Talk me through it. Why should I care? I’m malleable, I’m not opposed to changing my mind.

Eisenhower warned us about that form of corporate welfare.
 
Maybe the best monologue of the entire show.

Just brutally honest take.

I've done my own variation with some of my friends.

We need to quit blowing smoke up people's asses and just tell the truth.

An empire is about to collapse. As it should if we let a tyrant run things, a pussy-ass Democratic party, and most of all an uneducated population.

WTF does renaming Gulf of Mexico or Denali do to help the country? What does giving out everyone's personal information to a billionaire do to help the country? What does sucking off Putin do for Americans?

Just get your passports ready.
 
Yep, utterly deplorable and unforgivable. Also betraying our allies and strengthening our enemies. These are the actions of a traitor to our nation.
Pretty sure that Ukraine has been betrayed since 2014, after they gave up their Russian nukes for defense promises, Obama let Putin take Crimea and Biden said nothing as Putin amassed an invasion ("won't do anything if it's a minor incursion"), and have let their people die for three years why we diddle on whether we give them this weapon or that weapon.
 
Except that corporate welfare is not the goal here.
Sure it is, and those two propaganda pieces linked above reinforce just that. And btw, changing the phrase Military Industrial Complex to Defense Industrial Base does absolutely nothing to change the fact that in the end, it's all just corporate welfare.

"...can help demonstrate how Russia’s war can establish a long-term incentive structure to revitalize the DIB."

"...these funds stay in the U.S., where leading defense contractors have invested tens of billions in over 100 new industrial manufacturing facilities, creating thousands of jobs across at least 38 states directly, with vital subcomponents sourced from all 50 states."

No. The goal is to help Ukraine defend itself.

I dislike how much we keep spending on our defense budget and how the number never seems to go down as much as anyone.
 
Certainly appears to be the case.
Why do you think that?

"I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do." ~ Joe Biden, January 20, 2022

Putin didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was in office, and Trump has never promised anything to Ukraine. Ukraine has always been corrupt, and Biden was part of that corruption as VP under Obama.
 
Let's see how actual negotiations proceed and go from there,... Talking is a good first step.
 
Trump did call the Ukraine president that same day
I'm talking about meetings. Shouldn't both countries have representatives at the future meetings? Shouldn't both countries have to give and take? Everything publicly stated by US authorities only mention things Ukraine has to give up, but nothing from the Russian side.
 

It's absurd to think defense spending helps the US economy. It's wasting manufacturing production on expendables. Some people will believe anything. Jeesh.

Absolutely,.. In fact, my position would be that any conversations held without their involvement should be viewed as totally non-binding.
I disagree. Ukraine is completely reliant on the US.

If you had a relative that was under water on a loan, and you agreed to pay off the loan, would you want to include them in the conversation, or would it be on your terms?

Different situation entirely,.. The US hasn't agreed to guarantee any type of outcome here.
 
No one knows what Trump agreed to.

All the smoke says he threw Ukraine under the bus. And little denial from the admin that that is the case.

And I believe that an important element of these negotiations involves Ukraine being at least familiar with what the underside of the bus might look like....
 
I think @The Tradition was making a good point. I have read that the continental Nato countries plan to bolster Ukraine if/when Trump pulls the plug on Ukraine aid. Did you see the hundred thousand Germans who came out to march against the far right German political party of old type nazism? People dont want that anymore. There are a lot of people in america who want their White Nation back but trump doing it the bad way

Trump is terrible, ready to give a democratic country over to the russians. Instability in Europe and the baltic plus Ukraine and the old iron curtain countries will cause a lot of economic pain also for America. It will create uncertainty and business hates that,

China might makes it move in the far east.
Xi is jealous of Putin… he wants to see that Orange mop of hair bobbing up and down in his lap, just like Putin.
