#Ukraine #Russia #Zelenskyy
Fund my freedom by paying my bills.
The world can't handle 45 million Ukrainian refugees flooding the globe. Hardly any Ukrainians now live in Russian held territory. Meaning if Putin takes Ukraine we will see the biggest refugee crisis since WW2. The few US folks who are anti Ukraine forget about that aspect of this war, and is one of several serious reasons we all need to stop Putin now
that is a message for Putin not Zelenskyy. I am a pacifist but I believe in supporting our allies. In the event the US doesn’t support Ukraine, do you really think Putin intends to stop there? I sure don’t and as soon as Putin troops step foot into a NATO country (ie Poland) we are not just sending munitions and artillery etc to Ukraine, we are sending our troops. The US is not sending Ukraine cash, we are sending them our outdated equipment and in the process, creating American jobs in the process to replenish stockpiles with modern technology and equipment.
@user-sf3pv4td1l That is the fault of MAN For as long as he has existed there has always been wars over land and wealth the land produces. Remember the Indian wars?
@user-sf3pv4td1l You're a genius, just make war illegal and it won't happen anymore
@user-sf3pv4td1l tell that to Putin: "war is forbidden", please retreat from Ukraine.
We are funding someone's pockets. And I'm tired of it.

And who are you, Ivan? Putin is now in his fifth term. Putin changed the Russian Constitution 3 times.
@@thinkerly1
They held a national vote and 78% of Russian citizens approved of the amendments. Which is more than the Ukrainazi dictator Zelenskyy permits in his "democracy".
Incidentally.... do you know what amendments were made to the Russian Constitution?
The permitted term of Zelensky's rule by the constitution has ended. There is no legitimate president in Ukraine. However, there was no such legitimate president before that.
Globalists have made Ukraine a prison country. But according to the new law on mobilization, even prisoners in prisons in Ukraine soon will be obliged to fight. The average life expectancy of a Ukrainian soldier is 40 days - I follow the obituaries, which tell when a person was mobilized (99% forcibly). They are buried on average 40 days after mobilization.
No! No more aid for Ukraine!!!
What a crock, you lock up your political rivals
Yes we are funding it,, and we're tired of that bs 😒
No. Russian trolls are tired of that.
Why? The reason why we are protecting them is to honor our agreement that they surrender their nuclear weapons. If the US is unable to back their protection agreement we will see nations everywhere taking up nuclear arms and refusing to trust the strength of the US military. Is that good for the country? Why should we be concerned about what Vladimir Putin wants? Why should we sacrifice the people of Ukraine?

It is a a RUSSIAN Orthodox Catholic Church in "Ukraine"..who have ties to Moscow, Russia that has been "banned" has to do more with the political stance of Russia. ! In 2018 the Ukraine Orthodox Catholic Church officially split with the Russian Orthodoxy after 300 yrs. The decision, which was approved by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople of the Orthodox Catholic Church. first serious split in over 1000yrs in Orthodox churches. Read up on the history of starting in Greece around 110 AD....beginnings of formalized christianity......big difference between Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics. You can see the division split of empires in World History from East & West...........don't get me started on "Israel" either ...HUGE different between the Zionists who were thrown out of Russia & the rest of the Jewish sects.

The American taxpayer does to the military industrial complex. It’s a bad return on investment. Throw out the warmongers, invest in the real economy to compete and win gainful employment in this country.
they will not pay their live instead
No other NATO country is loaning money or weapons to the Ukraine. What matters to all freedom loving countries is freedom. It has been payed for in blood by all democracies that fought in the 2nd world war. The Ukrainians are paying for freedom in blood. They are protecting our freedom by fighting our arch enemy and tyrannical dictatorship. If you bother to listen to Putin, his is fighting NATO and the Ukraine. You might listen to his rhetoric where he disparages everything about America.
We aren't giving them money. We're giving them supplies. Any money we spend is to replace the supplies we gave away.

You're right, Mr Putin should do his fair share.
We are protecting other countries' borders not the American borders
We had a nice border protection bill proposed a couple months ago. Republicans blocked it.
*Russian troll talking point*
And by protecting the borders of other countries, we stop Putin from invading another peaceful neighbor. Therefore, the US doesn't have to send troops to fight in Europe.

I might be wrong,but hasn't all the help and money we're sending to Ukraine already been taking out of our taxes?
"The IRS processed 164,997,000 individual tax returns in 2022, and 166,898,000 individual tax returns in 2021" "The US collected $5.03 trillion in federal revenues in 2022, up $630 billion from the previous year, after adjusting for inflation.
That equates to $15,098 collected per person, up 14% from 2021. Most revenues came from individual income tax, at $7,898 per person on average, and payroll taxes, at $4,510 per person on average."
Now let's divide $61 billion by 167 million. That's $365 or a dollar a day. Or 2% of the $15,098 from each taxpayer. Of course, some pay more, some less.

Put on a devil suit and people will treat you like the devil.
Hope he understands that he needs to work out a deal on the negotiation table because the next round of money may not come by as easily.
We should all stop paying our taxes if this is how elected officials are wasting our money.
Europe is the US's biggest export market. so important to protect. Besides the money stays in the US paying workers in military factories, and surrounding businesses The world can't handle 45 million Ukrainian refugees flooding the globe. Because if Putin takes Ukraine we will see the biggest refugee crisis since WW2 caused by another crazy dictator.
The few US folks who are anti Ukraine forget about that aspect of this war, Do you want millions of Ukrainian refugees? and is one of several serious reasons we need to stop Putin now
And what about the people of America 🇺🇸 🤔
And what about the Russian agents like you who vomit all over the Web?
You mean wage slaves they are where we get our money for more wars and thru those wars we get more money
Who cares you are putin botlers 😂
Don't worry about us Ivan. We are doing just fine. You need to worry about yourself.
Don't forget to take your ruble ivan

Not happy, me and my husbands tax dollars are going to other countrys regularly when so many homeless in my city alone .
Unfortunately, homeless has been a problem for a long time. Mental health, drug use and low incomes come in to play.
Your city is Moscow,, right?

let them live at your house ..help out your fellow americans
Прости, Иван.

Money for everyone except Americans
Sit down fool
We just had a $2 trillion bailout for American after the Trump tax cuts. $60 billion for Ukraine to stop Russia is well worth it. The majority of American support Ukraine you Russian bot. Cry more.
Shhhhh bot quiet. The adults are speaking
@@S-tank_ Shut your mouth bro, grown people actually take care first of their own, family, and country before giving help to others outside, our country deserves that money more than the Ukranians in a doomed war. You are just fools if you think they will pay us back.

The house wouldn't approve 61 billion dollars if it were coming out of their pockets. This is lame. Zelensky is probably in a hotel room in Monte Carlo.

And yet polish authorities blamed Ukraine, their ally, funny that.
Nordstream Pipelines were severed by a Chinese ship anchor that was dragging along the bottom and hooked onto the pipeline and broke it. That was the latest guess & makes the most sense. A couple of tons on top of a concrete coated metal pipe and it crunches closed or breaks.
That money should go to help people in Maui.
do you actually understand that there's no money that goes to Ukraine? Ukraine only gets weapons and tools for to fight the Russian invasion?

I agree! She's not good!

I'd just love to see her interrogate Putin this way.
She’s one of the top journalists in our country, and does a better job than you would.

20 billion for corrupted Ukrainian, 10 billion for Zelenski, 10 billion for his wife, 10 billion for lobbyists, and the remaining goes ..
80% of the aid is actually going to US manufacturers to replenish stocks. Hence, it is actually funding the US defence and national security.
We need to pray for the US
Go ahead.See how prayers r answered now days.🎉
if that's what it takes to shut you fools up go and pray, the rest of us will deal with reality
Oh yes, of course, pull out the ole prayer book and pray to the god of war of the old testament.
Americans can not afford groceries and yet the US government gives our money to other countries- this will not be forgotten!
And our military industries are thriving by building more equipment to replace the older models being sent to Ukraine. No money is being sent. We have a lend/lease agreement too. Study the events leading up to WWII and this might make more sense.
Grocery prices is beyond belief. The shrinkage and lack of quality makes the situation down right disqusting. Keeping up with enormous prices, utlities, gas, rent, etc. and then we have to watch badly needed funding here at home go to other countries.
It's the Ukrainian war tax! Get used to it.
all of you know, it's about suppliers who survived covid & now they have to pay their bills. They drove their prices up to cover their deficit period. Which is about staying in business/ that is not democratic of republican it's neither fault/ its the desire to maintain a company & the rewards of that staying in business is the motive/. Ask Walmart about their pricing model. or a wine bar. or delivery food. how to stay afloat. Pay the debt in flush times

Right now I am eating an apple and some green grapes. All thanks to Ukraine for protecting me from Putin.

It is unquestionably certain that MANY issues here at home need immediate attention & funding, in addition to disallowing Putin to succeed!!!
Большего бреда в своей жизни не слышал. Это вы трусы раз не можете воевать с Россией 🇷🇺💪
😂😂😂
Great that you thanked the Congressmen and women that passed this aid against the wishes of the majority of taxpayers. Make it last because you won't be getting any more $ after we vote them out of Congress!
I'm totally on board with what you're saying but sadly that won't happen. This will take forever in the worst part is they know it. You might be able to tilt things one direction a little bit more but sadly harvotes don't really matter and I can bet you any amount of money possible that whatever he asked for again, he will get. This is what happens when the federal government becomes too big
THAT WOULD BE VERY DUMB. The money goes to AMERICAN BUSINESSES AND RENEWS AMERICAN MILITARY GEAR TO REPLACE OLDER STUFF WHICH IS BECOMING TOO OLD. Makes American society function far better. You must be a dill!
They are throwing 90 billion dollars like nothing, meanwhile if we ask for aid. They would just say that there's no money left.
The FY23 budget of the United States Marine Corps was $53.8. Look at the last two aid package amounts. Ridiculous.
