The 46th U. S. President Biden, has asked congress for another 37 Billion for a emergency package for Ukraine, how does this make you feel?

[Anonymous]

President Joe Biden is asking for another 37 Billion to go towards Ukraine. Keep in mind it has only been 10 months now since the war In Ukraine started in full scale. So far we have sent billions after billions in only a few months. Yet we're suffering with mass inflation, scarce jobs and high food and gas prices & some people probably won't be having a good Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.

Yet we're throwing all our weight and resources at Ukraine. How does this make you feel?

I feel like it's a "drop in the bucket" and has to continue for a while, but we should all be working overtime in every way possible to end this asap. "hands across america for peace", daily prayer to end the war, etc..

After this war ends we need russians to come to mexico border and threaten us, and threaten our homeless people. We need them to threaten they will rob our houses and beat us up and sell fentanyl and to turn our boys into girls. That way, we can justify "war" spending money to deal with some of the problems we have... since it is an easy way to get funding...

[ShadezMcgee]

I say no, use that money on your countrymen and get our shit straight before we do any more charity work.

Let other countries pick it up and get a game of round robin going.

There are plenty of poor people in India that Biden does not help. He is doing this because weakening Russia makes America richer, not out of concern for Ukrainians. Does America care about Pakistan or Nepal? This is an advantageous political move, not an act of generosity.

[irifebeck]

The US never spends its money on what its people actually need, so this isn't a shocker.

The US has given in total over 146 billion dollars to Israel, funding their current illegal occupation in the Palestine and that wasn't a cause of concern?

[BCA6010]

All monetary aid to Ukraine should be slashed immediately, at least until some domestic issues are ironed out. A huge chunk of that taxpayer money ends up coming back to the pockets of corrupt politicians friends and families' NGOs, which the recent FTX scandal happens to involve. Of course the Biden crime family and both parties' establishment elites are direct beneficiaries of these deals, so it's going to happen and keep happening one way or another.

[joeldalton]

You mean "money laundering"

Mar: $ 13.6 billion
May: $ 40b
Nov: $ 37.7b: Biden's new request

That $ 91.3 billion is 33% more than Russia's *total military spending for the year*

It's *double* the US's average annual expenditure for its own war in Afghanistan

[KayMay]

I said from the very beginning that this was a scam, and because the dim bulbs are all focused on mean Tweets, Biden can get away with anything.

[Anonymous]

Politicians in countries like ours like to blame the war for all sorts of things and deflect attention away from their own failings.
I would hope that some of this money is investment in a better future and more lucrative deals down the line but I guess we'll see.

[NamerOfStars]

Like this must be some kind of money laundering scheme. This is creeping up toward the costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, and we're not even IN this war- yet, anyway. What the hell is going on?

[jshm2]

WTF, are you a fucking hick?

The profit and tax coming back from that money will be at least five times that.

The USA spent something like 1.9 trillion dollars on the Iraq war alone. But the profits and tax made from Haliburton alone not mentioning the hundreds of other US, EU and UK contractors were the main beneficiaries.

That 37 billion isn't really going to Ukraine, but to US companies that will work there.

Lay off the drug's please

It’s what happens when you’re a Lefty Brit. You think your opinions are worth a damn.

[abc3643]

It makes me feel happy as a little girl because it would save us the TRILLIONS later in dealing with a confident and aggressive Russia.

Besides, this war is GREAT!

It's the perfect real-world beta test of our defense and weapons systems!

[Avicenna]

Time to audit all this money. I bet a lot of it ended up in US politicians' bank accounts.

Don't forget that we're also supposedly funding Ukraine's entire government spending.

[RealMarek]

It makes me feel like a lot of elites who were already getting rich grifting in Ukraine are getting way richer now. Look into the FTX crypto exchange collapse and its links to Ukraine.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Russians started the catalyst that could end up with Russia invading the EU.

America knows Ukraine is a strategic country between the west and Russia. Only a foolish president wouldn’t help. Or one bought by Russia, like ex president trump.

[FunkyMonkee]

Like we should all stop paying taxes!! That's NOT what taxes are for!!

[exitseven]

Meanwhile we have war veterans living in squalor and elderly who cannot afford heating oil.

[KayMay]

War veterans don't put money in Biden's pocket.

[exitseven]

@KayMay they all vote for the guy that fixed the VA.

[CloudMassacre]

Makes me feel like I live in a military dictatorship that is married to an oligarchy that uses a false 2 party system to keep the plebs in line

[BJP21]

Why are we involved again? We are going to get pulled into this war if we start doing stuff Putin started.

[Anonymous]

He's buying up Hunter's crystal supply, already secured his heroin by leaving Afghanistan, never trust a democrat to leave a war and if they do they are already arranging the next one

[888theGreat]

They better hurry because Republicans will hold funds up until they find out about Democrats that used funds to run for office in 2022.

[Anonymous]

Unsurprising. The Democrats have become the neo-conservative war-mongers they once protested.

[TroyDT2]

Every President since Bill Clinton has been a reckless borrower and it will come home to roost sooner or later.

[Anonymous]

What about America? Why aren’t NATO countries paying their fair share?

[Anonymous]

Kind of a bad time to be doing it when it looks like FTX was using money from Ukraine to fund DNC candidates in the last election.

[Pohjolan]

Ultimately it's better that Russia is halted in Ukraine and not in Poland and is made a warning example for other countries considering moving their borders by violent expansionism.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry, I don't support any president who places the needs of other nations over our own. Especially nations we aren't even allied with.

[BarryLiverstone]

Feels like he is a leader

[Agagagagaga]

Feels like you’re a Lefty rube.

[BarryLiverstone]

You would be wrong
