the art of stupidity .. the fake numbers that trump has used.. 200 billion, then 300 billion, now 350 billion... when do we get to 500 billion.. the real number is about 67 billion (in mostly old and out of date gear that we were scrapping), and under 20 billion in grants for government (much is to be paid back). the war can and will be won, just stfu it should have never been started, no war should ever be started idiot... russia started it, and you did nothing to stop it for 4 years!!!! the US aid to ukraine is far less than the rest of the world artillery shells last year about 700K (us) europe 2 million, european shell buy 1.4 million, non eu and ukraine shell production 1+ million tanks europe 1950+ usa ... 31 fixed wing aircraft europe 120+... usa 0 many of the patriots (rockets) we are sending are exchanges that japan and others gave us, then we turn around and "charge" ukraine for them. many countries (finland, romania, etc) DO NOT PUT A VALUE on gear sent to ukraine.... also like finland and turkey aid to ukraine is secret and not valued or listed till it shows up on the battlefield. europes money is only guaranteed due to the 300 billion in frozen funds, if you want to help ukraine you can ask for some of it... you have not. the 61 billion "aid bill" that was signed, of which ukraine only gets 5 billion of is reimbursable... ukraine agreed to pay it back. the war in ukraine is important to the US, we gave our word that the us would protect ukraine after it gave up its nukes... now everyone is looking at getting nukes for protection and no one trusts the usa any more. we have a big ocean... that means nothing any more.. bad guys have aircraft, ships, and rockets that can go around the world... we are not safe behind a little water. half of the aid that was allocated to ukraine is "missing", yes. it was never sent, patriots, aircraft, rockets all allocated, over 4 billion in funds are missing.... from ukraine. it is still in the USA, still unspent, unshipped..... the aid was passed then sat on.. thats missing.. tard. 7 months of shells that were allocated to ukraine... went missing. they were shipped to Israel by biden.... again allocated and not received. president Z is following the law of ukraine, in time of war according to the constitution you do not have elections.... you know who has the same law? the brits,,, in WWII they did not have elections till after WWII... so do you feel the same about Churchill??? putin has not had a fair election in 25 years... he has murdered his way to the top.. just ask Alexei Navalny, ow wait never mind.... its so bad the person running against putin from the communist party told people to vote for putin 2 days prior to the election. independent polls by the EU put president Z at 57% positive... trump wone by 49%.. president Z is more popular in ukraine than you are in the USA. the 4% number is a verified russian talking point.. thats a bad sign better act fast??? why, ukraine is currently winning.. russia has less captured land now than it did 2.5 years ago. and now ukraine is mounting a counter attack in nearly every sector.. this is without full mobilization that is coming. millions have died.. no ukraine has done a great job of evacuations and saved millions.. the nearly million dead is on the russian side... in the next 90 days the russians are expected to cross the 1 million number of dead and seriously wounded.. and ukraine stands at 49,000. while russia is now using old cars and donkeys at the front due to the lack of military vehicles ukrain is building new modern artillery and armor, the EU after a much delayed start is now cranking out 10-12000 armored vehicles, more rockets, more aircraft... and now refusing to buy US made military gear.. is that the outcome you were hoping for? the military industrial might will be left out in the cold under your leadership... thats over 800 billion in losses.. but what ever, keep talking, keep using russian talking points, and keep losing friends while the world moves on... without us
