For the people bitching about "Why do we send all this money to Ukraine?" it's because WE LITERALLY OWE THEM.
In the early 90's Ukraine was the third largest nuclear power in the world. We all signed a treaty: Ukraine gave up nukes, Russia would never invade them, & we'd defend Ukraine if they did.

A nuclear Germany. What could go wrong?
After that, it's gone forever.
Once the social contract is broken, it can't be mended.
The entire world just learned "America is NOT reliable for anything."
What's changed is that Trump has a very limited understanding of what is in America's interest, making America much more dangerously unpredictable.
Also Trump… fighting to save the world’s democracy… bad!
HE WORKS 4 Putin!
That agreement you all keep holding up as some sacred document was REJECTED by Congress in 1994. Never agreed to.
I wouldn't call it aligning with Russia or a Clinton deal.

Corruption allegations and charges are not uncommonly used to stifle critics.
Pay attention!
Qatar could and can easily feed every person in Gaza and spends the money on influence in the United States. Ukraine doesn't have that patron.
It works.
The ppl who hate Ukraine & hate Palestine are the same (MAGA)
THAT is the enemy. Not Palestine or activism around it.
I don't think Zelenskyy or Ukraine supporters helped elect Trump.
Now the US is cutting all aid, and Russia is very much a threat.
I am trying to use language these dummies will understand, but truthfully even if they understand, they won't care.
I genuinely believe that a lot of people forget the USSR and the Berlin Wall fell in only 1989. History and context matters.

The worst part? Broken deals fuel an arms race—proving treaties are worthless and every country needs its own weapons. And we all know where that leads.

Give up your nuclear weapons? America will just turn its back on you
Send your men to fight & die in America's wars? America will show gratitude for their lives by starting a trade war on their countrymen
When Ukraine petitioned to join NATO.
The U.S. backed the proposal.
But the same Europeans, who are now thumping their chests, rejected it for Ukraine - and Georgia.
And are mad we refuse to continue paying for their mess.
We have made a point to not just alienate our biggest allies, but to spit in their faces. To rip up our treaties & refuse to hold up our end once the deal is done.
I'm so sorry. I'm so angry. I will not stop fighting this.
I have never stopped fighting this man for 10 years, but his actions only ever get worse
We have let every country on earth know we don't respect their sovereignty. We might threaten to invade our friends!
If treaties are tossed when administrations change,
I cannot overstate the devastating implications of what this is doing to America's standing in the world, let alone what it will do to bring on a depression (recession) of epic proportions for the average American, when our trade deals turn to ash.
The US has shown that their only allies are Russia and North Korea.
Take a breath, pull on your boots, fuck decorum, let out a death scream and GOOOO!
All of it!
I want to share this everywhere, and I will definitely tell the locals.
Unfortunately, this sort of language is the only thing that gets through to most Americans because culturally we have been brainwashed to believe that if something doesn't directly produce instant money, it has no purpose
