U.S. President Donald J. Trump Perpetuates The Russo-Ukrainian War

[defcon4]

"“We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump told reporters during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

Is this decision "America First?"

Couldn't the money be used for domestic purposes? Such as boosting the SS Trust Fund, Medicare, Medicaid and various infrastructure improvements? Ukraine will never sit down at the peace negotiations table while it is supplied with unlimited quantity of weapons and money. It's sad to see the President supporting the the endless butchering of Slavic people instead of spending the money domestically, but "America First!,! right?

Meh, the best move is to lean into it like the congress critters do and buy stocks. I figure if they are going to spend my money I might as well try to make some of it back.

First the Epstien debacle now this.

It's as though he's deliberately throwing away the midterms.

Do you hate the American workers building these weapons? ... we're trying to bring manufacturing jobs back home ... you want to desiccate the only industry we still have? ...

Oh right ... appeasement always works ... if we just let Russia have half Ukrainian territory, they'll stop asking for more ... see how Ossetia and Bessarabia is working ... Serbia, Croatia, Greece and Turkey should go to Moscow as well ...

Why bother with friends when we allow Despotism to spread ... democracy is for girls ...

The 1950s called, they want their Cold War propaganda back.

What a spin!

Serbia, Croatia and Greece are just a bit further from the Russian border. Turkey has a formidable military anymore.

What friends? Ukrainians? They should be friends with those with whom they share the same history and the same culture. True, they have a slight difference in their languages but essentially they are the same people. They have more common traits with each other than with westerners. The West created the fear of Baba Yaga what is non-existent in reality.

We could always use the $4 trillion going toward tax cuts for multi-billionaires instead.

Why "instead?" Why not in addition?

Maybe you didn't notice, but we have a HOT war on our hands.

Wrong analogy. "Russian bear" would be more appropriate.

Bears hibernate. They take the winter off.
Wolves, like Putin, are eating all year round.

And unlike bears, which are solitary hunters, wolves like Putin have the support of a pack. Like troops from North Korea, drones from Iran, ammunition from China.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Ukraine has the EU and the "arsenal of democracy"

As long as we can keep it.
