  1. ​​ @cw9282 so cute! You speak with such authority ("period"! LoL) Facts are static though... 1. Ukraine only received $100ish billion in aid. So made up $250, 350, 500 (as listed in the minerals agreement) is not going to be signed. 2. Senate, Congress, President released this money as grants with no clause to return them. It's already history. 3. If Ukraine has to repay weapons supplies then Ukraine must have freedom to purchase whatever they need. Instead they are constantly being held back. 4. USA signed Budapest memorandum guaranteeing territorial integrity. Ukraine isn't asking for USA direct involvement... Not even disagreeing that a "mineral deal" is a good idea (it was Ukraine's idea to begin with). But if there's a deal to be made, it has to benefit both sides. Instead, Trump administration is pretty much recognizing russian occupied territories (against Budapest memorandum). I mean, there's no reason to block Ukraine UN resolution that calls out russian occupation.

  3. How did it go being an isolationist during WW1 and WW2? Also, what do you suggest for those "living paycheck to paycheck"? I mean, let's say this 95b was not allocated to replenish USA military stocks (for the most part) with modern weapons... Are you suggesting sending checks to "people living from paycheck to paycheck"? USA isn't some socialist utopia, bud. Statistics say that 55-60 percent live paycheck to paycheck. Divide this aid package by the population living paycheck to paycheck and you get a one-time handout of about $550. Whooptie Doo - solves nothing domestically. It's a car/gas payment for a month. This help to Ukraine is a net positive for USA. Arms sales are going through the roof, people being employed, etc etc.

  5. ​ @mr.e432 don't come crying for Article 5 when another time comes around. So far only the USA has ever triggered this article. Seems like you are the one forgetting

  8.  @danlee1835  from taxes... Which come from salaries and corporations' operations... Which come from having orders... Which comes (in part) from selling arms and ammunition. And of course from the overall economic stability of the USA/Europe partnership (43 and 30 percent of GDP respectively). And of course Ukraine is in Europe... In fact, the biggest state and one with the biggest population. How's this riddle for ya? Isn't that difficult to close the loop, is it? This package is a rounding mistake in the grand scheme of things. All you have to do is use your 🧠 power to connect more than 2 dots at a time.

  9.  @danlee1835  "printed" money is for programs that don't have any ROI. I just explained to you in the most basic terms how this is all connected and there is an ROI on helping defend Europe. I didn't even mention side effects... One example is enormous, long term LNG deals USA made with Europe thanks to Europe cutting ties with Russian gas. These deals are worth a trillion(s) of dollars over the next decades and again, bring jobs to the USA.

  10. 2:00 and here's the problem. He was fighting corruption when instead he should have been against dictatorship and criminal wars. But no, his famous phrase was "Crimea is not a sandwich to give it back to Ukraine". If rusZia had less corruption (i.e. more money to the military), just imagine how much more damage Ukraine would sustain

  11.  @TheOne-xu5oy  🤦‍♂️ Europe/NATO and other USA allies are BUYING USA arms and ammunition. BUYING is the key word. This isn't a secret, anyone can look up that right now this sector is booming. This means steady employment in this enormous industrial complex. This means Americans have money to spend, this means the economy is booming. Oh by the way, have you even checked the latest economy stats? Clearly not. Record stock market numbers, job growth more than anticipated and lowest unemployment rate since like 60s or 70s. "Should be lumped with"? And why in the world would you do that after the verifiable facts I just laid out? As in - this aid is a net positive for the economy. Who said it's "unnecessary" when in fact it's a positive effect on the USA economy?

  13. ​​ @reddi672 Ukraine is defacto doing the work NATO was created for - defending Europe from USSR (now RF). Europeans understand it.. USA is a backstabbing tramp

  15. Looks like "border issue" isn't an issue anymore. Otherwise I'd be in the congress to vote on

  16. They are just repeating what Trump's campaign told them. Imagine what the tech children in schools.

  17. Should have talked about war criminals and dictator instead of corruption. With less corruption ruszo military would only do more damage in Ukraine

  18.  @GetPregnantGetPregnant  Are you thick? Read again what I said. I don't care if you don't have enough brain power to comprehend dependencies and cause/effect

  19.  @SashCohen-t5z  no, it's your "logic". Don't put words into my mouth. I explained in basic terms (using verifiable facts) how the European economy is intertwined with the American economy. And I explained how "staying out" from European wars ended up biting America later on. It happened EVERY time there was a major war. And today it's another major war - the biggest war since WW2. Common sense is your friend

  21.  @Raise_the__bar  huh? What does it have to do with what I'm saying here? I've been living in the USA since 1994.

  22. This isn't just about denial of care. In many cases the price is so high that it's pretty much "denial" as the end result because a person cannot afford it

  23. My family immigrated from Ukraine in 1994 because of the deep-rooted government corruption. I was only 15 back then. Today I'm witnessing something something we couldn't have ever imagined - the USA "institutions" turning to corruption and Ukrainian "institutions" actually trying really hard to fight corruption. Actually, I shouldn't say "institutions"... It's people that vote. About 20 years ago i had to get a Security Clearance for my job position. Some government agent stopped by in person to interview me and one of the main topics was about my financial situation. The idea is - if you are financially vulnerable, then you are considered a security risk. Well, Trump is as vulnerable as anyone can be and he's looking to be elected to the highest position (arguably, in the world). 🤦‍♂️

  24. 8:30 ok, i don't think anyone is defending Dems hiding Biden's condition. But you have to put both candidates on the scale and pick the one that lies/d the least. The answer here is pretty clear.
