Leave it to magat scum to try and deflect to justify this act of wanton theft from a desperate country suffering under the criminal invasion by an authoritarian dictatorship.

This is nothing but ------- pointing the Russian gun at Ukraine and telling them to give the US half of their mineral wealth or we will allow Russia to take all of Ukraine. It is brazen blackmail. It is morally reprehensible.

Let me remind you of a few facts.

In 2022 Ukraine lend lease bill was passed unanimously in the US Senate on April 6, 2022, and passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 417"10[4] on April 28, 2022.

No strings like ------- is retroactively putting on a democratic victim of authoritarian aggression is in there.

And do not for a second fool yourself, this will NOT benefit America, this will benefit the corporations who will go in and strip mine Ukraine of its minerals and the second they are doe, Russia will invade and take the rest because I am sure ------- has no plans to ensure Ukrainian security.

Oh and -------, Europe has provided MORE in defense aid to Ukraine, but ------- is leaving them out in the cold.

This is vile, destabilizing, and immoral and right in line with magat scum values.

And, yet again, I am proven right in my predictions.

I predicted the wholesale transformation of our country.

We have officially disregarded our allies and embraced dictatorships. We are abandoning Europe, antagonizing our neighbors and embracing Putin.

That realignment of our foreign policy is tremendous. 80 years of stable and prosperous alliances thrown out the window.

And ------- morons are cheering.

China is swooping in and taking advantage of our withdrawal of USAID and throwing tariffs on developing nations and threatening to invade sovereign countries. While we dump immigrants on these countries and threaten tariffs or military action, China is building ports for trade.

------- morons will wonder 5 years from now, why Vietnam, Africa and South and Central America have all these trade agreements with Brazil, India and China and we can't sell ---- there or acquire any of their natural resources.

For the FDR comparison to hold any water, the US's lend lease program would have started from 1939 to be providing aid to GB and later the USSR with no conditions and then circa November 1941, FDR got together with hitler to come to an agreement where hitler got all of France, the low countries, Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia, much of North Africa and to the east on a line roughly from Leningrad to Rostov on the Don as well as Great Britain having to oust Churchill and putting Sir Oswald Mosley in as PM, while forcing GB, USSR, France, China et al each paying America a half billion dollars.
All without any security guarantees against further German aggression.

Of course, there is no equivalency, because FDR wasn't a fascist dictator

The same could not be said for the current US president.

And, I will say without question, this action is morally bankrupt.
