Don’t tell me that sleepy Joe will send more billions of dollars to Israel just like sending money to Ukraine. How about spending that money raising teacher wages, fixing infrastructure, resolve the border crisis, and pay off the debt? Please I am not supporting republicans so don’t target me on that. I just believe there are problems with the current administration.
They already get many billions from the US every year. But what they paid to Ukraine was tremendous.
I don’t know how Ukraine will ever be able to pay the US back. You are asking $600 billion reconstruction dollar from a country with GDP of only $200 billion a year.
The US doesn't need to get a penny back from Ukraine to have supporting them be worth it. Russia being removed as a geopolitical rival and having its military trashed is invaluable: it means that the only other meaningful rival is China, that China is more isolated militarily and economically, and that our European partners (NATO!) are more secure.
Do you mean Palestinian infants?
Money didn't go to Ukraine, but to US defense industry. Just saying...
Beyond that, most of what was sent to Ukraine is obsolete US weapons like the M777 or Bradley, that we are paying to replace (with the Brutus truck-mounted howitzer and OMFV) whether the old stuff goes to Ukraine or not. The Abrams we are sending over there are A1 models that have been parked in the desert since Clinton was President
Ukraine should give the US the exclusive right to drill oil and gas with minimal taxation after the war.
The Israeli and US defense industries buy from each other constantly. Put down the idiotic populist nonsense - were better off sending products made from that money overseas than handing 'stimmy' checks to trailer trash so they can get new TVs
Israel gets about 3 billion a year for military spending but the $ can only be spent buying US made weaponry and equipment So the money end up in the US and providing local jobs. Which checks all the poll boxes
Bro thinks the US runs on flowers and rainbows.
Too late Already done
Support US. US should focus its resources on fixing its problems no the world problems. Let ROW handle its issues for once.
Soviet Union spent so much money supporting other countries and lead to its downfall.
US supports other countries and that’s why it’s a world superpower. Just gotta do it the smart way.
OP seems to think the money going to Ukraine is an investment which needs a monetary return. 🤷 I wrote elsewhere that isolationism is legit strategy proposal… but that it sometimes goes spectacularly wrong.
What would be wrong with asking for a monetary return? Or strategic favor?
The strategic favor is Ukrainians paying with their blood and lives not only for their freedom but also to eliminate US enemy without Americans dying.
Israel does not need arms or money, they can handle this
