Yeah, looks like they're working from the "Identifying Malicious Individuals" section of their info warfare handbook with the grace and prowess of Biden's press secretary. One of the pro-ukraine users was following me around threads and apparently allowed to call people trash. Zero doubt he had a back channel opened with a mod or admin or some sort and was aggressively baiting for a response, knowing the site wouldn't ban his government propaganda account

Everything sent so far was already paid for. The aid "money" is the replacement costs for things which means American jobs.

See, it's lies like this that make all uke bros look bad. Just over 50% of US aid sent so far has been military hardware, over 40% has been cash.

So no, not everything sent so far was already paid for.

Ah gotcha...I took it was directed at me cause I responded to kerry.

Is it a safe assumption that the "financial assistance" is also being used to pay Ukrainian military salaries? Pretty sure Ukraine said soldiers will be paid 2 or 3k per month. I do know the average pension in Ukraine is roughly $150 per month.

After years of my patriotism being questioned because I question the Ukraine narrative I guess it’s only natural that my very existence be questioned. I bet if I had a photo in the cockpit of an Ukraine flag then it might be a tad different…but when questioning what has become a religion to many here I suppose it’s natural. And if I were lying then I’d claim to be a Navy SEAL like everyone else. They get all the women.

Ah gotcha...I took it was directed at me cause I responded to kerry.

Is it a safe assumption that the "financial assistance" is also being used to pay Ukrainian military salaries? Pretty sure Ukraine said soldiers will be paid 2 or 3k per month. I do know the average pension in Ukraine is roughly $150 per month.

I wasn't quoting you, I was quoting lorzepam who is ignoring the $$$, but the aid is inextricably intertwined.

I haven’t seen any reports either way about military pay, just government worker pay.

Debatable based on Russians actions in occupied territories. Lower loss of life for Russian soldiers, sure. But a Russian army facing an insurgency is going to be ruthless on the local population, especially how the view Ukrainians.
