The Biden administration has asked Congress for more than $105 billion for Ukraine, Israel and U.S. border security, but so far Republicans in the House have said no.
We are not “giving” hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
We are giving them mothballed weapons that are going to rot in a wearhouse somewhere, then replacing them with new weapons that are manufactured right here in the US and that industry whether you like it or not employs thousands of american workers.
Its important that this fight is won by Ukraine because:
A) a win by Russia and they control a MAJOR food producer and can affect food prices on a whim.
B) the US letting it happen proves we won’t stick by any ally and our word is useless. Good luck finding help in a major war.
C) the US walking away gives a green light to China to invade Taiwan. Making them the sole producer of high-end computer chips.
There is so much at stake with this war. it’s not even funny.
Like I said, I want them to win. It’s important they win. For all of the reasons you gave. All I’m saying is that it gets harder and harder to support and hope for others when I feel like my family is drowning and I know that my neighbors are too. I know a lot of it is weapons funding, some of it isn’t. I wish we treated the people at home as importantly as we do world conflicts, that’s all I’m saying. Does no one else feel that apathy?
