as soon as the 40 billion gift to uke passed the uke war story sorta went bye-bye...or am I imagining that?

Probably because people are wondering why we can send 40 billion to Ukraine to protect Ukrainians but we can't come up with the funds to secure our schools or our borders.

exactly. and im pretty sure that was the second 40 billion dollar "donation"

58 rubles to one US dollar today. Was mid 70's to one US dollar when uke conflict started.

Those sanctions are hitting us hard....fjb&co.

I think it is 60 billion from USA to uke, total right now.....

They voted down the school security bill the same day they approved the 40 billion to Ukraine. 9 billion of which was for Ukrainian politician's salaries and pension.

It’s no longer become the profitable distraction it was not long ago. Those who profit thru back channels are taken care of, insuring a future of wealth for themselves should the swing in voting happen this fall.
How in the world can that much of our money be sent/spent somewhere with one side of the aisle demanding there be no oversite authority in charge?

Sorta makes you wonder kind of like when someone’s husband is arrested for drunk driving and causing an accident and within days all charges dropped???

Lining the pockets

Well, you don't get much for $60 billion these days. Especially when none of it needs to be accounted for.

A corrupt government stealing from its people for their own wealth. And I'm not talking Ukraine. And they wants us to believe they have our best intrest in mind as they steal from us. And I lot of people can't see why they want our guns.....
It's dangerous to rob an armed person

You can still follow Ukraine news. But I get your point.

Probably the polling numbers showed Ukraine was going to make Joe look bad yet again.

It seems our government was of the belief that Russia would steam roll Ukraine. And there was no point in getting to involved initially. Then they were in a jam when Ukrainians didn't fold like a book, and had to help them to keep up the US's image.

What happened to the long dark winter of death for the unvaccinated? Same crap, didn't poll well and disappeared.

That's a good point.
Also, could Joe be worried if he doesn't support Ukraine financially will Zelensky spill the beans about how when Joe was VP, he wouldn't give Zelensky money unless he fired the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter? Which Zelensky did. The prosecutor was fired and Ukraine got the money.

Somebody else was president in Ukraine at that time.

Sorry. I thought it was Zelensky. Whoever it was I have seen a video where Joe tells some of his cronies that he was withholding the money for Ukraine unless the prosecutor was fired. He told the president of Ukraine at the time. Then Joe said, "Within hours, the SOB was fired!"

That would be my guess.

Freedom is expensive.

Its gay pride this month.

Much of the "money" being given to Ukraine is being paid directly to the arms companies supplying weaponry, mercenaries and expert trainers that get sent to Ukraine.

I dont think he has too worry much. A lot of beans have been spilled and nothing is done about it. Over and over again.
