War in Ukraine

[volgr]

The total committed this far is ridiculous and way too much and you know how I feel on supporting this effort. It’s out of control.

In fact I can’t see how they could possibly spend what’s been committed before this possible new bucket in continuing to arm Ukraine at the present weapons supply levels.

Almost like a peace deal should have been negotiated back in Jan/Feb.

Well your man crush chose to invade so here we are Larry!

Money spent on Ukraine is chump change compared to what’s being wasted here at home. At least it’s being wasted on a better cause than **** here. IMO

I want to say the last committed dollar amount was $65B? But I read something recently they’ve only spent $13.7B since the outbreak of hostilities? At that rate there’s like 2.5 years left in the checking account and this thing can’t last that long. Doesn’t add up.

Maybe it is only half. These packages included our own refurbishment
We give them say 13B of weapons from stock and have to replenish our stock with another 13B. Looks better on paper as a 26B package. IDK.

This will be peanuts to the rebuild though.

We shouldn’t spend a penny on the rebuild. That is 100% a European problem. You know I feel that we have obligations on defense but this is ridiculous. And after ponying all that defense money off we absolutely should tell Europe to handle it.

They're laundering money, that's all it can be and I would bet Rootin Putin is getting his fair share out of it.

I hope Germany and the EU get bent over..not counting on it as we are Uncle Sugar.
Imagine all those freezing Euros being told to pay for a nation rebuild?
Once this is over..Ukraine will want a bunch of military assistance as well. The money will be flyin

It's getting comical now. Like it's not even real money.

Been that way since the mid 2000's unfortunately.

I think Biden is assuming this is his last chance to get money in the budget and it has to last through the end of his term.

You can sure bet that not all that money is going for weapons only. Some back here are getting their cut for sure.

So basically the Democrats are trying to front load war spending because they’re worried the Republicans will cut off war spending once they get control of Congress back.

What a world

The history of the whole area does support your claim that’s for sure.

back here, over there and elsewhere are getting their cut

EU countries traded with Russia without an issue, why would Ukraine have been barred from continuing to trade with Russia?

Don't ask me. Ask the people that set up the EU deal in 2013 that Yanukovych was supposed to agree to.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

More money and weapons, but no diplomacy.

US Congress looks to approve $50 billion in Ukraine aid, NBC reports (yahoo.com)

The diplomacy is very straight forward Moe. All Russian orcs occupying Ukraine in all areas including Crimea pack up and withdraw to Russian sovereign land (no… that doesn’t mean occupied Ukraine land). Then talks can start in earnest.

Can you post a link showing that if he would have signed it Ukraine would have been barred from trading with Russia?

Narrator: No. No in fact he can’t.

The civilians in Kyiv better bunker down. This act of terrorism will not go unpunished.

You cant complain about US funding and also have such idiotic expectations. Pick one.

Nah I’m good. I can in fact do both Larry and will continue to do so. Had your idiot orc leader minded his own ass there would be no need for the spending. Run along and find those “blood bath” in Kherson links now
