It’s easy for people who are wealthy to say that we can endure higher costs for food and fuel to support Ukraine when it’s actually not easy for many. I’m not interested in millionaires telling me what I can afford.

Exactly this.
We are being told how to feel by the media. We are being sold a lie that Putin is an unhinged madman on a warpath.


We aren't told about how NATO keeps expanding since the end of the cold war, despite agreements not to, or that the US was involved in overthrowing a Russian friendly Ukrainian leader, or that Ukrainian neo-nazis have killed over 10k Russian in Donbas.

As one poster said, some sacrifices are unnecessary and this is one of them.

Maybe he could put forth some of that 14 million to assist Americans enduring the higher gas prices.

I’m not willing to make sacrifices for Ukraine’s freedom. If the war comes to our shores I’ll make sacrifices.

Ah, the old "I got mine, the heck with everyone else" that has made America the envy of the free world. Keep up the good work, I'm sure there's some kind of humanitarian award in it for you.

What an idiot.

AS YOU RECALL............................GAS PRICES WERE RISING FAR BEFORE THE UKRAINE WAR.

This is now Biden's excuse for sky high gasoline. Gas is sky high due to Biden's "green energy" idiocy and will not end when the war in Ukraine ends.

Prices were high before the invasion and they wouldn’t be as high if Biden had a better energy policy.

Just spent a few minutes on his FB page reading through his posts and the replies. I truly hope that the dolts that reply to his posts make up a small, very small portion of our society. If not...we are doomed. The movie Idiocracy is really becoming a documentary.
