on 09/07/2023 11:33:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Leading Democrats and Republicans are unanimous in thinking that the United States should provide more military and financial assistance for Ukraine, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Thursday after a closed-door briefing on the state of the Russia-Ukraine war.

“The briefing made it so clear that we need to continue significant aid to Ukraine,” he told reporters.

We nuked Japan because they wouldn’t quit.

Will Russia nuke us because we wouldn’t quit?

95% of the money for Ukraine never leaves the USA.

“Nearly 95% of the discretionary spending for Ukraine goes to the Department of Defense and the State Department, which manages the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The remaining funds are dispersed among government and non-government agencies that provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees.”

“Will Russia nuke us because we wouldn’t quit?”

Russia can’t defeat Ukraine and you think they can take on NATO?

LOL.

So who does the incurred debt for these billions go to, Ukraine shill? EVERY extra penny we spend is deficit spending… and THAT’S THE TRUTH!

Whatever we spend in Ukraine is still cheaper than waging another fifty year long cold war with a resurgent Soviet Union.

…and THAT’S THE TRUTH!

They don’t have to win to nuke us. It is more likely if they perceive they are losing that they will nuke us. We could then reply in kind and then “win” this nuclear war.

Yeah right. “ We have to totally destroy Ukraine to save it” comes to mind with this administration.

“Japan had no viable response.”

Had Japan had nukes, unlike Russia, they likely would have used them first. I would suggest it is likely Russia would use them first.

Note that the figures and graphs are for aid “commitments”, not aid actually sent so far, which is much lower as much of said aid stretches out for up to several years.

We are losing, the collective West is going bankrupt, depleting our military, neglecting the welfare of America….and wait till you see the tab for rebuilding that corrupted nation.

That said, Vlad continues to pocket billions.

Point is, Japan had no response, so there is no comparison and your argument is irrelevant.

As for the present, I do not believe Russia is insane. You seem to think otherwise. Fair enough.

Even CBO is projecting "permanent" US deficits of 6-7% of GDP per year.

All of Washington DC's corrupt, progressive, expensive social-engineering schemes at home and abroad will sooner or later collapse.
