    In 5 months, the US has pissed away more money in Ukie land than the US....who was actually doing the fighting....spent in the first 5 years of the Afghanistan War. That's a helluva lot of corruption. May all these Nazi supporting politicians rot in hell.

    "The Biden administration and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pledged to counter Russia’s war in Ukraine and the threat it poses to European security, and the funds so far committed to Kyiv already exceed U.S. costs for the first five years in Afghanistan.

    The Biden administration on Friday announced another $400 million military drawdown package to Ukraine as it attempts to fend off Russian advances.

    The latest package was reportedly tailored in coordination with Ukrainian officials for what they specifically need on the front lines and comes just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory over the eastern Luhansk region."

    So was the first $60 billion committed and spent just throwing :icon_shithappens: against the wall? I suppose when it's all being stolen it doesn't much matter.

    Billions spent to defend Ukraine's borders... while our own are wide open to human trafficking, drug trafficking and illegal aliens pour across.

    The federal government is so far out of control that it's disgusting. Eisenhower was so damn right in warning about the military industrial complex.

    as @AARguy pointed out, if 60 billion was spent on our southern border, thousands upon thousands of Americans wouldn't be dead from illegal drugs, victims of illegal aliens, etc. So just stop with that bullshit. You must be a foreigner that thinks money just grows on trees over here.

    Except Biden is continuing the border wall.
    https://www.texastribune.org/2022/02/25/texas-border-wall-biden/

    So there goes that false narrative. Your speculations just arnt ever accurate, give em a rest.
    Thousands upon thousands of Americans purchase the reasons they come over the border. Stop buying their stuff, they will stop coming over here.
    And even if we had zero border crossings, Men would still be raping woman.

    Really, so the Trump wall and the border wall doesn't work and neither does the border patrol?

    Nothing works when the white house opens the borders to all who want to come.

    Throwing money at the southern border won't accomplish diddly squat.

    Construction of Trump's all was halted when Biden took over. How could you miss that? The Border Patrol is hamstrung by Biden's rules... things like "Title 42" decreed under Trump, which would have sent illegals back across the border to wait in Mexico for their hearings. Now they are just passed on into the US, making babysitters and logisticians out of the Border Patrol. Have you ever read a newspaper or seen news other than CNN?

    Doing Environmental Impact Statements and construction to prevent any flooding effects is a far cry from "continuing the border wall" to secure the border against illegals, drugs, and human trafficking.

    Many, many "immigrants". Not so many ILLEGAL immigrants. My own ancestors were immigrants. They came through Ellis Island and met all requirements for LEGAL immigration. Do you understand the difference between "legal" and "illegal"?

    Who ever referred securing America from itself? Folks from New Jersey aren't sneaking across the border... its folks ILLEGALLY crossing from Mexico, Haiti, Venezuela and lots of other countries. Do you understand the meaning of "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION"?

    If one sneaks over the borders then they are illegally entering yet the entire history of the US the borders have been open until the nuclear age.

    We don't know where any of it goes, and we're OK with that ...apparently.

    "It's a conscious risk the Biden administration is willing to take.
    In the short term, the US sees the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of equipment to be vital to the Ukrainians' ability to hold off Moscow's invasion. A senior defense official said Tuesday that it is "certainly the largest recent supply to a partner country in a conflict." But the risk, both current US officials and defense analysts say, is that in the long term, some of those weapons may wind up in the hands of other militaries and militias that the US did not intend to arm.
    "We have fidelity for a short time, but when it enters the fog of war, we have almost zero," said one source briefed on US intelligence. "It drops into a big black hole, and you have almost no sense of it at all after a short period of time.""

    What happens to weapons sent to Ukraine? The US doesn't really know - CNNPolitics

    Weapons have popped up for sale within days of being delivered to Ukie land. Javelins have made their way as far as Syria. Some teenagers in Odessa got busted for trying to sell a javelin on telegram or some other popular website. French mobile howitzers have found their way deep into Russia as have apparently one American HIMARS. It's totally out of control.

    A very small price to pay to defeat the next Hitler.
