I have it on good authority that the US is a 'democracy' with 'rule of law' and that the executive cannot unilaterally make such spending decisions now that the House does not even have a speaker. Sounds very... autocratic.
I don't care about Ukraine. Stop sending them money because it only means you're going to end up printing more money and robbing me via devaluing the dollars I have in my bank account.
This whole stupid sentiment is something entirely new and so bizarre. When South Vietnam, which wouldn't actually fight, was made perhaps the fourth top (conventional) military power in the world during Vietnamization, the idea was that the "Asian boys" should be fighting for their country instead of the "American boys", after tens of thousands of the latter died. They didn't really fight anyway. Now, it's some crocodile (because you don't actually care about them, nor their families) crying about how the Ukrainians (or "the nationalists", as Russia calls them derisively) are indeed "fighting to the last Ukrainian" for their country, instead of celebrating that the "White boys" actually fight like lions while the "Americans boys" don't need to do it at all whatsoever, with barely anything being sent compared to Cold War efforts, while just demolishing one of the two main global adversaries directly. It's like if you didn't have to worry about losing your entire fleet for Taiwan and instead Taiwain would defend itself if you just send them a couple ships, and so hard that there would be talk of the end of the PR China, but you would still whine about it because these few ships defending Taiwan and destroying China with zero American military loss of life "were paid for by the taxpayer".
Lmao "biolabs", America was paying for decomissioning the old Soviet facilities - just like America paid for the total either destruction or transfer to Russia of the massive Ukrainian nuclear arsenal (it was third largest in the world in 1992, greater than China's ever was).
Israel refuses to give them anything, expect the old license to produce Israeli design rifles in Ukraine, because they're not "buddy-buddy".
And no one cares about your fuck. If you want to make a difference as an individual, go to #FreezeForUkraine in a Russian trench.
And I'm not fighting, of course (a number of our citizens do, mostly with double citizenships or Ukrainian ethnic roots), but I'm very glad that "my taxpayer" weapons and ammunition goes there too.
Israel never militarily assisted America or any of American allies in anything ever, instead they transferred American military tech and other secrets (including these stolen by Israeli spies) to China, and for example currently are arming Azerbaijan while America tries to save Armenia.
demolishing one of the two main global adversaries directly
As a white American, why would I consider Russia my adversary? I'm not so naive as to view them as an ally, but why an adversary? Just because Russia is America's ruling class's adversary doesn't make them mine. America's ruling class is by far my biggest adversary. It's an existential threat.
Ukrainians (or "the nationalists", as Russia calls them derisively) are indeed "fighting to the last Ukrainian" for their country,
If they are fighting for their country, they are going to have to stave off the Russian invasion only to turn all that NATO hardware on the empire that sent it to them. They have no future under the GAE's umbrella, and neither does your Poland. You have only to look at the increasingly bleak prospects white Americans are facing to understand that.
Do you think the Ukrainians understand that? That's not a rhetorical question. I wonder what you see. From a distance, I almost get the impression that some of them do, but you are much closer to it than I am.
Because they want you dead? Even if it means them dying too, as with their new cope fantasy about them triggering targeting Yellowstone supervulcano.
Azov guys have been saying for years they're going to "liberate Europe" in a "final crusade against the Jewish led untermenschen" lol (that's really extreme for me, actually, and their aptly named Misanthropic Division international contingent goes way beyond even fedposting).
Russia hates white Americans at an existential level? That's strange considering they sheltered Snowden.
Azov guys have been saying for years they're going to "liberate Europe" in a "final crusade against the Jewish led untermensch" lol
I know. On the other hand, Zelensky is the prez, and aligning with the US seems like the worst way possible to achieve that. I hope those guys are prepared for the inevitable betrayal because there is no way the GAE is going to just let them stay around after the fighting with Russia stops.
Also it's funny but they seem to prefer weapons like the Panzerfaust 3 and the MG3 (basically MG42 rechambered) for their job of killing the guys with Soviet flags.
Russia's sample cope doomsday scenario of triggering the Yellowstone extinction event as a random tankie excites about it (his next post is about their threats to melt the polar capes to flood the world, there's a lot of it): https://twitter.com/Ukraine66251776/status/1578216636280094724
That's normal in Russia, in addition to good old framing of just nuking America (and getting nuked back). I laugh about that as I find it hilarious, but it's them dreaming about killing you and everyone you know in all these James Bond villain ways (one common cope threat that was used many times of their state TV is a Poseidon drone flooding Europe with radioactive tsunami).
I used to feel sort of bad for the Ukrainians but the fact they haven't risen up and deposed their bloodthirsty tyrant of a leader by now, means Putin will be entirely justified in killing every single one of them that hasn't fled.
So we are at 103 billion for us funding versus 46 billion funding for Russia, apparently Americans forgot how we won the initial Middle East wars with the USSR
There's a part of me that has to be cynical about plowing ludicrous amounts of treasure into other people's border disputes. Ok that would be all of me.
It's not "border", it's the entire country (largest in Europe, feeding much of the world, and with other things like the untapped massive gas fields second only to Norway's in Europe).
Or rather 2 countries, because it's about the fate of the successor state to the Soviet Union.
Anyway, do you know what is America's annual defense budget during peacetime?
I have it on good authority that the US is a 'democracy' with 'rule of law' and that the executive cannot unilaterally make such spending decisions now that the House does not even have a speaker. Sounds very... autocratic.
Doesn't Congress pass money for Ukraine constantly?
It does. But was this 'aid package' passed?
Autocratic is a rule of law.
I don't care about Ukraine. Stop sending them money because it only means you're going to end up printing more money and robbing me via devaluing the dollars I have in my bank account.
Remember, they are actively stealing from you, your family, and everyone you know.
You are morally and ethically justified to react accordingly.
It's weapons rather than money.
It's the same if the government payed for them.
That's the same thing.

Ukraine gives you, directly, for example most of the halon gas you use to produce computer chips in America (and half of all in the world: https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-ukraine-halts-half-worlds-neon-output-chips-clouding-outlook-2022-03-11/).

And speaking of these spies, and "ally", https://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-usa-pollard-idUSKBN29406W (that "a country that treats its ally with respect and wisdom" line lmao).
And I'm not fighting, of course (a number of our citizens do, mostly with double citizenships or Ukrainian ethnic roots), but I'm very glad that "my taxpayer" weapons and ammunition goes there too.

Also Azov's just got a new brigade (in the Army now, as the song goes, this one). https://militaryland.net/news/a-new-assault-brigade-was-formed-in-the-army/

Biden pulle out of afghanistan.
Within a few months suddenly a war breaks out with russia, and weapons manufacturers start making billions again.
Gee, I wonder if someone set this up for profit or something?
I hope Putin wins. I hope he wins and it's bloody as hell. I hope he retaliates against the west and makes the political elites suffer.
I used to feel sort of bad for the Ukrainians but the fact they haven't risen up and deposed their bloodthirsty tyrant of a leader by now, means Putin will be entirely justified in killing every single one of them that hasn't fled.
'Murica is ready to fight Russia to the last Ukranian for
the right to sell Europe over priced gaserrrr, Democracy' n' shit!So we are at 103 billion for us funding versus 46 billion funding for Russia, apparently Americans forgot how we won the initial Middle East wars with the USSR
There's a part of me that has to be cynical about plowing ludicrous amounts of treasure into other people's border disputes. Ok that would be all of me.
$46 billion could secure our southern border about nine times over. What a farce. Our government is openly corrupt and illegitimate.
Yeah they gotta keep out Russians. We just gotta keep out Guatemalans.
It's not "border", it's the entire country (largest in Europe, feeding much of the world, and with other things like the untapped massive gas fields second only to Norway's in Europe).
Or rather 2 countries, because it's about the fate of the successor state to the Soviet Union.
Anyway, do you know what is America's annual defense budget during peacetime?
I promise there will be two countries when it's done.
No
American defines budget in 2021 was 800 billion.
Fucking finally. They've been charging with "armored" Humvees armed with .50s.
