40 billion could have gone to combat the crime crisis, the economic crisis, or the border crisis in our own country, yet the government sends it to Ukraine.
So are the millions of voters highly corrupt, who vote to keep their incumbent people in Congress for every term. Surely lots of them are getting old after approving of the U. S. to go to war against Iraq in 2003. Why reward them endlessly for being corrupt and stupid as well?
The US military budget in 2021 was $801 Billion - that pretty much amounts to a huge subsidy (welfare) for a giant sector of the US population/economy.
Given that the entire military expenditure is ostensibly to keep us safe from military threats, Russia being the biggest one, it doesn't seem any more excessive than for example - $135 million for each Lockheed F35 fighter jet (plus hundreds of millions more in maintenance)
And after the U. S. spending all that money on the military, some people think Russia has the superior military equipment, including better fighter jets.

LOL. Our BLACK projects, budget is higher then all of Russia military budget. They DO have some decent tanks and equipment. And virtually none of them. Because they cannot build them in any quantity.
But theyve remained a serious military threat, with a ton of firepower, and a willingness to throw folks into the lawnmower of war. This is a good shot at removing them from the board. We should take it.
Honestly? I had hoped that we would remove them from the threat board post collapse. That they would be good neighbors. Pretty sad to see it hasnt gone that way.

Well, once again, I don't see most people having the willpower to vote out their incumbent Congress people. Most people in this forum would never do it in a million years, if it means voting for a Democrat. So, dream on Dreamweaver.
And you have to wonder how much of that 40 billion will actually get to the Ukraine, and how much of it is earmarked for other items Congress doesn't want the American people to know about.
Or if it gets to Ukraine and on the way to the eastern front, how much of it will be destroyed by Russia fighter jets before it can get there? If true, Russia rules the air in Ukraine, then NATO better figure out how to secure the military aid.

4 months ago before the invasion, was $40B earmarked to do the things you stated? It's your wishful thinking that if we didn't invade or help another country, then Americans would get to enjoy that money.
We are basically funding their war. Just no boots on the ground. No different than Iraq...someone else is just doing the fighting at our expense.
Right. It's all about promoting the military government industrial complex. If you bought stock in Raytheon in January, chances are you're still not losing money from the recent big downturn in stocks.
Nice spew of insults there! That's what a person does who's got nothing. Note that I said nothing about Republicans, only Carlson. Apparently reading comprehension is above your pay grade.
Carlson is well known for being a puppet of Putin, just like your dear Trump was.
You are the one calling Tucker a Putin traitor with No evidence and now act that you are the one being attacked.
Has Tucker sold arms to Putin or bought oil from him? or got paid for giving speeches in Russia or got millions of dollars from Russians for his foundation in exchange for an Uranium deal to Russia like the Clintons?Any direct connection? Nah, you just repeat garbage.
So Putin expands under Obama and now Biden but Trump and Tucker are the Putin traitors. Liberal thinking.
So anybody that questions the American Foreign policy of the Ukraine aid and the goal to takeout a sitting Super Nuclear power President of 6,000 nukes with the 2nd best military in the world while ignoring Americans and our own country must be a Putin traitor. Don't think so hard.
