The newest aid package got approved. Glad to see they will be getting even more assistance in fighting for their homeland!

We've given them 54 billion the rest of europe have given them like 500 million.

Why are we footing the whole bill?

Keep schilling.

I don't think that's what the NYT meant.

If it is our moral imperative to fight genocide then it shouldn’t matter how much anyone else contributes, we should do it because it in and of itself is worth doing.

Because if you don't then you likely have to send US troops instead.

There's just no winning when it comes to ciaban and Ukraine.

We could agree to a trilateral agreement where we agree that the entirety of Ukraine belongs to Vladimir Putin.

By an extremely painful and sudden fatal illness. I’ll be stoked when he dies, but who do you think is going to take over when he does? I have a hard time imagining it’s a western-friendly guy who believes in Democracy.

EDIT: to be clear, if this were some populist revolt that’s one thing (though Russia may be the worst example as their populist revolt led to Communism, the USSR and millions dead), but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Maybe there might be a Gorbochev type around? we can hope.

Would Russia follow such a man? They probably associate that type of person with the loss of their empire.

Screw Europe and NATO. Bunch of whiny a-holes other than GB. Balkans are different. They are tough and have some good huevos.

Maybe they would when they get a body count and truth about how much Putin and his weak assed croonies have cost them?

I’m not saying that they won’t. But I think it is not viewed positively in Russia. Americans and Russians view their leadership in the 80’s entirely differently.

Maybe. Especially the old Soviet Union people. I don't think the younger Russians and particularly young women and mothers of those Russian soldiers maimed or dead would be mad if Putin Croaked?

I sure would like to take look at that aid for pork. Not that the Ukrainians don't need our help, but you know how our congress works when it comes to bills.
