It's not cash, though.

"This week’s package includes many of those weapons Ukraine needs most, though it solely involves equipment America has sent in the past.'

Didn't say suggest or infer it's cash Carpy, what I did suggest is the American MIC has made billions on this war, and under this current administration it seems to be the only thing keeping the economy afloat, so I guess there's that LOL.

The point remains I haven't heard Raytheon or Lockheed donating squat below were the top war profiteering companies in 2017. A quick search on the top 10 companies not seeing any public donations as of right now companies have pledged 137 million with Lowes and Home Depot donating 2 million each.

Thats the point of the thread, well that and with the way the world is heading the military "aid" might be used better elsewhere that's not so stalemated.

Ukraine is invading another country? You mean Kursk?

They are fighting a massive invasion!

You want to throw bits of Europe under the bus?

Under a bus?
What is this magical bus you speak of?


Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus)
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus)
You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)
Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, Magic Bus)
You'll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, Magic Bus)
I don't want to cause no fuss (Too much, Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, Magic Bus)
Nooooooooo!

What does the military industrial complex have to do with natural disaster relief?

Natural disaster relief that even the Republican Governors of affected areas said themselves that they got what they needed.

It's $425 million in prizes, not cash.

For scale, $425 million is .01% of California's GDP.

137 million has already been collected from other American corporations, for Helene and Milton

Why in your world are military companies that have profited immensely from our "aid packages" to Ukraine, exempt from charity elsewhere like Florida, Georgia, Carolinas, and Tennessee?

Hmmm well thats progress before you were concerned Russia would take over all of Europe and the UK.

Perhaps now you see the stalemate in Ukraine shows the Russian military who just borrowed 10,000 North Korean soldiers barely has the manpower to project its force anywhere.

While you can squirm and wring your hands over the possibilities of the smaller states like Estonia being "invaded" these states are too small and have more problems than thier stolen resources could produce for Mother Russia.

No, never suggested any such thing.

Quite the opposite. I have mentioned Article 5 often.

Whose "squirming"?

What "stolen resources"?

That’s an interesting view from your crystal ball.
I suppose it is possible that may be Putin’s plan but it’s highly unlikely, especially considering how their little operation in Ukraine was supposed to go.
Regardless, America isn’t the world police.
We protect ours and our allies interests.
I also suspect that if the US wasn’t giving aid to Ukraine, none of you Europeans would be either.

Well, good luck with your isolationism and tariffs.

We
are committed to defending Ukraine even if you bug out.

Maybe I shouldn't post while preparing dinner.... one would assume Russia would have a reason to invade say Estonia or Moldova, yet most former Soviet block nations DO NOT have enough natural resources for Russia to exploit after your invasion concerns. Whereas Ukraine was much more exploitable than the nation-states you are concerned about next on Putin's list.

When did taking care of our citizens and allies citizens become isolationist?
Did you just make that up Carpy? 🍻

When did the UK become one with Ukraine?
I thought the UK despised nazis.

Putin wants to enrich Putin and end sanctions for him and the wealthy Russian business men, secure his future, and he will have to rebuild the Russian Military before he tries a Peter the Great impersonation and conquests anywhere. Thats just the reality of the situation, minimum would be 5 years probably more like 7.

Go get the scumbag now I want to know what they did...
