How Much Aid Has the U.S. Sent Ukraine? Here Are Six Charts.

Six charts illustrate the extraordinary level of support the United States has provided Ukraine in its war against Russian invaders.

The bar graph of NATO nation contributions to Ukraine is even more telling!

Great tip BKidd, so I’ll post it as well for those with crippling arthritis unable to click the link!

For the record, I have no problem with humanitarian aide which is about 20 percent of total funding.

putin didn’t invade during the trump admin…that was obama and xiden the more flexible admin…

This may come as a surprise but sometimes things happen elsewhere in the world without having anything to do with our president. The theory on Putin's sudden urge for glory is that he got some sort of chronic illness and was placed on large quantities of corticosteroids which have continued to make him paranoid and aggressive.

haha yeah some dembot conspiracy…the reality is he saw how weak xiden was

 

[22lcidw]

Yea, Hitler offered a solution where he gets to keep captured territory and promise not to invade ever again

Same resolution Putin is offering

You are comparing Hitler with a massive military and the rest of Europe at that time not so much. NATO nations have a great number of weapons today. And of course, we are giving Ukraine most of the resources while many suffer at home. That is why we are raising the benefits to our poor 50% more than for the social security recipients in check increases. Progs know what they are doing.

You need to realize Trump's term severely damaged the earnings of the military industrialist complex and all their investors portfolio's.

Trump always asked for increased Military spending..

[CowboyTed]

Comparing hitler and the NAZIs to this? LOL
Do any of you people know anything about history besides hitler?
Good grief.

So Hilter invade a neighbour.
Committed war crimes
There was people who supported Hitler in US at the time too



These guys are Putin supporters... Well fuck them, time GOP jettison these fucks...

Putin has something bad wrong with him. That's a fact. His face is puffy as hell. Standard treatment for a wide variety of debilitating illnesses is anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone. Widely known to cause wild mood swings and paranoia. It must be terrifying to live under an unstable dictator. You might end up flying out the window at any moment.

maybe, but even then he knows xiden’s his bitc and he owns him…that’s why he invaded and how he got his merchant of death back

https://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/06/politics/donald-trump-defense-spending-sequester/index.html

“Trump commented that he’s not too popular with Pentagon leaders because “they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.”

Trump’s battle against the ‘military industrial complex’

In his 1961 farewell address, President Dwight D. Eisenhower cautioned the nation about the rising influence of what he called, “the military industrial complex.” He knew from experience…

That’s a fairly accurate paraphrase of President Eisenhower’s view.

For God's sake, how is this any different than sitting in response to Adolph Hitler's aggression on western Europe in 1939? Millions of people died then, and 10s of thousands of people are dying now. It's unconscionable. What could possibly be motivating these Republicans?

MSN

Most Republicans in the chamber rose to applaud Zelensky.

Only the retarded alt-right rubes didn’t.

Then stole the money to pay for the wall

 

[CowboyTed]

Putin isn't fighting a war against America. Russia is.

My interest is only in peace that can be agreeable to both sides, before the world experiences the unspeakable!

Chamberlain only wanted peace too...

We know that Putin is just like Hitler in that he won't stop unless you stop him.. He is a bully and it is far cheaper doing it now than let it fester...

I am really sorry for Ukraine that there country is the battlefield but unfortunately a war has to be fought...

And by the way, this is about NATO and Article 5, Putin will not stop if you let him at it...

 

[rightwinger]

all under democrats

Very true
It is Democrats who stand up to global aggression

This doesn't show the massive amount of money being spent on housing Ukrainian refugees...

Poland and Germany have 2.5million of them alone.

The following is based upon the observations of a 30 plus year military veteran and was submitted in 2020.

“But President Trump has presented a dilemma for the Pentagon. While current budgets are growing and new technology is being acquired to ensure our military remains the strongest in the world, Trump is actively withdrawing America from global engagements. See the problem? If America reduces our overseas commitments, we may not need as large a military force or budget in future years, creating a direct threat to the military industrial complex. So long as a president is aligned with the military industrial complex objectives, all is fine. But if we have a president that actually provides real civilian oversight of our military: Washington, we have a problem.”

Nope...don't mention NATO and we won't attack.
Apparently, Zelensky, who cannot even be tracked by the CIA, selected becoming filthy rich.

That seems to be a fair point. The breakdown of expenses shows only 20 percent for humanitarian aide. Do you think that’s a fair proportion? I do not.
