This Ukranian war didn't have to be. In the 1990s Russia actually requested membership to NATO and the EU. But President Clinton refused to allow it. Interesting that the elder Paul said you promote world peace by promoting free trade. I'm gladder that I never voted for Clinton.

Yep, I agree with you 100%.

I'd also add for the Biden Administration to do something about inflation. I read an article this evening that says the U.S.D.A expects food prices to climb another 5-6%.

$40 billion for Ukraine, in addition to the approximately $19 billion already given is unnacceptable.

Jill went over there last week to confirm the deal is still intact, & Mrs. Z confirmed it...."$36B for us, & $4B will be wired into the Biden family crime syndicates Swiss bank account, where it can't be traced, or taxed."

Why do you think they were both smiling the whole time in the middle of a war zone?

Here's the problem Right here... 'Incorrect Thinking' ~
  • Who told you Putin was the next Hitler?
  • Do you know anything about Hitler?
  • Have you read/studied WW2?
  • Why did WW2 happen?
PPL...when will they ever learn?
(probably never).
Bo Jiden is more of a Hitler than Putin.. you really need an education!
You know that Ukraine voted for the idiot they have in charge?
Ukraine government is one of the most corrupt in the world?
Ukraine voted against joining NATO but 'Now Want' NATO's backing and Help! (you knew that right)?

Yes Indeed... i never voted to give money to a Corrupt Gov. ?

Blow Jiden did....(of course he did it to keep a lid on his corrupt dealings with that country). Was Hunter involved with this Gov. ? _____Wasn't Ukraine the Country that 'Blow Jiden' threatened to with-hold $ Billions from unless they got rid of their prosecutor who was investigating Hunter?

What a Corrupt Administration we have....thanks in kind to the Leftoids who voted for him! (Of Course it was a perfectly legit Election...~)

We have American Fools who 'think' its an Admirable and Patriotic duty to support a Corrupt Regime.

Suckers........~

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.
Are you usually so hawkish? Or did you spend every day from 2003-2009 complaining about the Iraq war, and how awful our even being there was? We aren't removing Russia from any board. Hitler, Napoleon, and Charles XII never did any such thing, but you think that our sending money to Ukraine will accomplish that?

We don't even have enough baby formula to supply mothers we are looking like a third world country.


When will the US realize, Ukraine isn't going to win this war and the 40 billion could be better spent in the United States? After the war ends, the US will be responsible for rebuilding Ukraine, not Russia.
