It's tiny when compared to what we spend on domestic entitlements programs.It's insane how much of our money goes over seas.

Putin isn't fighting Ukraine, He's fighting the deep state in Ukraine
Too bad about your son's laundry job, Xiden!
Typical defeatist attitude, which is why 1960s-1970s Marines like AJ lost in Vietnam.We just threw more money down that rathole.
Let Putin take it. He cannot hold it and it will help keep him and Xi from plotting their world dominance. You know, they way Hitler and Stalin did. I bet they nuke each other eventually...
The Democrats waved the flag of their allegiance after the vote. We support most of the world. It's insane how much of our money goes over seas. It's damn hard to ferret out all of the money we give in foreign support for instance between January 24, 2022, and January 15, 2024, the U.S. directed about $74.3 billion in assistance to Ukraine This figure does not include all war-related U.S. spending, such as aid to allies1. Additionally, the U.S. House of Representatives approved more than $61 billion worth of military assistance to help Ukraine2. You can find some of the money given to foreign governments here, Search by country: https://www.foreignassistance.gov/cd/united states/
Assuming this is not a rhetorical question, the answer is quite simple: Trump is at best neutral regarding Israel given his falling out with fellow dictator-wannabee Adolf Netanyahu.Why are you assholes so focused on Ukraine and not the horrible things we're funding in Israel? I mean its clearly its not actually about the money or the morality.
I can think of nothing besides not wanting to irritate the orange shitgibbon's minions. You'll recall the lack of spine over the border bill that REPUBLICANS advanced to the floor, Trump said vote "no" and these cowards voted against their own bill!I get Trump genuinely doesn't give a shit about anything but power. That part I understand. I understand that MTG and Boebert drank all the Kool-Ade. What's with the others?
Like Georgia.First if Putin gets it, its gone. Its that simple.
Adding to this great post: oil and gas is pretty much the only Russian industry besides weapons that is succeeding. Ukraine is destroying Russian industrial capacity to wage warfare through economic warfare, similar to how 9/11 threw a recession on the USA.Ukraine took out two large Russian oil depots that held 26,000 cubic meters of fuel, Ukranian intelligence claimed yesterday.
Smart move on his part. This evens up the sides in this war.Biden approved delivery of the long-range Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, in early March, and the U.S. included a “significant” number of them in a $300 million aid package announced at the time, one official said.
NoWill there be supporting US troops on the ground in Ukraine to support these weapons?
There were in 2022 and it's hard to believe we didn't leave specialized troops, CIA assets, or contractors behind. That's how we operate. especially when there is highly sophisticated weaponry involved.
Yes, I get that you don't believe there aren't troops there.There were in 2022 and it's hard to believe we didn't leave specialized troops, CIA assets, or contractors behind. That's how we operate. especially when there is highly sophisticated weaponry involved.
Some are there to help train and maintain the systems provided, others to manage expenditures, some are observers and others are there for intelligence gathering. That's how we roll. It's all on down low so the DOD and the President can have plausible deniability. The 101st Airborne Division is stationed right across the border in Romania and within reach of Odessa.Yes, I get that you don't believe there aren't troops there.

There are some American advisors in Ukraine. If you want to believe otherwise, be my guest.They aren't in Ukraine.
You're just mad that Ukraine is getting defenses to stop Russian attacks.
The truth is as I have stated it, The war in Ukraine cannot be won by Ukraine. It is all but over. They have run out of men. new weapons will only prolong the human tragedy that is taking place there.Interesting back story HERE about how the Ukraine Bill got passed.
President Joe Biden got the Majority and Minority leaders of both the House and Senate to come to the White House this past weekend, to "talk about avoiding another government shutdown". Instead the National Security Agency gave a presentation about how dire the situation was in Ukraine. Evidently they had less that one week's stock of ammunition in all military calibers and Ukraine was looking at complete defeat. The US had tons of ammunition staged and ready to be delivered, but could not do so for lack of funding.
Schumer, McConnell and Biden realized that Speaker Johnson really wanted to make a deal, he knew the blow to American prestige if Ukraine fell. The sticking point was "what to do about Marjorie Taylor Greene".
I'm wondering if there was a side deal now to "protect" Speaker Johnson for the remainder of the year if Greene follows through on her threat.
Unbelievable when you think about it. Global calamity was avoided by steamrolling one petulant loudmouth Congresswoman, who put her own personal agenda above the country's agenda and the world's agenda.
If the Supreme Court decides that Presidential Immunity is absolute, I truly believe a certain Congresswoman from Georgia will be #2 on the "special ops list".
The communists got defeated on the battlefield but won in the elections... in America.If AJ had fought the Viet Cong as hard as he fights Democrats, South Vietnam would still exist.
The Ukraine's go to either Poland or Germany for training. In this day and age you don't need troops in the field to oversee systems. Can you say "facetime". I'm not sure you can....There are some American advisors in Ukraine. If you want to believe otherwise, be my guest.
