    I’d love “America First”, if it was about giving aid to all the hungry homeless Americans instead of paying other nations to blow shit up or to fufill a religious prophecy…

    Sadly it’s just a Racist Dogwhistle

      When will people understand that actions across borders are very important to the country’s safety. If Russians are able to go through Ukraine, the threat would be on NATO countries, which could end up being the start of the WW3.

          Then you are massively uniformed and need to read a history book or shut up.

          Not opposing Putin would cost FAR more in the long term.

          Also…

          Most of the equipment is obsolete or excess stock.

          A lot of the financial aid is under the lend lease program meaning Ukraine has to pay a percentage back.

          The US subsides the oil industry to the tune of $20 billion a year, so how about you start there.

          I’m not big on war but Putin needs to be stopped and while it is costing us in the west some money. It’s costing Ukrainians their lives.

          So show a little fucking gratitude.

          I just want single payer healthcare

          That would cost less than what is spent now. So why pretend it is blocked by unrelated topics?
