Zelenskyy has no chance without massive US support. For 3 years that support has maintained a status quo of death, destruction and hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars down the drain. It's time to end the war unless you think the US need to escalate it so your butt buddy can feel good about himself. You are a moron and a despicable person.

Billions of tax payer dollars down the drain? Au contraire:

Most Ukraine aid bills fund America's local industries.

The vast majority of U.S. Ukraine-related funding does not go directly to Ukraine; it stays in the U.S. economy, subsidizing the production of weapons in at least 31 states and 71 cities.

While Ukraine gets most of the aid in the form of old American weapons pulled from U.S. reserves, it's American workers at American companies that make new weapons to replenish them.

America's military-industrial complex also restocks inventories of its NATO allies who similarly help Ukraine.

Not only does this revitalize the communities around large manufacturing plants in mostly Republican states, but it has created so many high-level jobs that some places are struggling to find enough qualified workers.

"We have right now more people working in the history of our state than we have at any point," Mike Preston, Arkansas's secretary of commerce told Politico back in September 2022. "And there are 70,000 open jobs in our state," he added.

Oh really? How much of our assets have been sent over? $2? You make shht up, Zed. All of the time. What I said is factual. Deal with it.

A lot of what you post about Ukraine is not factual at all. Here is some info I posted for you in another thread, which you never returned to, where you posted misinfo about Ukraine:

"It's a stance I happen toagree with and I've felt that way since after the first year of this conflict. Ukraine is not a NATO ally and while Europe offers loans for Ukraine (and in way smaller numbers than what we've provided) we have been giving grants to the tune of nearly $200 billion with no end in sight if we stay the course."

The numbers cited by Trump about the contributions of the US vs Europe are wrong. Charts at link:

The Real Ukraine Numbers

The Trump administration is closing in on a deal for the United States to receive a financial interest in Ukraine's critical minerals industry. The first question, of course, is why we are asking an ally that was attacked to pay a kind of reparations. But apart from that, the president has characteristically exaggerated and misrepresented the facts.

As he often does, the president has been wildly misrepresenting the facts around Ukrainian war aid. He claims that the United States has provided around $350 billion in aid; the actual figure is $120 billion. He has said that Europe has provided about $100 billion; the correct figure is $138 billion. (It is true that some portion of the European aid is in the form of loans.)

As a share of gross domestic product, the U.S. is roughly in the middle of the pack, well below small countries like Estonia and Denmark that are geographically close to Ukraine but roughly in line with larger countries like France and the U.K.

Against that backdrop, it is not clear why Trump believes that the U.S. is entitled to his requested $500 billion of compensation from Ukraine's critical minerals industry, large resources of titanium, lithium, uranium and others. Regardless, the Ukrainians appear likely to agree to something as soon as Friday, when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits Washington.

It's also important to note that the European Union and its members have promised an additional $121 billion in assistance while the U.S. has only pledged an additional $5 billion.

BR, you can keep on expressing your opinion. That's cool. And you can keep on pretending the facts you are basing that opinion on are true, also your right but not so cool.
