Please contact Speaker Mike Johnson's office and ask him to pass support package for Ukraine.

As the war grinds on, Ukraine needs more troops. Not everyone is ready to enlist​


It would probably help a lot if the "recruits" knew they had the support of the free world covering their backside, especially the US. Do you disagree with that, and if so, why?

The US has historicaly supported those who look to throw would be despots to the trash bin of history over the last century. In fact, that seems to be what we have stood for during that same time span.

If one studied the USA's isolationism of the 1930's, they would conclude that the US's inaction was one of the contributing factors to the disaster that became known as WWII.

Do we want to repeat one of our history's sorriest chapters, especially for a Russian adversary that repeatedly tries to undermine our nation?

Give it some serious thought, and soon. Memorial Day is only 3 months away.
 
Another pro-Russia Republican. What the hell happened to this party. No way did I ever think Republicans would be on the same side as Russia. Ever.
They/We are not on anyone but Ukraine's side in this.

I noticed several years ago that the Libertarians were calling for us to exit Afghanistan and Iraq. It seemed puzzling, as they seemed to want expanded individual rights for Americans but were not for insuring such rights for downtrodden peoples around the World. (Who, afterall wouldn't want little girls to be able to read?)

Libertarianism has traditionally been tucked into the folds of or under the umbrella of Republicanism ... I am certainly supportive of most Libertarian thought but this version does not fit Republican ideals.

Mark Levin calls them "Isolationist Libertarians." They seem to think that Libertarianism means every person everywhere faces an "Every Man for Himself" World. ... even in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iran, and Israel. It never occurred to me that any significant portion of our party supported such a position.

I guess "Republican Isolationist" loosely translates into 'Pro-Russian Republican." ... as long as it is given to reference Putin's version of Russia. I simply do not understand how this is possible.

Their average soldier age is 40+
The keyword here is AVERAGE. That means somewhere in Ukraine there is 60+ year old men with their boots on the ground. When Ukraine's average soldier age is 74 do we keep sending money?

I'd be for them getting aid if there was a definite articulate end-goal or endgame announced by Biden or the Administration.

I prefer $ to stay here but for instance if they said Ukraine needs this $ to keep them afloat for a couple months while we enter negotiations then I'd send it in a heartbeat.

They just keep saying they need $ to beat Putin. Without other countries physically putting soldiers in Ukraine or missiles launched at the Kremlin it is just not going to happen. Whatever sort of deal was entertained at the beginning needs revisited.

I would consider doing so but for the fact that my rule is that I only contact the people who have been elected to represent me. (Same for campaign contributions)

Fair, but we should also articulate a goal or end game for NOT sending aid. If/when Ukraine falls under Russian occupation, then what? What happens when the next former Soviet state falls under Russian occupation?

Thank for being rational.

They want more $$$ there has to be some talks of peace and negations

I guess people can people sacrificing their lives until grandparents are fighting and dying...
 
Honest question.

Almost 500,000 dead since the start.
The average age of a Ukrainian soldier if 43.

What's the end goal?
How much should "we" sacrifice in this war?

The goal is to defeat Putin.

$500 billion+ seems fair.

The American military budget is $790 billion PER YEAR.

Not sure but that's why I think you need to revisit negotiations hopefully sooner than later.

IMO
$+ A smaller Ukraine+ Peace Treaty= Good

$+Prolonging the war+ All of Ukraine gets wiped off of the world map= Bad

Huh?

Letting Putin roll over Ukraine could cost more. And if he attacks Poland, Romania or another NATO country, America would have to get involved.

It could end in nuclear war.
Lots of speculation there. Ever hear the phrase "throwing good money after bad"? How long should we keep sending money that we have to borrow and pay interest on? When do we get some accountability? What's the plan?
 
It’s called voting. We don’t have to deal with this garbage when we have a strong president. But now we get to keep sending money to Ukraine, who just happens to pay hunter millions. But carry on dems
So you got nothing, just Q shit, huh? I was hoping I didn’t have to pay for Kimmy’s private schools here in Iowa.
