Ukraine crisis: US to give Kiev $200m in defense support

[EvilCat Breath]

Waa it's because Trump loves Russia that he armed the Ukraine! See, told ya!

 

[Dschrute3]

Hey, that's cool. It's not like we're trillions in debt or anything.

US gives Ukraine $200m in defence support

The US has announced it will give Ukraine $200m (£152m) to strengthen its defence capabilities.

In a statement, the Pentagon said the funds would be for training, communications, medical, and other non-lethal operational needs.

The US said it had given more than $1bn in defence support to Kiev since 2014.

In exchange for the Ukraine to stop any cooperation with the Mueller investigation.

Ukrainians Stop Investigating Manafort After Trump Sells Them Missiles. A Win-Win for All Involved.

Ukraine, Seeking U.S. Missiles, Halted Cooperation With Mueller Investigation

Ukraine cut off cooperation with Mueller to curry favor with Trump

This is the very definition of Quid Pro Quo.

Sounds like Democrat Fake News. The reality is, the MIC wants to start another Cold War with Russia. It's running out of credible 'enemies.' It desperately needs the 'Russia Boogeyman' meme. It's massive funding could become even more massive. Always remember, Peace is bad for MIC business.

Yeah, they're very confused sheeple. Democrat Fake News told em this is all about Mueller's scam. So they're going with that. They're mind-controlled loons. It is what it is.

Vox and NYT and Slate vs the opinion of a dschrute or MOTS? You are creating Alt Facts that don't exist, and the fact that you back Russia and her aims color your work red.

Democrat Fake News B.S. It has nothing to do with Mueller's farce. It's about the MIC getting their new Cold War with Russia. It needs that 'Russia Boogeyman.' It's running out of 'Enemies.' Gotta keep that massive funding going.

The war machine is always at work !

Another Democratically-Elected Government overthrown by the US/West. How many nations have they done that to over many years? This one's about starting another Cold War with Russia.

The MIC was getting very nervous about possibly running out of 'enemies.' It was deathly afraid that could reduce their massive budgets. Ukraine was a peaceful stable nation before the US/West illegal Coup. But Peace is bad for business. So, cue the new Cold War. Very sad.

There is absolutely zero evidence whatsoever, that anyone other than the people of the Ukraine, overthrew their government.

No evidence whatsoever.

Fake Alt Right Media and the lies the alt right buy into are obvious to the American voter.

$200 Million in 'Defense' cash is all the proof you need. They have another Puppet Government installed.

So in your world............. $200 Million in defense cash, after Russia invades the Ukraine, is proof of an overthrow 4 years ago? That makes sense to you?

As a side note.... if Russia and the rest of the world, can be completely over thrown with just $200 million.... that's really pathetic.

No illegal Coup, no violent chaos in Ukraine. This $200 Million in American Tax Dollars, is to ensure their new Puppets behave themselves.

 

[Dschrute3]

And on a side note, no one asked me if i wanted my Tax Dollars given to a Ukrainian Government that gained power by way of an illegal Coup. $200 Million in taxpayer dollars, could be much better spent. Or, not spent at all. I don't support this.

Again... you think that a mere $200 Million would ensure puppets behave themselves? Really? Even Ukraine politicians are not that cheap.

My point again was.... you claimed that we overthrew the Ukraine government. No one has provided any evidence, let alone proof of this.

I love that.... an 'illegal coup'. First there was no military coup. The people of the Ukraine rejected their government. Pure and simple.

Second, you can't both say that you are against Russia, but at the same time have no problem with Russian aggression against our allies.

You are being contradictory and untrustworthy.

 

[Darkwind]

Simple fact is, we're broke and can't afford this.

Let Germany finance them since they think they have all the answers.

 

[harmonica]

$1B since 2014?
surely that's a mistake....???!!!

STOP wasting all this $$$$$$$ NOW!!!!

 

[Andylusion]

Simple fact is, we're broke and can't afford this.

The entire purpose of the Federal Government, is to provide national defense against security threats.

Let's get rid of the unconstitutional activities.

Because if we don't stop Russia now..... we will be forced to stop them when they invade Europe. You say they won't do that.

Yeah, and Chamberlain said the same thing, once they let him have Czechoslovakia. And by the way, Putin has openly used the exact same rational for engaging in war against the Ukraine, that Hitler did to engage in war against the the Czechs.

This is not a minor issue.

You want to save money? 2/3rds of the federal budget goes to handouts. Cut SNAP by 1%, and you've saved $700 Million, more than enough to cover $200 Million to oppose Russia aggression.

 

[Issa]

What happened to America first ? LOL....I swear the orange minions are the dumbest group in history....what excuse they have for this one now?

America first as explained by the orange and his minions we will take care of our own first and then if we have any lift overs we might give to others....200 million dollars could've taken care of thousands of homeless veterans, but nooo we need to weaponize others.....as if we a budget surplus.


No excuse. It is a bad policy.

Though, I'm interested how you work "America First" into this. Are you so utterly and insanely stupid that you are implying that "America First" means never giving anything to anyone outside of America?

Or is it something even dumber?

 

[frigidweirdo]

something that can't hurt us.

Well, other than more money being wasted on conflict that doesn't involve us.

But then how did Iraq in 2003 involve the US?
