Ukraine Funding: Just Another Transfer of (Your) Wealth

"Did it warm your heart to see all those blue and yellow Ukrainian flags waved by our elected officials in Congress Saturday night with the passage of the $60-plus-billion aid bill to the Palookaville of Europe? You realize, don’t you, that the tiny fraction of that hypothetical “money” — from our country’s empty treasury — that ever reaches Ukraine will rebound on the instant into Mr. Zelensky’s Cayman Islands bank account. The rest of the dough enters the recursive shell-game between US weapons-makers and the very hometown folks in Congress waving those blue and yellow flags, who will receive great greasy gobs of fresh “campaign donations” from the grateful bomb and missile producers. No wonder they’re cheering.

What the $60-plus-billion won’t do is provide any fresh arms and equipment to Ukraine’s sad-sack army soon enough to prevent Russia from bringing this cruel, stupid, and unnecessary war, which we started, to a close. Yes, we started it, not Russia, in 2014 with our Intel blob overthrowing elected President Viktor Yanukovych in the so-called “Maidan Revolution of Dignity” (what Wikipedia calls it). And for what reason? To jam Ukraine into NATO as a prelude to “weakening” Russia sufficient to bust it up and gain control over Russian oil, ores, and grain.

Yes, that was actually the neocon’s game, equal parts megalomania and hubris, a fiasco as strategically ill-fated as Hitler’s push to gain control of Russia’s oil fields via Stalingrad in 1942-3. With failure and humiliation looming in Ukraine, the blob’s objective for now, in theory, is the vain hope of prolonging the hostilities just long enough to get its hologram president, “Joe Biden” re-elected, so that said blob can continue its amoebic digestion of what’s left uneaten by it in our sore-beset republic. You’ve got to wonder, of course, what this blob thinks will remain to rule over when its done gobbling up everything and jailing everyone from sea to shining sea who objects."

An awesome way to fight against the filthy Russians.

I can’t believe how much support that the Russians have in/on America’s right.

Is it ALL because of Donny Bone Spurs?

That is what Putin wants you to think.

That's what Nazi sympathisers used to say about aid to Britain in WW2.

Putin is like the wizard of oz to these hippies.They think he has magical powers

[MiltantCentrist]

Most of that "Ukraine aid" is being spent right here with American weapons manufacturers.

Progressives throw the Putin support strawman at conservatives because they cannot defend their own support for throwing billions more dollars into what everybody knows is a lost cause, regardless how, or who, started the war.
