How is helping a country defend against an imperialist and genocidal invader somehow immoral?
They're invading another country and murdering the citizens. Forgive me if I don't feel pity for dead Russian soldiers.
Making fun of dead and/or wounded US Soldiers and/or veterans is not moral. Are you funded by Russians?
That's on you for making fun of wounded soldiers in this headline. Explain yourself, or get the fuck out.
Yes. This makes a lot of sense. Doing nothing while a dictator attacks unprovoked and kills women, children, and men is actual good.
Thanks for enlightening me with your infinite wisdom. Praise Putin and all the authoritarian dictators like him.
You couldn't have funded jackshit with those funds because they were not funds, you by and large send over weapons that are about to be decommissioned and value them at replacement costs (which you would've done anyway), not their decommissioning costs (which would imply negative value).
As you were talking healthcare in another comment: The US spends just as much federal tax dollars per capita on health care as the UK spends per capita on the NHS. It's not that you're not spending the money it's that you'd rather shove it into corporate profits than actual medicine.
You know who's actually bankrolling Ukraine? As in quite literally paying the wages of state employees because their economy tanked and they have no tax revenue while simultaneously fighting a war? Europe is. And we're sending weaponry, old and new, not rarely stuff our own armies don't even have yet.
