  1. US financed a proxy war in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, but at what price to world peace. Actions often have unintended consequences. Give money yes, but mind the unintentional consequences.

  2. Polls show GOP +1 across the board. GOP will take Congress which holds the check book. Check yes, just not "blank", get it?

  3. The US sent money to Afghanistan in a proxy war against the Soviets, it did help to bring down the Soviet Union, but at what cost to world peace?

  4. We don't spell "check" your way, nor do we define "investment" they way socialist do.

  5. The is an English language feed from Germany for the UK, Canada and the US, not Europe.

  6. The "Lend or Lease" Act is now in the hands of the President and Senate, not congress.

  7. I'm a California Dem since 1973 voting straight GOP. Why is a free, blank check ok with you?

  8. Imagine even better results with oversight and a deeper mutual understanding of how aid is used. "Aid" should be mutual between friends.

  9. Trump is not running in 2022, which tells me you are just a troll.

  10. I'm a videographer and can make you look many different ways in post-production. What makes you think he added the color your describe?

  11. Why was this not mentioned: "Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022". It's not a blank check and received massive bi-partisan support. It's now in the hands of the President and Senate, not the Congress. DW shilling for Dems, again.

  13. McCarthy won't even be the new majority leader of the GOP, you are off target.

  14. Polling trends as of 10/18 have GOP up +1 across the board, and they will win Congress, sorry. Also know that McCarthy has made it clear he will not be the new Majority Leader. Can you guess who will?

  15. Sure, we heard that before, like IRAQ will pay with oil. It was not until 2006,that Britain fully repaid its lend-lease debts to the United States from World War II. Do you know what the "lease" is.

  16. No, it is not LEND LEASE, the actual ACT reads "LEND OR LEASE"

  17. @Farmer Stole My Tank No issue with writing the check, we only ask for oversight. Democrat Harry Truman got the VP job for exposing graft in military allocations, and Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex, this is bi-partisan. DW gets it wrong, again.

  18.  @brucel7430  Not a good read of US politics, sorry. Level of support is strong, even among "trump wing", just not a free, blank check. Asking for oversight and quid-pro-quo is good for everyone, will strengthen ties with Ukraine, and make for a better world.
