Good!!! Let's get it done and then hope that somehow Ukraine can bring Putin to a half. Or that the war starts to cost regular Russians so much that they do something radical. Like protesting the war at the Kremlin. The Russians aren't good at dissent. How can we help them?
Lets pray that it goes through.Remember the last time trump has obviously no problems committing sedition again.These are things that we need to be paying attention to just in case Congress doesnt do the right thing & not certify that election as they should that was neither Fair nor a free election
It's a rounding error. Especially when you consider the cost of us doing the fighting as part of NATO. If it stopped tomorrow, Russia's military threat to the west could take 50 years to rebuild. They're attacking on scooters FFS. This an opportunity to eliminate the threat for 100 years or more
What's the point of dropping all this money on them if we won't give Ukraine PERMISSION to win the war? Let them attack freely within Russian soil already.
Putin is an evil authoritarian. But remember almost everything you hear about Trump is coming from the same media outlets that sane washed Trump while calling Biden senile and Kamala DEI. They are lying. Our oligarchs can buy and sell Putin, they rule their employee Trump. https://youtu.be/CQyE9uqcHj8?si=emo2h1u3-M4J61z8
That's true but since Trump is a lying, grifting, greedy shyster it's pretty obvious that his biggest target is the 17.5 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and 148 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Greenland is owned by Denmark, part of the Viking Nations. FAFO
What a wonderful and smart President. No shitshow like the repeat we are going to get with this next scum asshole. At least we got a 4-year reprieve from the next steal of our pocketbooks! I hate the dumb shits that believed the orange pie hole’s lies.
Agreed 💯. And everything going to Israel should be going to Ukraine. Israel is exactly the same to Palestine what Russia is to Ukraine only on US steroids
This is one of the reasons Dems sat out of the last election btw. There’s money for WARS but no money for ME??? oh sweetie the money for the war is the money for you and you’re welcome your kids can go to a public school without scanning the sky for drones and missiles. Jfc I need a lobotomy
forgot to add that he signed a funding bill of $94 billion worth of military aid to israel (and ukraine and taiwan). so while he’s busing aiding ukraine, he’s actively funding a genocide.
none of these politicians will ever be fully righteous.
bro what??? i’m against all genocides no matter what. i don’t support russia and i think it’s very wrong what they’re doing to multiple countries. what i meant about my reply was that the american politics is corrupt and no matter what they do they’ll always be in the wrong.
Its not is it. When you consider the vast wealth of Musk and how he makes a mint from the US its nothing. His personal fortune is many times more that than.
Instead of jumping down my throat or attacking me can anyone just ask what I mean. I'm not a maga. I just want to stop funding forever wars and help people who are homeless and who are struggling with medical debt.
I bet a lot of things would get done if the homeless veterans had things like that... somehow I don't think these people who think it is money being given to Ukraine would approve of that though.
Pumpkin, the money does get spent on Raytheon, etc., and their employees to replace the equipment we send to Ukraine. Sorry it ain't all going to unicorns.
Calling this "more money for death merchants" isn't the flex you think it is. Most people understand the difference between right wing wars of choice and supporting a sovereign democracy that was invaded.
You want it over? Convince Putin to give up his unjust invasion and go home.
Are you sure?
I'd be happy to share your optimism, but the momentum that's building is disastrous for everyone.
If in the end the bastards die, it won't give life back to the innocent people drowned in this misery.
It's not just a question of money, it's also a question of blood.
Without us also having our share of blood to pay ?
No, I don't think that the Ukainians, will be able to defeat the Russian army, especially with the limited and ill-timed resources that we have.
And finally, Trump being President of the USA is not going to help.
There's total stagflation with around 20 % inflation, no workers, and a 21 %, national interest rate.
🇷🇺 Rubel has lost 30% against western currencies this year.
No one buys their National government bonds anymore.
Of course it’s not that simple because it’s not a YT straight male who needs equality, & ya, the states are a part of it; but a President making it a priority or pushing to get it done should have been the priority of the last 6 presidents. Including Biden, but he had Trumps mess to clear up. So…🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
"this financial package is part of a broader initiative under which the United States is providing $20 billion to Ukraine as part of the G7 initiative..." Thank you, President Biden! 💙
Yet, in the USA the homeless, hungry, healthcare crisis, wrongfully imprisoned, and solitary confinement... still grows with little help from the 🇺🇸government. No money available 😢
It appears the USA is defending Ukraine with 🇺🇸 taxpayers $$$. While at the same time mostly ignoring the needs of its own citizens, healthcare is an example. Also, giving the everyday-people's money to the millionaires/billionaires. Heartless, no conscience or soul.😢
If you want to fix those problems you're going to have to work harder getting rid of the Republicans that are more interested in tax breaks for the wealthy than fixing those problems.
It's not either or, we can do both if only we had the intestinal fortitude to show up reliably.
It's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine", the latter being a Soviet term for a region of Soviet Union and the former bring the actual name of an independent Ukraine.
Meanwhile, in Canada, the Conservatives are yanking benefits from veterans seniors and anybody else who contributed their whole lives. Pure Hate and Division.
War by proxy is expensive.
And here we sit with an idiot coming in who openly wants to take Panama and Greenland to give his pal Putin easier access.
We could use the 5.9 billion to finally convict Trump and company. Best $ we could spend
Harry Truman would have given them more to throw . Get it over with Joe as Russia is evil and Putin is too . Last year someone should have drug him to the World Court ! Has drumpf had phone talks with him since being out of Oval Office ? Has he !
Prepping Ukraine in circumstance that Trump does what we all think he’s gonna do and hold Ukraine hostage once again while Trump gets easily manipulated into becoming Putin’s Playboy.
That's almost two days of the US Military Budget... but it's probably delivered in a bunch of weapons that would have been replaced in the next five years anyway.
Sadly, this may be the last time we help Ukraine.
Once the felon and his oligarchs take over, Ukraine will need to rely on the EU/NATO for continuing support.
Dammit. 🤨
This gives me hope that the Biden admin is still running things and that they might not hand over power to President Musk and #Project2025 without a fight.
It shouldn’t Biden had checked out a long time ago. This is disgsuting theft from the Mariana public and MROE than likely millions r going into off short Accts of BIDENS
He already has it. A private citizen is directly I influencing legislation whilst throwing bitchfits on Twitter over people expressing opinions he disagrees with.
wauw!
186 people still die every day of poor healthcare!
every day! non stop!
5.900.000.000 it's great, giving money away while America itself is in debt right now,
36.000.000.000.000 :)
I wish i could do go to the bank and do that?
Read this to learn how a lot of the 💰 stays in the US and goes to our MIC to replenish the arms we send to Ukraine. It's not like they're getting pallets of 💰.
As President Biden hands over the reins to Donny DoPoos, America should feel real sorrow and shame at how many people treated one of the most able and effective presidents in US history.
Excellent news. The better news is that Ukraine is rapidly developing its own weaponry and won't be as dependent on aid. Ukraine developed and manufactured a drone-missile that travels at cruise missile speeds and can "loiter" and used it to bomb a pipeline from Russia through Belarus to Europe.
Rushi Sunak complained early in the war Ukraine had been turning into a investment opportunity. it was illegal to buy/sell agricultural land in Ukraine til 2020. Putin being one of the richest men was cut out of the land grab. His Chef lead the charge & bombed Farms. Ukrainians dont get to keep land
You can announce it all you want but you have 20 days to deliver it to Ukraine after that Putin's bitch will put a stop to all aid for Ukraine. You should probably just give Ukraine tactical nukes and delivery systems to ensure they can be used. That way Russia doesn't just steam roll Ukraine.
Americans aren’t beaten down. They are lazy and indifferent. The people of Georgia and Ukraine are far more beaten down and they resist daily. The problem is Americans have not experienced the things that they have. When they do, they will get off their asses.
A lot of them are obeying in advance. They have the chance now to demand better while President Biden is still around but once trump gets into office... that is going to make things just so much more difficult.
Listen —being against one shitty regime does not equate full support of the other. I’m for rabid criticism of it ALL. Love thy neighbor is the political ideology I subscribe too. I don’t care about “party’s” I care about people.
While those numbers look impressive, at the end of the day there will still be homeless people. Giving money is no more than a band-aid, society needs to adapt to help reduce the numbers of homeless people.
That will NEVER happen. Republicans and MAGA call that socialism or communism. The homeless people in this country will always be overlooked and mocked. "They should know better than to be poor."
The IFW Kiel Institute for the World Economy is tracking this. You can download a spreadsheet with all the numbers from their website. The gist is: up to october 31st 2024 the US has allocated 88 billion euro, Europe (EU institutions plus individual countries) has allocated 125 billion euro.
It is far more beneficial for America to continue sending older military surplus to Ukraine than lint for brains(Trump) & GOP Congress give the rich & wealthy huge tax cuts; which will add billions if not trillions to the national debt deficit. Magats lacks this level of understanding.
Compared to what? The amount we gave Afghanistan in the 80s? At least the Ukrainians won't come after us in a couple decades because Allah told them to.
It's still cheaper than a war.
I've never watched fox news... I have seen clips but watch more cnn clips than fox, but don't think I can name one 'pundit' on the network. Longest I've watched is when stewart destroyed tucker on that crossfire show but that's like 20 yrs ago
All hope isn't lost yet. Chaos surrounds Trump and he might yet swing wildly in another direction.
He was accused of using Russian influence last time and went on to be the first to provide lethal aid to Ukraine. (Then swung the other way with the whole Hunter Biden bribe thing...)
I don’t know but I have a feeling we could use $5.9 BILLION at home. Perhaps helping the disadvantaged, fixing the roads, helping moms with newborns so they don’t have to rush back to work to survive. But that’s just me. I hate wars and I hate everyone who supports them and profits from them.
This is 100% necessary, we need to help the people of Ukraine. Of course, it would be nice to use the money elsewhere but we get that money from other places. Like not giving subsidies to billionaires.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 defense is a worthy a cause as there ever was. Imagine Putin's money and military NOT tied up in that messy conflict right now... he would be (and perhaps is yet to be) emboldened for God knows what's next.
Spending $6B out of our soon-to-be trillion dollar "defense" budget to help Ukraine (a) stay free and (b) destroy a significant chunk of Russia's ability to invade and oppress other countries is not the problem.
The other $994B of that $1T is where we should be looking for savings.
They can have free Healthcare and free education because they don't get shit else. And without it there would be rioting in the streets. Americans are too distracted to riot over lack of healthcare/ed, but these issues are coming ever more into focus thank goodness.
This is great. donnie and elon are chomping at the bit to turn Ukraine over to Putin. Without U.S. support not sure other nations can provide enough for Ukraine to succeed
I can only hope that US weapons manufacturers are friends with Donnie and urge him to continue to supply Ukraine. The only way to appeal to Donnie is thru his wallet. He has no loyalty.
I’m hoping your wrong about that. The other countries will still be helping them so they won’t be totally without funding. Keeping my fingers crossed that the war will end soon with Ukraine and the 🍊🐀 doesn’t start and more
What’s significant is how this admin slow rolled needed munitions and weapons platforms handcuffing Ukraine’s defense at critical junctures. They gave them just enough to keep them in the fight while making sure more soldiers died from lack of ammunition. History won’t remember this strategy fondly.
At least he's not sending billions upon billions to assist the deaths of hundreds of thousands of human beings, and he will not do so come January 20th. Jan 20 couldn't come fast enough
So you think not helping Ukraine will stop people dying? They are being invaded, people will still die. Russia isn’t known for its peaceful occupations. And judging by the fact that everything tangerine said he would do, he’s is backtracking on now he’s been elected, I wouldn’t put hold your breath
Just because the organs of government are captured. We the people are not. The people are the body of this nation. This bribery, infidelity and various corruption but symptoms of an infection. We shake off our apathy and enrich our diet. Gather together become immune to division.♥️🔄

America will always stand with Ukraine. The question is whether Trump is actually American.
STOP THE KNEEL!
Resist.

The Palestinian Holocaust happening in front of our eyes, you should open yours too

Great work Joe.
Capitalism is destroying what's left of our Republic.
You want it over? Convince Putin to give up his unjust invasion and go home.
They want your children straight, white, armed and angry.
MAGA must Lie, Cheat and Steal! Abortion. Guns. Equality. End Christian nationalism!Maga is the CONFEDERACY!!

Are you sure we don't have a massive problem ?

It's not just a question of money, it's also a question of blood.
A Russian victory is a total death sentence to all of Ukraine.
There will be millions of Ukrainians in Putlers concentration camps.
There is no scenario where Ukraine can stop fighting this war and still continue to exist.
No, I don't think that the Ukainians, will be able to defeat the Russian army, especially with the limited and ill-timed resources that we have.
And finally, Trump being President of the USA is not going to help.

Their economy is worse than 1989.
Now, please ratify the US ERA… like soon, before MAGA has their way with it.
Better to send those bombs to Ukraine to defend itself against your enemies.
Racism and fascism are deeply rooted in much of the population of the US. Education will help with that more than old weapons systems.
What the US is doing right now is the bare minimum as far as I'm concerned.
It's not either or, we can do both if only we had the intestinal fortitude to show up reliably.
And here we sit with an idiot coming in who openly wants to take Panama and Greenland to give his pal Putin easier access.

The number is just the estimated value of all that stuff.

1. Low-cost meals ($2 per meal)
$5,900,000,000 ÷ $2 = 2.95 billion meals
2. Moderate-cost meals ($3 per meal)
$5,900,000,000 ÷ $3 = 1.97 billion meals
3. Higher-cost meals ($5 per meal)
$5,900,000,000 ÷ $5 = 1.18 billion meal

Priceless!

Or perhaps giving those bombs to the disadvantaged and moms with newborns?
Either way, no loss. Block it.
