  1. Urgent here: every reason to CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSPEOPLE TODAY!!

    Full OP Tweet:

    “The funds “for Ukraine” primarily go to US companies.”

    “There is a detailed map obtained by Politico and also a map, which I made last year, showcasing that fact.”

    “These are top twelve which benefit the most:

    1. Arizona: $1.978 billion

    “This is US tax payer money for US jobs.”

    “It is investment in those states so that US allies can fight a war so that US soldiers do not have to fight.”

    “It is a win-win for both sides, the US and their allies.”

    “Everyone saying something differently, is not only lying but trying to obstruct this successful endeavor. And currently Republicans have put this on hold.”

    It’s NOT TOO LATE FOR THE GOP TO DO THE RIGHT THING FIR FREEDOM AND FOR UKRAINE!

    America needs jobs, good jobs! These prices and cost of living are insane…

    It’s a WIN-WIN to support Ukraine to crush ruzzian aggression and bring America JOBS!!

  2. Well. Sorry Ukraine but we are about to fry a bigger fish. Iran just killed 3 of our soldiers and wounded dozens more in a strike in Jordan. Both sides of congress in the US are calling for a full scale “devastating” strike against Iran on Iranian soil. That will inevitably cause Iran to either attack our ships, invade Iraq or attack our ships and Israel. In turn we will more than likely launch several hundred submarine and naval cruise missiles along with a few hundred missiles and bombs from out B-1 force in the area and B-2 forces in Missouri. It’s time to put Tehran in the dark for the next few months. Destroy every military stock, airfield, power plant, water treatment plant and oil field. We’re gonna need that money and weapons for what’s about to happen. No need for a ground invasion, they should get the point after about a week of constant bombing.

  4. This is absolutely correct. Supplying Ukraine is basically a jobs program for the US.

    Other than Republicans compromised by Russia protecting their asses from exposure, there is zero reason for the US to not be 110% behind Ukraine.

  5. ‘Murica love it or leave it….Republicans should leave

  6. unfortunately people find it to easy to blame aid for its financial issues but that has to deal with the fact america doesn’t manufacture, produce anything for massive exports, then we have them dropping the ball on almost every raw resource out there for evs, make america start building again and even with aid you’d see the economy do fine

  7. Honestly, isn’t the point of the DoD to use money to defend us? If that defense is buying gear and NOt spending US blood, but still degrading our enemies and the enemies of peace, what a good deal!!!!
    Ideally, we would not ever need a military. But if all we have to do is buy equipment to get the mission done, )by giving the stuff to another that fights in our place), how is this bad? It’s not.

    Go Ukraine. Send 1000 Bradley and 500 F-16. Or anything we have pulled off of our active use, send it.

  8. Allow me to let you in on a secret. For the past 30 years, when Democrats are in power, deficits go down; when Republicans are in power, deficits go up. Clinton zeroed out the deficit. Bush 2 ballooned it. It again shrunk under Obama, only to have it balloon again under Trump. And yet again, it has shrunk under Biden.

    The GOP is absolutely not the “party of fiscal responsibility”. They spend wildly when in power and only become budget hawks when the Democrats are in control. None of this is about the budget, none of it is about money, it is entirely about which side in the war the two parties want to win. Trump has made it abundantly clear how he wants this war to end, and the House GOP is in lock-step with him. They are obstructing not because they think this is too costly or the money poorly spent, they are obstructing because they have decided that they want Russia to win.

  9. I remember when democrats cried about our military industrial complex.

  10. I respect the sentiment and objective of this information but it is lacking a foot note. Those might be the states where the end of line production of hardware occurs, it there is also many other production facilities that makes the smaller components that get purchased by the major producers. These suppliers are scattered throughout the United States. 

  11. Do these idiots think Biden is just venmo-ing billions to Zelenskyy? I guess republicans hate growth in American arms & manufacturing industry and would prefer the money to go on public art installations and shiny break rooms at the DMV.
