Do you support loaning Ukraine money instead of giving it to them like Donald Trump says?

[Anonymous]

The USA has given enough. Should it be loaned instead of given?

[normalice]

It's a trick. The loan is proposed as zero interest and forgivable, which means "given." But by framing it this way it let's Trump take credit for it. Which I'm fine with as long as it gets done.

Trumps never paid back a loan he's been given in his life

He needs to shut the fuck up

Usa is trying to over haul the military and all the surplus will be trashed. So might as well get 80 cents to the dollar on it. We also get a lot of useful logistics data if we have to go to war with Russia or potentially China.

We are getting our money's worth one way or another.

There's something to be said for that idea. 90% of the American national debt is owed to American citizens, and I can't help but wonder how much more went to pay other countries that had no intention of paying it back. Despite its name, the lend-lease program that let the USSR stay in WWII after they'd been beaten was charity, not lending.

I wonder if we've paid that off yet...

At this point, who even cares! Just give Ukraine the ammunition they desperately need, stat! The House GOP already has blood on their hands for their disgusting political games.

No. They won't pay it back. No money at all for foreign countries for defense or to go to war.

If the US is spending money on Ukraine you can be sure they are getting something for it.

No loans are returned to the giver not the agent acting for the giver to line his own pockets

It's money laundering like all war
