Democrat Schumer: Give me money or else your sons will die in war.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday threatened to send US troops to fight Russia unless Republicans agree to his $100 billion world aid bill currently stalled in Congress.
The Senate’s $118.28 billion national security supplemental package allocates $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
“We’re at a turning point in America. This bill is crucial and history will look back on it and say did America fail itself,” Schumer said.
“If we don’t aid Ukraine, Putin will be walk all over Ukraine, we will lose the war and we could be fighting in eastern Europe and a NATO ally in a few years. Americans won’t like that,” Schumer said.

WTF ... it's OUR MONEY! For crying out loud, 20% of American children go to bed hungry at night and we have elderly who can't afford the rent and groceries. SPEND IT HERE. Sending aid money to Ukraine and Gaza etc etc ... JUST STOP! I get the whole thing about stopping Russian expansion is good for America and that the Ukraine are innocent ... and that there are people suffering in Gaza ... but come on! No matter how much we send over there, they still won't like us so we should stop trying to buy their love AND we are NOT the only country on the planet. Others should be helping out not just us all the time with handing over our tax money.
Maybe this belongs in RANT instead of politics. Well anyways ... here's the story on what Schumer said.
