Good thing we’re not broke already, because this is going to get costly quickly. We aren’t fighting people in plastic flip flops this time.

And this is working much better. Not one American casualty while massively reducing Russia's ability to spread war to NATO territory. At least we learned something from 20 years of forever wars. Its better and cheaper in blood and treasure to blunt a war before it ever touches you than it is to "win" that same war.

Except what created the war in Afghanistan in the first place was funneling money to another bunch of crazies. And we’re still spending billions in the Middle East from the wars created from helping create the Taliban. (Who ultimately defeated us btw)

What do these have in common? Pouring money into anybody and everybody in an attempt to get Russia, get Russia, get Russia.

We started funding the Taliban in the 1980’s and it ended up costing trillions and we still aren’t anywhere near finished. All of these idiotic foreign policy failures look good at some point. But no one has the brains to imagine how it could end up.

But by god, if there’s a fire, we’re there with the gas can and fanning those flames.

Too bad we’re broke from all of this. We’ll give up on Ukraine long before Russia does. And everybody knows that’s true.

lol. We already sent Russia screaming to the poor house once. Now Putin, with an economy the size of Iraq's, wants to try again. We will tire of it eventually---but eventually is a pretty long time. When US troops are dying we went about 10 years in Vietnam and 20 years in Iraq/Afghanistan. But when no US troops are dying---our commitment to spend money blocking Russia from threatening us or our allies seems to last a pretty long time. Charlie Wilson sent money to Afghan rebels to fight the Soviets from 1979 to 1992 (13 years). We've been spending money to hold off Russia in Germany for 77 years. We've been spending money to hold off N Korea for 72 years. That Ukrainian spending will soon disappear from the headlines and just get clumped with the defense spending like the Korean and German costs. It will go on as long as need be because its stopping the Russians from entering NATO----which is when Americans start actually dying. Preventing Americans from dying defending NATO is about the best dollar for dollar bang for the buck line item in the entire defense department budget.

So, Russia has a smaller economy than Bangladesh, Chile, Hong Kong, Finland, Ireland et al and is only a little bigger than Ukraine.

I know most of what you say is just made up on the fly and largely BS and patriotic bravado, but the fact that you could sit and type that out and not have a huge blaring BS alarm going off in your head is shocking.

American people don’t even has basic precepts of the world around them sometimes. It’s embarrassing. And the ones that should be embarrassed by how little they know are too cocky and/or too dumb to know they should be embarrassed to actually know so little.

lol---So, after claiming for months that Ukrainian Nazis killed 14K innocent citizens in Donbas---you're suddenly worried about hyperbole? Fine, yes, my belittlement of the Russian economy was overstated hyperbole. My point was an economy less than one-fourteenth the size of the US economy (and yes, thats a pretty accurate number) isnt going to be able to outlast the US if this becomes another defense spending contest.

Not buying it for a second. You just have no freaking concept of things. You weren’t comparing Russias economy to the US at all. And if you were using hyperbole, you’d never pick an economy like Iraq that is actually huge to stand in for something that’s really small. That makes no sense either, unless you are just clueless. Nobody would pick one of the worlds major oil exporting countries to stand in for a hypothetical country with a tiny economy.

And I’ve never once stated what you claim I did. Never. I dare you to find it. I dare to find ONE time I said it. You’re on a roll of failure man. Give up already. You’re just lost man. I though you had a little more sense than some of these total buffoons that constantly respond to me, but you’re actually even worse.

Quote:The Biden White House will provide Ukraine with an additional $4.5 billion, increasing the total budgetary support sent to the country since February's invasion by Russia to nearly $60 billion. These new funds will go directly to Ukraine's government.

According to Reuters, the US Agency for International Development made the announcement on Monday: "The funding, coordinated with the U.S. Treasury Department through the World Bank, will go to the Ukraine government in tranches, beginning with a $3 billion disbursement in August, USAID, the Agency for International Development, said," they report.

Transfer payments of $1.7 billion in July and $1.3 billion in June were already made earlier this year. Billions were also provided in military support, and a $1 billion weapons package is expected to make its way in the near future.

Ukrainian officials say that they face a $5-billion-a-month fiscal shortfall due to the war. The World Bank estimates that over half of Ukrainians willl be living in poverty by the end of 2023.

USAID says that the US's financial support to the wartorn Ukraine has allowed for their government to keep gas and electricity flowing to critical infrastructure. The funds have also gone towards teachers, nurses, and other civil servants.

"The United States remains committed to supporting Ukraine and its people in the wake of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war," USAID said in a statement.

The Biden White House approved $54 billion to be sent to Ukraine earlier this year.
