Big deal. We’ve sent Russia over $4 billion this year.

We still import about 800,000 barrels of oil from Russia per day. At around $100 per barrel that comes out to around $29.2 billion per year.

ByeDone 2024!

I think Hunter is doing crack in California. We don't need to send troops there. Not yet at least.

*800,000 barrels per day. And yes, we send much more $$$ to Russia than Ukraine.

This year alone so far Russia about $4.8 billion. Ukraine $1 billion.

That's a bad question. We do not want to have US troops engaging Russian troops. Period.

So far this year, the Biden administration has provided Ukraine with $1 billion in military and humanitarian aid, including $350 million announced yesterday.

Biden to send $350M in military aid to Ukraine

With this information now provided to the Biden haters, I predict that the same ones who said Biden wasn't doing anything to help them, will now come around and tell us that by sending them military aid, he is escalating the war, or something along those lines ...

... Which will only go to show that the Biden haters will simply make up anything they can to attack him, including changing their narrative willy-nilly as it's convenient for them.

For comparison, the annual US military budget is $780 billion; more than Russia's entire gold reserves. We spent $2.3 trillion on the war in Afghanistan.
