the weapons were already made years/decades ago and have an expiration date...

we taxing them for old food from the fridge...

we not giving them money to go grocery shopping

It seems people think the U.S. have been giving actual money

 

[ORDER_66]

"error"....right.

Biden is trippin. And giving tens of billions to Ukraine has to be way more to the story than USA just being generous

They want to beat Russia THAT badly... it's disgusting...

at the end of the day, taxpayers paid for it

They mind their p's and q's when checking your individual accounts though

If the government ever accidentally sends you $20 your way they'd intercept that envelope right on that mail truck before it even makes it to your street.

Correct. Then be mad at the military budget in 2004 not Ukraine in 2023

 

[Gloxina]

Dont ask em about an audit though

We just wound down from two 20 year wars...

Biden is basically giving a loan to ukraine for all the military hardware we already have stockpiled...

yall keep saying this is warhawk shyt...

but selling off the inventory of weapons you have seems like the exact opposite...

 

[Easy-E]

Yo, this Ukraine shyt is like a Chapelle Show skit

And apparently we're not at war with Russia

Unless we're secretly fighting aliens...WTF?

Selling? Loans? Ukraine has never been a rich country, even before the war wasnt even a top 50 country gdp wise weve sent near 50% of their gdp

In 2021, ukraine gdp was 200 billion

We’ve sent 75 billion



How the fukk a broke ass country, which will be even worse off after the war, going to repay us

 

[Germms]

DoD book keeping is ass. It's toooooo much money. Even on a small scale that shyt is terrible. They literally just swipe a card and put the reciept wherever going back to the 80's. So when audits come it's just a bunch of shrugging and you get shyt like this. These nikkas have been failing audits for years.

So what happens to them? Nothing lmao.

 

[Macallik86]

I feel like a lot of yall aren't really putting $6.2 billion in context. We've given them $115 billion in 2022, so $6.2 billion is 5% more money.

Also, yall comparing it to reparations like economists haven't predicted a reparations price tag as high as $12 trillion.

Not that it has to be an either/or thing, but moreso that yall are parroting some Republican talking points
