We spent around 20 trillion fighting two different wars over two decades in the middle east.

A few billion to Ukraine is the least of our problems.

I super sure that that money couldn't be used across our police forces, rising national debt, or maybe our veterans. Shit even our wild life conservation couldn't use that money at all.

You're not wrong, but perhaps some of the 450 billion that illegal aliens cost us every year could be redirected towards all of those things instead?

Yep.

So far, we've only been averaging around 60 billion per year to Ukraine though. Wake me up when it gets up to 300 billion a year.

Sure, it's all tax $$$, but in the big picture it's a drop in the bucket.

I'm a pragmatist and a realist. There's a lot of other crap we spend money on that worries me more than Ukraine.

That money was never going to be spent to improve our country anyway, we already know that. The more money Uncle Sugar sends to Ukraine, the less money they have to screw me over.

We gave up an entire leg for this other cause! Why would you bother to object to giving up a hand or a foot for this cause? Who cares if it gets us closer to the point in which we no longer have any body parts to give and are no longer able to do anything meaningful with our body?

America has sacrificed enough for other countries. The body of our nation is being cut up and given to others who have no right to it and we are being rendered useless. We won't be able to sustain the level of spending and repay the debt if we continue to spend with no regard for the economic security of the country. You have the same fucking mindset as the fucking idiots in Washington that have gotten us to the state we are in now. NO MORE. Go give them your own fucking money and go over there and fight their war for them yourself if you think it's a worthy cause.

Because I'm a realist. That money was never going to be spent to improve our country, or help us in any way.

Of all the things that are destroying our nation, Ukraine is way way way down near the bottom of the list.

Wrong article, I accidentally posted that instead of the Democrats articke, edited my post. But as to that it seems a large and growing chunk of Republican Party seems to be echoing that Senator on Ukraine which obviously is at odds with Kiev’s stated policy

I still stand by my previous statement that fighting will continue into 2024 even if new US aid fails to materialize although I’m tracking Hungary on its EU aid situation. Slovak government seemed to say they won’t obstruct aid but won’t contribute from from their stocks any longer.

Democrats at least so far are responding to Johnson that any changes to immigration other than facilitating it are their hill to die on. At this point Democrats are flagrant about wanting a permanent open border https://thehill.com/latino/4338248-border-ukraine-funding-immigration-democrats/amp/

But it's not.  The scenario is complete fantasy.  We are, however, running our country into the ground for the sake of the forceful redistribution of wealth from workers and businesses to overly entitled elderly folks.  It is literally the primary cause of our fiscal ruin and dwarfs everything else, even more so if you add the rest of our welfare programs and associated debt.

He’s lose his seat like McCarthy if he gets nothing for Republicans. Dems want a combined bill but Johnson said no which means 60 billion still has to get past the Freedom Caucus Matt Gaetz Congressmembers in a vote if Johnson wants to keep his position https://themessenger.com/politics/house-freedom-caucus-rejects-speaker-johnsons-ukraine-us-borderpairing

None of it should be cash, period. It should be tracked, cataloged, and managed aid that is overseen so as much as possible goes to stopping Russia..not filling anyone's pocket.

And neither should they be valuing surplus, boneyard M113s as a million each. Or ancient Atacms missiles.
