In reply to the discussion: Majority of Republicans vote down Greene, Gaetz Ukraine bills [View all]Volaris
(11,691 posts)6. What were getting for our Ukraine investment is worth 10 times what it actually costs...
The primary driver of our trillion dollar a year defense budget, post Vietnam, was put in place by Reagan Republicans (why?...WAIT FOR IT) FOR THE SINGULAR PURPOSE OF DEFEATING THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, by one means or another.
The money were spending on Ukraine is a 10 to 1 steal, compared to what it would otherwise cost to achieve the same ends.
Give them the damn jets, and let them END THIS, already.
Russia doesn't even have to formally surrender. If they run the Russians out of their original territory, take one foot of russian ground to add to their own, retake Crimea, and then hold that ground without firing a shot for 90 days, let them into NATO. THEN if Russia counter-attacks (with what, btw), it's game on.

Money well spent going to Ukraine. Actually, the money stays right here with the weapons

Ironically, it seems as if Putin's helping put Trump in power may destroy Putin.
