    The cost of not stopping Putin now would end up higher.

    So are you in favor of letting Ukraine get taken over by Russia?

    I imagine the 80 billion reflects their long term prospects given that the only way Ukraine can come out of this as "winners" is a swift pullout before winter.

    I wish other countries would pull their weight but I guess everyone is broke and one country thinks trillion dollar deficits can be wished away by printing press and voodoo economics

    Something you obviously will never understand is that fighting against tyranny and fighting for peace freedom and democracy comes at a cost. If you were actually interested in democracy then you’d get that.

    Also.. literally NOBODY wants to be paying that much of our military budget. Go talk to your lord Vladamir and tell him to stop invading sovereign countries and that’ll save everyone a lot of money.. especially money at the pump. Why aren’t you showing as much outrage at the person actually costing you money instead of Jen Psaki???

    You also are a fool if you think the US government would just not spend every dollar of military budget allotted for such things.

    Blasts, Bombs, And Drones: Amid Carnage In Ukraine, A Shadow War On The Russian Side Of The Border

    Early in the morning on April 27, a drone crashed in a muddy field southwest of the Russian city of Kursk, around 100 kilometers northeast of the border with Ukraine. Locals tracked down the destroyed device not long after, and posted photographs to Telegram and other social media.

    The device appeared to be a Bayraktar TB2, a versatile Turkish-designed unmanned aerial vehicle capable of long-distance surveillance as well as dropping guided bombs or firing anti-tank missiles.

    It wasn’t the Russians who were flying the drone.

    And that wasn’t the only unusual thing that happened in that part of Russia that same morning: There were also two unexplained explosions at Russian military and industrial sites -- one in Kursk and one near Voronezh, not far to the east.

    Nor does it appear to have been Russians who flew low-altitude attack helicopters in the pre-dawn hours of April 1 around the time that a fuel depot exploded less than 50 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

    Wow. What in the entire f***? Jews are the worst anti-semites?

    That’s some impressive pretzeling. Wonder if he pulled a hammy with that one.
