Tax dollars to provide weapons of war.......

my tax dollars are going to provide Ukraine with 142 155mm Howitzers and up to 810,000 155mm artillery rounds;
2,500 precision-guided 155mm artillery rounds;
1,000 155mm rounds of Remote Anti-Armor Mine (RAAM) Systems;
36 105mm Howitzers and 180,000 105mm artillery rounds;
126 Tactical Vehicles to tow 155mm Howitzers;
22 Tactical Vehicles to recover equipment;
20 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and ammunition;
20 120mm mortar systems and 115,000 rounds of 120mm mortar rounds;
1,500 Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
Four Command Post vehicles;
Eight National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) and munitions;
High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs);

I'm against it, it's illegal and it's corruption.

@Roundandroundwego Da. Is true.

@LeopoldBloom English only, of course. Ik spreek geen ander taal.

@Roundandroundwego I assumed you were a Russian shill if you think our military aid to Ukraine (which started under your orange savior by the way) is "illegal" or "corrupt."

@LeopoldBloom proxy wars are illegal, the NATO presence is illegal, against the responsibility to negotiate peace before going to war. It's up to you whether we can or should outlaw war - apparently you may have indefensible ethics if you have the fire power.

LeopoldBloom · M

@Roundandroundwego It's not a proxy war. NATO is not present, and Zelensky is ready to negotiate Putin's surrender anytime. It's very telling that you're ignoring Putin's invasion of a sovereign country which is also illegal.

@LeopoldBloom Antony Blinkin said it was a proxy war. Isn't he a US spokesman,?

LeopoldBloom · M

@Roundandroundwego Please provide a citation for your claim that Blinken said that. All I can find is a statement by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in April after a meeting with Zelensky that "“our focus in the meeting was to talk about those things that would enable us to win the current fight and also build for tomorrow.” His use of "us" in reference to the "current fight" was taken by some people to imply that the U.S. is a partner in the conflict and therefore engaged in a "proxy war." In other words, based on a pronoun. If you can find a better quote, please share it.

Also, under what authority are proxy wars illegal? I've looked and I can't find anything. The US provides military aid to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and many other countries - are we engaged in a "proxy war" whenever any of them engage in hostilities?
