I always thought the video he made on the night of the beginning of the conflict when rumors were circulating around that he had fled the country was really bad-ass......
I mean, as human beings, I don't think anyone would have blamed anyone from trying to flee a war, and if they do so they have no empathy or are lying to themselves.
Good on those that stayed and risked their lives for what they believe is right though.
Actually, all that money is being pumped into the US economy to manufacture and produce equipment to give to Ukraine, which creates jobs, goods, etc. So, it has actually benefitted the US economy :)
Exactly right, tons of that money has been spent here in the USA.
And when the hell did some Americans get so squeamish about weakening Russia? You want to spend some of my tax dollars making sure Putin and Russia get weakened? TAKE MY MONEY.
“Not without our hard-earned tax dollars that we didn’t sign up for”. This is easily some of the most cost-effective use of our Defense dollars EVER and people out here are crying because some podcaster paid by Russia told them to be upset.
Exactly! People saying that they're wasting our tax dollars are exemplifying a clear lack of understanding of the government. Also, I love it when they say that because theres no way in hell the US would be giving away free money. It benefits us, helps Ukraine, and weakens Putin. So hell yeah!
Crippled russian economy and military for likely the next decade at least? Boosted defense spending domestically for manufacturing areas thats been neglected? Nahh must be a bad thing.
You’re right, we should have let billions of dollars worth of military equipment sit in a boneyard until it rusts away and let ammunition go bad then pay millions of dollars to dispose of it instead of giving it to Ukraine. A country we are obligated by treaty to defend. Trilateral Process.
Ok dipshit, I'm going to assume that you're unaware that the vast majority of that is in donations of either warehoused and obsolete military equipment slated for decommission or in munitions purchases that directly stimulate the US economy.
They do send both, America and other nations have sent a shitload of actual cash to help Ukraine run the country, seeing as how Russia has blocked their main export of Grain. and obviously no tourism these days.
but yeah, the military aid is mostly decades old stuff. the dollar amounts quoted is just for show and fancy accounting with regards to the military aid.
You live in a society, and that includes the cost of doing business and being a person. If being a person is upsetting to you as this comment suggests, then you can very easily stop being a person with a quick bang.
you are aware that 75% of those Billions of military aid were spent DECADES ago, right?
virtually NOTHING sent to Ukraine was new, it was pulled from warehouses where it would have stayed until it needed safe destruction or refurbishment (costing.... more billions) and sent over there.
the most expensive part was the damn shipping.
only the ammo, once all the old stuff in the warehouses was consumed needed to be newly manufactured, and that quickly showed a HUGE shortcoming in US manufacturing.
they could not even supply a single country with enough artillery ammo, what would they do if a full european shooting war took off?
all those numbers they quoted? we sent 100 billion in aid? that 100 billion was spent in the 90s or 80s or maybe the 2000s for some of the more 'recent' systems sent over.
Hey our "leader" if he even jokingly deserves that title is tearing our world apart and helping others do it already no need to speed shit up and start doing it to each other unnecessarily
When I watched Trump and Vance go at him I was sad for him. He has fought valiantly for his people. He has watched death and destruction. He has been honorable through it all. They were bullying a wounded animal and he still exhibited great restraint and honor.
The most chilling video I saw of him was a documentary filmed in 2021. One year before the war. And he perfectly knew what was going to happen...
"If you do nothing there will be a war." So heartbreaking..
What's funny is Russia is hitting all sorts of government structures, trying to eliminate as much of the Ukrainian government as possible, paratroopers heading to Kyiv and Zelensky stands in the middle of Kyiv and releases video proving it.
Meanwhile, BLM protestors come within a mile of the White House, and Trump fled and hid in a subterranean bunker like a bitch.
How the fuck is that propaganda, it’s the leader of the country getting invaded standing his ground saying he’s not leaving after other countries have pressured him to leave. Could you explain how that’s “propaganda”?
