When Russia finally takes over Ukraine is a few months what will happen to the billions of tax dollars and military's equipment that joe Biden gave?

[Anonymous]

I have a feeling Ukraine will be another Afghanistan in a few months. Will Biden ever give us a refund of tax dollars?

[JacobJordan]

That should be the least of your worries. If russia wins then the rest of world sees that anyone can defy the world council and be consequence free. Tensions are already stupid high all around the world. Won't take much more to spark a global conflict

[CALIGVLA]

Where was that "world council" when the war against Iraq had been taking place?

[JacobJordan]

@CALIGVLA the US received some criticism but was never denounced for war crimes by the world council. so they were present. you don't need the quotation marks. the world council is just the United Nations

[strateguy632]

russia won't get all of ukraine. if loaned then the Ukrainian will start to pay back loans but most money lost.

about refund, if you have a student loan from department of education you might get part forgiven... bad policy now, but try.

[IslaTheWitch]

Russia won't take Ukraine. It's the least desirable solution for every country.

[RolandCuthbert]

Yawn. . . in order to take over land, they would have to win some battles. They were pushed out of Kiev, out of Kharkiv, and out of Kherson. Ukraine is now sending drone attacks deep into Russia including Moscow.

Funny enough, your leader Putin sent conditions for ending the war to Kiev.

[Drewtate]

It's a stalemate. Russia is just going to hold on to the territory its taken and declare victory as it does not have the military economic might to conquer Ukraine.

[Drewtate]

.. also all the weapons we are selling to Ukraine are weapons we are replacing with newer up to date weapons.
We left weapons behind in Afghanistan to destabilise the region, for instance Pakistan
, china and Iran are neighbours of Afghanistan

[exitseven]

Most of it has been already sold by the Ukrainians. How do you think Zalensky and all his generals can afford all those mansions in the Franch Riviera?

[andreasderjuengere]

Someone in your own country made this equipment - and along with this also made some good profit.

Your tax dollars never left the country :D

[strateguy632]

part you are correct buying , but MOST went directly to ukraine and WITHOUT oversight inspections, despite rnc complaints. that is the tragedy when dnc is majority, so voters switched and gave the house to rnc, now we need to change senate.

[andreasderjuengere]

@strateguy632 ... I'm not a member of your country. But I do see a few things, too, from over here.
As you mention 'senate'' - the word is quite similar to ''senile''; I always wonder -also about other countries- why so many people from the past (as in 'past perfect' :) ) are required to build on a future.
But thinking about tax usage... if they won't waste it 'here', then they will likely waste it 'there'?

[ThrillSeeker01]

Some people just don't give a shit if tyrants attack and torture other people. It isn't worth spending any money to stop monsters, right? Just like in World War II... oh, wait. We did.

[NamerOfStars]

And that's why the US declared war on Nazi Germany when they learned about the death camps... oh, wait. We didn't; we waited until they'd declared war on US.

But we declared war on Imperial Japan when we learned about their atrocities that made the Germans look like kittens... oh, wait. We waited until THEY had declared war on us, too.

But the fascist Italians, we... waited until they'd declared. And the Croatian Ustase, we... never fought at all. And the Soviets under Stalin, possibly the most bloodthirsty leader in power during the existence of the US, we... happily fought beside.

Yeah, history's not on your side, here.

[ThrillSeeker01]

@NamerOfStars right. We'd never lend a helping hand to someone else unless it was our own ass? Helping people in trouble is for losers, right? It's all about us unless we get attacked? If they do, who gives a shit?

[NamerOfStars]

Yeah, because stopping to help someone who's fallen over in the street is TOTALLY analogous to escalating a regional conflict into a nuclear war that destroys human civilization.

Human psychology isn't on your side here, either.

[ThrillSeeker01]

@NamerOfStars Don't worry, there won't be any World War III. It's something Putin says to rattle gullible people like you.

In fact Putin loves selfish people like you. He's counting on people like you to stop American aid to Ukraine so he can conquer it and torture even more people than he already has.

[CALIGVLA]

@thrillseeker01,

There's nothing more the US can do to help Ukraine win, get used to it. History is not a Marvel story where your favorite fictional super hero wins.

[NamerOfStars]

... Just like there won't be any World War 2? The first WAS called "The War To End All Wars", after all.

Seriously, you need to let this fantasy go.

[Anonymous]

Biden and the Ukrainian oligarchs have already moved the money to off shore accounts, and the weapons will go to Russia.

[Anonymous]

Biden didn't even apologize for all the people he killed during the pandemic. More people died of Covid so far under Biden then during Trumps entire term. So I think you wasting your time if you're expecting that.

[Anonymous]

You don't have much understanding of how things work, do you?

[DryGermanGuy]

Your feeling is wrong. End of discussion.

[Anonymous]

That money's already gone, holmes!

[FunkyMonkee]

It's GONE!!
