Russia & Ukraine

[gwb-trading]

I find it funny and desperate, how people like you and gwb-trading reply back with internal Russian politics to my posts that show the evil being done to Ukrainians by their own government.

My tax money is not going to fund Russia, i care very little about what Russians are doing internally to their own people. Not my business, the Russian people themselves voted for and love Putin.

I care 100x more about the evil things that are being done with my money in Ukraine.

Pootie Poot is doing such a "great job". Time to send in the cripples into his meat grinder. The few survivors will be infected with disease.

Diseases have defeated invading armies in the past...

so basically according to ukraine propaganda russia is losing rapidly
if only usa provided another 60 bln this week and another 60 bln next week

You are muttering nonsense again. Over 70% of Americans support providing aid to Ukraine to stop Russian aggression. Rational Americans understand that this is an investment in stopping World War 3 by not appeasing a brutal dictator, Putin. The world has learned a lesson that appeasement does not work -- as shown clearly before WW2. The money spent on military aid for Ukraine primarily goes to American armament manufacturers and create jobs for numerous U.S. citizens -- thus supporting our economy.

Even Republicans have now recognized that supporting Ukraine is a winning formula -- as outlined by the Wall Street Journal.

70% of americans have no idea where ukraine is and if its a country, town or russia's village

which basically what the article you posted says.

The vote for military aid has made no difference in GOP primaries

Your response is not only illogical, it's also inconsistent. . You claim to be unconcerned about what evil the Russian government is doing to it's own people because the people of Russia "elected" its autocratic leader; yet you aren't concerned about what Russia is doing to Ukraine even though the Ukrainians did NOT elect Putin. You should use a more consistent argument such as "I don't care what the Russian government does to its people, because they elected their government; I don't care what the Ukrainian government is doing to it's people because they elected their government. I just don't want to have any of my tax money going to either country because they are both evil." At least that's a consistent argument no matter how selfish, short sighted, or incorrect it may be.

The tax money you personally are spending to support Ukraine is pathetically small. In truth, if the USA was to contribute the same proportion of its overall economy as some of the European nations are contributing, than the USA would have to contribute substantially more.

Comparisons must be done relative to the sizes of underlying economies, or on a per capita basis. The U.S. is a skinflint in this regard in comparison with, say, Denmark, for example. If the USA was to contribute the same proportion of its overall economy as some of the European nations are contributing, than the USA would have to contribute substantially more. Any comparisons must be done relative to the sizes of underlying economies, or on a per capita basis. The U.S. is a skinflint in this regard in comparison with, say, Denmark, for example. One-hundred twenty billion is a very small amount of money relative to a 27 trillion economy. It 0.4%

Maths is not your strong point, 165million US tax payers means each has spent approx $1000 dollars on funding this war.

Worth every last dime if it means that Putin will not further his aggression to other countries and start WW3.

I will note nearly all the money spent on Ukraine goes toward paying manufacturers of munitions located in the United States -- providing jobs for our citizens and circulating dollars in our communities. Money well spent.

It seems the Russians keep dropping their glide bombs on Belgorod inside Russia.

Fortunately for the residents the bombs are so crappy that many times they fail to explode. The Ukrainians have had the same experience with approximately half of Russian FAB glide bombs being duds. This, of course, is on top of their basically medieval guidance systems -- which as seen by the Belgorod experience to be consistently faulty and inaccurate. This is noted by the Ukrainians as well -- typically 3 or 4 Russian FAB guide bombs must be aimed at a fixed target before one of them comes close enough to do any damage.

Russian glide bombs' faulty guidance systems may have led to dozens being dropped on its own territory, experts say
https://www.businessinsider.com/rus...rritory-likely-faulty-guidance-systems-2024-7

• Russia has dropped at least 38 glide bombs on its Belgorod region, per The Washington Post.
• The outlet cited an internal Russian document intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence.
• The cause may be a cheap, faulty guidance system, military analysts said.

it's good you're honest
so basically every american including babies contribute several hundred dollars per year to advance ukrainian nazism

now imagine hypothetical referendum with 2 questions

1. you get 500 hundred dollars cash per year for each family member

2. Money will be sent to ukrainian nazis on the other side of the earth, who consider their population as slaves hunting them down on streets and sent to die to the front lines. Some of those money will be sent back to bribe american officials and finance internet trolls like gwb trader

You're not obligated to explain why you don't want the U.S. government to contribute to Ukraine's war effort. But if you do, why not attempt to be rational?
