Support for Ukraine: Time for a Clear Decision

Since the start of the war, Ukraine has received significant support from the EU and the USA, totaling approximately $332 billion. The EU has contributed around $162 billion, while the USA has provided about $175 billion.

Now, we must make a clear decision: Either we end the support and give nothing more, effectively ending the war, or we provide Ukraine with enough resources to actually drive Russia out of their country and thereby end the war. This constant "giving a little" is not enough to maintain the status quo and will keep the war dragging on for decades. It is time to take a decisive stance and either fully support the conflict or cease aid entirely.

I vote we stop giving away taxpayer dollars to one of the most corrupt nations in Europe and instead spend it on our own national security and prosperity.

@SlaveEt and give over the country and people of Ukraine to Putin? Really?

@SlaveEt Ukraine is kicking the barbarians while using the West's obsolete and surplus equipment.

We'll never get better value for money, and it's hilarious watching you beg the north koreans for defective artillery rounds 😀

We will see what January 20th, 2025 brings. I bet we can both get what we hope for😊

@SlaveEt you didn't answer or even react to my question. do you really wish to give the entire country of Ukraine and all its inhabitants to Putin?
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2
Did you really not read my original response? I want a strong national defense and a prosperous America. You want to keep the Ukraine out of Putin's clutches. I believe it is completely reasonable to expect both to be possible.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SlaveEt But, I disagree. If Ukraine falls into Putin's clutches, he will not be satisfied. He already has stated that his goal is to recreate the Russian Empire, aka the equivalent of the Soviet Union. I also disagree about which country is the most corrupt, but then, I don't really have the statistics that support or deny that statement. With good friends that lived under the rule of the USSR, I don't understand how anyone can support Putin's claims and efforts!

@samueltyler2 support can be bought - the negotiation currency is potatoes

@newjaninev2 do i dare ask wtf you are trying to say?

@SlaveEt
giving away taxpayer dollars

Don't you mean roubles?

@newjaninev2
If we aren't careful the dollar will indeed be worthless. For now though, it is hanging on. I am hopeful a change in administration and therefore a change in policy, will reinvigorate the US economy and the USD.

@samueltyler2
We can "what if" until the cows come home but that changes nothing. We both hope for the best and we'll see what actually happens in January 2025.

I think you are confused. I'm American, not Russian. I'm not sure what the exchange rate is but I bet an internet search would be able to tell you, if you are truly interested. 😊

@SlaveEt what happens in Jan 2025? so you favor tRump and he will turn Ukraine over to Russia? Come on now, state it out loud so everyone can hear your comment. You want to do for Russia what Chamberlain did for Germany?

"Neville Chamberlain returned from a meeting with Hitler on September 30, 1938. This meeting resulted in the Munich Agreement, which aimed to avert war by allowing Hitler to annex parts of Czechoslovakia while removing the imminent threat of invasion12. Chamberlain famously declared, "For the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time"1. Unfortunately, less than a year later, Germany’s invasion of Poland marked the beginning of World War II1. The phrase “peace for our time” is now remembered ironically due to these subsequent events. 🕊️"

I find it interesting that you know not only what Trump will do but what I want. Whoever sold you that crystal ball, I'd return it and ask for a refund.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SlaveEt both of you telegraph your wants!
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2
Well I have a poor poker face that is true but in this case, I stated clearly what I want. Anything else is your desire to vilify someone you disagree with. And that is on you.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SlaveEt ha, ha! It isn't that I disagree, your comments are simply not provable, aka wrong.
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2
I have stated opinion..... which is neither right or wrong, just in case you were unware🤨.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SlaveEt you did not state it as such! Reread your comment! You can still edit it if you care to.
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2
*smh* You're hopeless, lol, and I'm done wasting my time on you.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SlaveEt ha, ha, ha, look who is calling someone hopeless. You drank the KoolAde.
@SlaveEt Reinvigorate the economy?! We are doing better than anyone else in the wake of reopening...

@SomeMichGuy
So? I'm not interested in settling for mediocrity even if you are.
