If you call saying something stupid is giving me a cookie, I have to warn you that I am a diabetic and I cannot deal with cookies..
That's the spirit ... And thanks again for embracing your thoughtful desire to share such enlightening comments.
I would simply be remiss if I failed to give you yet another cookie ...

I guess you are like most people on this board and cannot read. The delay will only be a matter of days.The OP's article doesn't detail where the $40b is going. According to NBC News (if you believe them):
Only $6 billion in "intelligence, equipment and training for its forces"
The $8.7b for the Pentagon and $3.9b for U.S. troops makes some sense, but...Didn't we already cover the cost of ammo we sent in the first $13.9 billion? Shouldn't the $3.9 billion for the troops come out of the regular operating budget of $700 billion they have this year?
I call bull-shit on the magnitude of other items: $8.8 billion to the Kyiv government? $5 billion for food to other countries around the world? $1 billion to the 100,000 Ukrainian refugees in USA ($10,000 each)?
I'm glad he stopped it. At a minimum, we need to know that the money is going where it is supposed to go, and not ending up in the back pockets of the communists they are fighting against. Haste Makes Waste.
The pattern will repeat itself because there is always some crisis that requires additional funding.ART as I recall you are or were a teacher and well educated. To me our inept politicians seem to be borrowing and spending us to ruin. Like pretty much every apex empire has over the past 5,000 years. Be honest do you think we can put a stop to this or is this pattern of stupidity likely to repeat itself again with the USA?
That's the Democrat way. Hadn't you noticed?Why are we financing the war in Ukraine when millions suffer here at home.
That's sick!
Inability to read strikes another one's brain down to mush. The delay will only be a matter of days. One senator cannot stop legislation from passing. He can prevent a unanimous consent motion to immediately vote on a bill. All senators can do that.Rand Paul is one of the only good ones left..

"Gerber Baby Food", Infamil Baby Formula, two different things.So MILK is not Food? I guess all babies just starve until they can chew?
Actually, Paul has no objection to the money. He wants accountability as to how its spent.We've given them enough. NO MORE.
America first is nazi nationalism reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeweee

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Thursday on bipartisan hopes that the Senate could quickly pass nearly $40 billion in Ukraine aid before leaving town for the week. Paul objected to a deal offered by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that would have set up votes on Thursday afternoon on the funding and on an amendment from Paul, who wanted to include language in the bill to expand an Afghanistan inspector general role to include oversight of the Ukraine funds.
Thoughts on this GOPer being on Putin's side?
We've been funding wars against Russia and Proxy wars against Russia since the fifties, we haven't found ourselves in a direct conflict with them yet as a result.So let me get this right, Neocon Biden Regime supporters insist not funding a war against Russia will cause a war with Russia.
Rand Paul for President!
I may not agree with him on things like this but we need more People Like Rand Paul in congress to keep everyone else honest and call them out when they are not.America first is nazi nationalism reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeweee
Support demockwacy reeeeeee
This country needs more Rand Paul's in government...at every level

Thiers no reason we should be interfering with Ukraine....we've or rather the shithouse US government did enough interfering in 2014I may not agree with him on things like this but we need more People Like Rand Paul in congress to keep everyone else honest and call them out when they are not.
People need to be forced to think about how many dollars we send overseas, often to unfriendly countries and what those dollars could pay for at home.
At least with the Lend Lease aspects of helping Ukraine we can get some benefit in return in the future.
Bullshit, Ukraine is a sovereign nation, Russia has no business invading like they have done twice now.Thiers no reason we should be interfering with Ukraine....we've or rather the shithouse US government did enough interfering in 2014
Russias reaction is justified ....they've only been warning the world for years
Indeed ever since the Jewish immigrants to the USA, the Rosenbergs, provided the USSR with directions on how to make nukes, there was a "cold war." But intervening in Putin's effort to reunite Ukraine, like Lincoln's effort to reunite the South, is more than giving the Taliban weapons like Reagan did in the 80's. Historically "Ukraine" as a geopolitical entity is very chaotic. Usually some other country controlled it. The most stable period was when they were part of the USSR.We've been funding wars against Russia and Proxy wars against Russia since the fifties, we haven't found ourselves in a direct conflict with them yet as a result.
When the threat of the illegal NATO agency acquiring them, of course Putin had to take action or be embarrassed and humiliated.
The Cold War began in 1947, you need to bone up on your history.Indeed ever since the Jewish immigrants to the USA, the Rosenbergs provided the USSR with directions on how to make nukes, there was a "cold war." But intervening in Putin's effort to reunite Ukraine, like Lincoln's effort to reunite the South, is more than giving the Taliban weapons like Reagan did in the 80's.
He's (Putin) no more justified in his "reunification" plans than Kim would be in invading S. Korea under the same guise.
After all, isn't diplomacy the reason free countries elect representatives? Which to his credit Trump actually engaged in.
