I agree with reallocating funds from other wasteful programs.
I agree we cant make EU do anything, but it just goes to prove the point. The EU has equal population to US and a significant GDP. Putin is using the push to put Ukraine in NATO as an excuse for war. Thats a line he will not cross.So if they want Uke to be a part of Nato, but will not even put up the cash and weapns to defend them now,why would they die for Ukraine. It would just expose the total farce of NATO and the impotent EU governments in general. They all cry if Uke falls, Putin will Invade some one else.Just so stupid. No one believes that. He cant advance in Ukraine now after 2 years. He has just got to get a cease fire with some territorial gains to save face. Russia is exhausted. Yes it would be a gimmick for all the right reasons.
As far as reelection, both sides, us and them give ourselves way to much credit. The political pundits all listen and think political junkies matter. We dont. Some liberal is sweet on Israel and the media goes beserk. The .03% of the liberal base demands action, threatens the dem and they get reelected anyway. 99% of people just dont care. 90% of people don’t even know who their reps are. Never enough people care about foreign aid to cost anyone their. Its fun to humor ourselves thinking the repubs care when freeperland gets in a tizzy. They dont cause they know we dont matter. No offense to you. Its just life.

Not true.
