Rand Paul Blocks $40 Billion Aid Package to Ukraine - Mitch and Schumer both ANGRY

[CrusaderFrank]

LIAR. Rand is on the taxpayers side not Putins.

Rand wants an IG's oversight, I agree.

10% for the Big Guy

 

[gipper]

Massive failure for you. Your imagined scenario is a false equivelancy. We are not at war with Russia, Ukraine is.

Must you always support the government Allen?

 

[meaner gene]

How about a $40 billion aid package for Americans? They conjure up money for Ukraine and other countries fast as fuck, but not a dime of relief for U.S. citizens struggling right now...

They tried to get much bigger packages for American relief, only to have the republicans vote no.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

What hasn't worked is Wilsonian do-gooder interventionism....That model made the 20th century the most bloody in human history.

Wilson hated Negros

Must you always support the government Allen?

Must you always lie about everything and deny reality lee?

Thank You Rand Paul.

Unless you didn't realize it. Every dollar we put in Ukraine, has a multiplier effect in weakening Russia. We spend $80K on a missile that takes out a $4 million Russian tank.

That is irrelevant.

We get nothing back for it.

How many tanks Russia lost in Ukraine?

Russia has reportedly lost more than 650 tanks and about 3,000 other armored vehicles and heavy equipment so far in its invasion of Ukraine. Experts put the losses down to the advanced anti-tank weapons given to Ukraine by Western countries, poor strategy, low morale, and important design flaws.

 

[Flash]

it's called Corruption

entrenched

Congresspersons are like

kind of like cockroaches... They are not always seen, always more hidden "in the walls" than in your kitchen...

and Once you get them... sigh.. hard to be rid of.. although there ARE ways to get rid of them

literal cockroaches, that is

Increasing the salaries of those shitheads in the DOJ after them letting all that destructive BLM filth get away with insurrection and massive damage and spending an enormous amount of time going after the 1/6 Patriots is absolutely disgusting. I guess that is Libtard payback.

I support helping the Ukrainians with weapons but absolutely no increased government spending. We spend far too much on the cost of the filthy ass Federal government now.

Take the money to give weapons to the Ukrainians out of welfare for the goddamn Illegals. That would be the right thing to do.

Sure we do. If we degrade Russian ability to invade another country, we don't need as many forces in Europe. We no longer have to prop up NATO, who would be able to counter Russia without us.

It would be like the fall of the soviet union.

They alreaqdy can counter Russia without us.

We already need no forces in europe.

We get nothing from this money

Guess again. Without the US, NATO would be a disjointed force. Like having a boat full of rowers, but no coxswain

Wrong.

They woyuld function just fine without us

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Wrong.

They woyuld function just fine without us

If that were true NATO would never have been created.

The History of Europe without NATO and the US as the enforcer is one of never ending wars of conquest for as far back as history has been recorded in Europe.

Unless you didn't realize it. Every dollar we put in Ukraine, has a multiplier effect in weakening Russia. We spend $80K on a missile that takes out a $4 million Russian tank.

The switchblade drone only costs about 6,000.00 and this war is giving us a test bed for them and other new technologies we'd have never had without it.

You only prove lots of things to a certain level in testing but until they are proven on the battlefield they always remain suspect.

The Ukrainians are taking it even further using commercial delivery drones to locate enemy armor and bunkers and destroying them with 200.00 grenades and mortar rounds dropped from above.

There are of course no facts to support such idiotic claims.

 

[meaner gene]

Wrong.

Like in Libya?

Russia started the war with around 2,600 tanks in total in service around the world. They've lost right at 1/4 of them already in Ukraine and lose more daily.

They've lost roughly 30% of their total pre war number of armored vehicles.

In twenty years in Afghanistan and Iraq, we lost fewer than half that number to enemy action.
