Supporting Ukraine with military aid is in part a jobs program for the United States.
Support Ukrainians to the max.
Look, every dollar has been so thoroughly checked and checked, that it’s laughable that someone can steal any of it.
Please, please, i beg of you, take my money. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦
The “military aid” money is almost all spent here on American goods!
And in return Ukraine has destroyed the bulk of the Russian military.
In the business world that’s called an excellent return on investment.
Who’s complaining? I’m not. Ukraine is clearing out our stockpile of aging munitions so we can buy fresh ones and they’re using them for exactly what they were built for. Russia should have held to their bargain they made when Ukraine gave up the nukes. US politicians here bitching about funding Ukraine ought to have their campaign finances looked into. There might be Russian influence where there should be none. My biggest complaint is that they haven’t sent more. The tanks and jets have taken way too long. Even the former Soviet bloc countries trying to give MIGs were getting hamstrung. Straight bullshit.

Win win win. No brainer. Triple the support.
