Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated Sunday that the United States is “not funding” war in his country, emphasizing that the U.S. is helping protect democracy throughout the region.

NBC host Kristen Welker asked Zelensky on “Meet the Press” how long Americans can expect to fund the war in Ukraine,” noting that there has been some strong opposition to sending additional aid to the country. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is doing the fighting and the U.S. is only providing the munitions.

Unfortunately the Russians figured out that Zelensky and his band of thieves are going an incredible amount of damage to the US and won’t take him out

We held elections in the middle of the Civil War and during WWII.

Sure, because the confederates were bombing every northern city and the nazis were bombing US cities. Okay

England during WW2 postponed elections.

"In the Ukraine bill, of the $60.7bn, a total of about $23bn would be used by the US to replenish its military stockpiles, opening the door to future US military transfers to Ukraine. Another $14bn would go to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, in which the Pentagon buys advanced new weapon systems for the Ukrainian military directly from US defence contractors.

There is also more than $11bn to fund current US military operations in the region, enhancing the capabilities of the Ukrainian military and fostering intelligence collaboration between Kyiv and Washington; and about $8bn in non-military assistance, such as helping Ukraine’s government continue basic operations, including the payment of salaries and pensions."

Churchill also made sure that the War Cabinet was equally distributed amongst the three major British parties.

The Confederates were all around DC in the Civil war, at some points within 12 miles. They were rampaging through Pennsylvania. But you as a european wouldn’t know that.

The Uke government worships Bandera. The construct monuments, name streets after SS “heroes”. They have veterans SS marches to this day.
Then ban political opposition, close churches, arrest monks, cancel elections, etc.

They are the heirs of the Reich.

I would say that it is 15/16 that agree.

“Unfortunately the Russians figured out that Zelensky and his band of thieves are going to do an incredible amount of damage to the US and won’t take him out.”

Exactly right. And this is why Russia is win this war. And not just against the Ukraine, but against us at the same time. They are using our own ignorance against ourselves as a weapon. And we are playing right into it lock stock and barrel.

Islam did the same thing with 9-11. They are ecstatic that U.S. citizens allowed themselves to be enslaved by their own government in the name of safety. In fact we begged for and welcomed our own enslavement and STILL DO.

If Trump is against it then the democrats are for it and vice versa

“would say that it is 15/16 that agree.”

I stand corrected. I guess I was trying to give benefit of doubt that there were more intelligent folks here than that.

Be honest. Civil War history buff and have visited many of the battlefields. Almost ALL of them are in the south. Most of the north was never attacked.

Then ban political opposition, close churches, arrest monks, cancel elections, etc

11 pro-Ruusian parties out of more than 300 were banned AFTER the invasion. Moscow led Russian Orthodox Church was banned when they supported the invasion and have now called it a Holy War. ALL other Christian churches are operating under complete freedom.

vs the Russians that are closing ALL churches that are not under Kremlin control; Baptist, Protestant, Catholic, etc.

[DesertRhino]

You are supporting actual nazis. Make all the excuses you want.

Kiev is thankfully being defeated. And that is good for freedom everywhere.

[Blue Highway]

He just grifted over $60BILLION from us and the US isn’t funding the war?

[tlozo]

You are supporting actual nazis

Sure, Jewish nazis fighting to the death to defend a Jewish Ukrainian president. Makes sense. Or maybe, anyone who opposes Russia is called a nazi?

Right, America is funding Ukrainian bureaucratic retirement accounts.

He can make all the demands he wants, it doesn't change the fact that we don't have what he needs. America doesn't produce the weapons and ammunition at a pace that can support this war. We also can't replace the men who were killed and wounded over the last two years. The only thing that happens from prolonging the war is more dead Ukrainians and more lost territory. Zelensky blew it when he didn't take the opportunity to end the war in the first few weeks. He let that fat Brit shut down any negotiations with Russia. He would have saved a lot of lives and territory if he put his country's interests ahead of the globalist.
