Is this really your fist proxy war? Zelensky is right when he said that this isn't aid but an investment and congress knows this. Put it this way, lets say you see Russia as a security threat would you rather fight them before this war or after they've already gone through the Ukrainian meat grinder? This is the reason the Baltics have gone so hard on support for Ukraine.So let me get this straight.
The border wall for US and Mexico border is "too expensive" but we can dump over 100 billion into the Ukraine/Russia conflict?
White supremacy and Naziism are on the rise and represent the greatest threat to America and Democracy...but it is okay to give, again, over a 100 billion dollars to an army that has Nazi larpers in it.
Guns are bad, but we have to give guns to Ukraine.
We're not "At War" with Russia, but we can literally fund the fight against them. Seriously, if I was Putin, but I'd be operating under the assumption that I am at war with the US.
McConnell says that this is the most important issue to all Republicans...yet I don't recall too many in their camp running on this issue when it was election time.
This shit makes so little sense, its giving me migraines.
When it comes to public spending the government can be surprisingly tight, you have to sweeten the deal for congressmen something the MIC is very good at. Building bombs, planes, tanks, etc all mean high paying jobs and every state gets a piece of the pie. Add some money under the table and you've got your 800bn dollar defense budget. Just be tankful that a good portion of money actually buys the shit it's supposed to.
The issue of who is or isn't a Nazi doesn't really matter, I mean a good portion of NATO's top brass back in the 50's where Nazis. Like real goose stepping, knew Hitter on a fist name basis Nazis. Neo-Nazism is just something you have to put up with in part of the world, there's a shit load in Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, etc. There's a lot in Ukraine and in Russia funnily enough. Also a lot NATO militaries (mainly European ones) are filled with white supremacists, I know for a fact that the UK and French militaries are.
Gun are good just not in the hands of people who could threaten the government. That's true for you the disenfranchised citizen and competing nations.
Honestly this whole situation, as sad as it is, makes a lot of sense.
