War in Ukraine

Let’s borrow a few more trillion, it has no affect on the taxpayers.

You really should educate yourself before you post; you just look dumb.

How Much Aid Has the U.S. Sent Ukraine? Here Are Six Charts.

 

[BeardedVol]

Printing money doesn’t cost us taxpayers anything.

Stop pretending like the only reason the US runs a deficit is because of aid to Ukraine.

Military aid to Ukraine, or any country for that matter, has zero bearing on US debt policy.

 

[Velo Vol]

Oof.

 

[tvolsfan]

Oof.

If it needs to be done, it needs to be done.

Obviously the current strategy has issues. Will our coaching help? Presumably, though it isn't an automatic yes.

Giving Ukraine a circa 1980 HIMARS ain't printing money Sherlock.

So you are asserting that no cash has been given to Ukraine? Is this your argument?

Feel free to show a change in US debt policy, that is a direct result of giving monetary aid to Ukraine.

Surely I am misunderstanding, but US aid not contributing to our national debt is one of the strangest arguments I have ever witnessed on this forum. Paid for munitions are having to be replaced if that is some semantical angle being invoked.

Up to $135B of money we do not have.

US aid to Ukraine didn't, and doesn't affect US debt policy, which has been in place for decades.

If it wasn't spent on Ukraine, it would be spent somewhere else.

The only difference is that you (most likely) wouldn't be crying about it being spent.

Oh..so it is debt now but your sorry ass excuse is it will be spent elsewhere?

We have no debt policy change…of course we do. We have to prematurely raise the debt ceiling to pay for this ****..

So I take it you've been campaigning against the $150 billion or so, non-inflation adjusted dollars we've given to Israel?

And called on your congresspeople to rescind the $3.6 billion enshrined in law, that we give them every year now?

No?

I had been outspoken against the debt under Trump.
But that changes the subject of your original posts in which you infer that this debt spending doesn't increase inflation, which is rampant today but not in past.
Regardless, if you feel this debt spending is justified, then fine. But you seem to think there are no consequences..the proverbial have your cake and eat it to.

These are some of the troops the Kyiv regime is having to send to battle. You guys are evil going along with this nonsense.

With Prigozhin Presumed Dead, What Happens to the Wagner Group Now?

"The Biden administration has thus far resisted bi-partisan calls to slap the PMC with a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designation, putting it on the same footing as the likes of ISIS and al Qaeda."

Why?

As we can see by that chart, the U.S. debt resembles the solution to an exponential equation. Totally unsustainable.
