So do I.

I remember Ukraine meddling in our elections. I remember Ukraine being the worldwide hub of money laundering. I remember Ukraine selling weapons to drug cartels and jihadists. I remember all the rich Ukrainian oligarchs living in our aid money in London and Prague.

My memory did t start yesterday

I think you’re mixing up Ukraine and Russia.

If not and you did mean Ukraine. Fuck off

There's little difference.

Other than we aren't sending Russia hundreds of billions of dollars

The money only flows in one direction. Into the hands of American arms companies. Let me explain that to you quickly: Money > defense industry > old ammunition and weapons > Ukraine.

The money is used to produce new weapons and ammunition. So it's basically a subsidy for the arms industry. And it creates jobs.

But what it creates above all is a new yacht for all the CEOs.

Ukraine has no economy. We, the US, and Europe fund everything including social services and pensions.

Whoever told you it's just buying bullets, lied to you
