biden has at least $100 billion in him to donate before Jan 20th--and maybe a nuke or two. When biden leaves,the DEF-CON will probably ease two levels.

What's funny is that most of those in favor of our involvement are woke liberal democrats types. Generally, my experience is that conservative people are more likely to question our involvement in Ukraine. I don't have any stats on that, just going by what people are telling me and what I see in online debates. I've gotten into it with a fair number of online wokesters on the subject and they almost invariably parrot the party line saying things like Russia has to respect the Ukraine's sovereignty or Putin is a madman who is attacking the Ukraine for no reason blah blah
Basically, they sound like conservatives did back in the 60's and 70's who justified our involvement in the Vietnam war. Kind of ironic but they don't see it.

Exactly. Somehow we're in bizarro world these days. Basically,the problem is,Russia is seen as White--and must be defeated.

RIGHT ON CUE--BIDEN ASKS FOR ANOTHER 24 BILLION DOLLARS FOR UKRAINE NEXT MONTH--IS THAT ALL?


(ZH)The Biden administration has asked Congress to approve $24 billion in additional spending on Ukraine as it’s working to ramp up the proxy war as much as possible during President Biden’s final weeks in office.

POLITICO Pro obtained a request from the White House’s Office of Management and Budget that asked Congress to include additional Ukraine spending in a continuing resolution that’s expected to be voted on next month. Two congressional aides said Congress received the proposal on Monday.


The request asks for $8 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance initiative, a form of military aid that allows the US to purchase weapons for Ukraine, and $16 billion to replace US military equipment that’s been sent to Ukraine.

The money to replenish US weapons would allow the Biden administration to use the remaining Presidential Drawdown Authority for Ukraine, which allows the US to ship weapons directly from US military stockpiles. The administration is looking to rush arms shipments to Ukraine throughout the rest of the transition period.

If Congress agrees to the request, it would bring total US spending on the proxy war, according to publicly available data, to about $210 billion.
