Russia's barbaric invasion of Ukraine prompted Germany to change its defense policy. They have decided to buy 34 F-35s. Each F-35 cost around $100M, so $215M is about the sale of two F-35s. Canada, too, changed their mind and bought 88 F-35s for $15B.
Yep. Dear god, if there weren't nukes in play if the Ukranians had F-35s and some support aircraft and gunships this would be an absolute bloodbath. Can't imagine what a few AC-130s and wharthogs would do to the Russians after getting crushed from the skies.
The F-35's are legitimately beating f-15s by 5 to 1 or more in demo combat. It's like a sword fight 5 on 1 where the 5 are blindfolded.
why are liberals so obsessed with Ukraine? They love flying the Ukraine flag on their house next to their blm sign. so cringe.
I don't get it either. Where were these liberal when the Russians were committing atrocities and war crimes in the Central African Republic and Syria? It's a rhetorical question that I already know the answer to.

I hope that you're being sarcastic. It's admirable that the U.S. is supporting the efforts of Ukraine to repel their Russian invaders but I'm troubled by the lack of accountability and transparency. How does the U.S. government know the that material and financial support being directed at Ukraine is going where it's intended? Aid to Ukraine is is becoming a huge money pit and fast beginning to resemble the biggest money laundering scam in the history of the republic. I don’t expect to see a detailed Excel spread sheet of what’s being spent in Ukraine (although that would be great). However, I do believe that the president and Congress need to explain to the American people how AND why our tax dollars are being spent in Ukraine. If Ukraine ultimately loses what happens to all the money and military hardware we’ve shipped over there? Anyone paying attention knows the answer to that. To the Victor Go the Spoils. Allowing millions in U.S. military equipment to fall into the hands of the Russians is unacceptable.

Oh wait, is this an admission from you that Russia is doing terrible and is getting beaten badly? lol.
Kinda hard to balance the whining about foreign aid with the narrative of Russia doing great.
No idea what you trying to say. I am only curious, how much those on charge of taxpayer dollars actually, added to aid out of their OWN money. It is rather easy to be generous with vague federal budget funds.

I believe that there has been a certain abandonment in the belief that it matter how much government spends. Trump got the republicans to give up on caring about spending limits and the democrats didnt really care already. So now you have everyone in government and the democrats and many republicans who just want government to spend endlessly.

Great, then the profits from those sales can be applied to aid for Ukraine, instead of taking it from the taxpayers.
