Headlines often say that Americans don’t support U.S. aid to Ukraine, but real Americans say otherwise. They have consistently affirmed that Washington should aid Kyiv in resisting Russian aggression. Congress last year acted on that wish: Republican majorities on both armed services committees authorized $400 million for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative for each of the next two years. Appropriators fully funded that authorization for fiscal 2026 with overwhelming support.
Yet the Ukraine aid we passed months ago is now collecting dust at the Pentagon. When Senate appropriators have sought an explanation from the department’s policy shop, led by Undersecretary Elbridge Colby, they’ve been stonewalled. Our colleagues on armed services have also expressed growing frustration with the Defense Department’s inability to communicate.
Because Trump is Putin’s bitch.
Even the $400 million being held up is nothing compared to the $188 billion allocated to supporting Ukraine from 2022 to 2024 (of which $127 billion went towards arming and supporting Ukraine directly).
Everything allocated to the war with Iran (about $25 billion so far per the Pentagon) should have been allocated to Ukraine instead.
This, 400 million is very little in the context of an all-out war against the main US military adversary since the Second World War.
True. But it still looks symbolically bad.
Because the pedophile in chief was previously impeached for doing that exact thing as extortion for manufacturing a scandal against his opponent…and he just got a phone call from Putin giving him his marching orders lest the kompromot comes out
I wonder if there is some type of secret agreement between Trump and Putin. Perhaps in exchange for Trump intervening less in Ukraine, Putin will not intervene much with US actions elsewhere.
The agreement is Trump saying “Yes, master.”
Because Trump is Putlers lapdog obviously
Good. Don’t send them another dime or piece of equipment. Fuck em. They’re embezzling the money anyway. They’ve received all the best equipment and ammunition and they’ve made zero progress. They don’t want the war to end, they want to keep being given handouts.
They’ve received all the best equipment and ammunition and they’ve made zero progress.
So Ukraine fighting the “second army of the world” to a standstill, instead of winning, can only be explained by extreme corruption?
And Ukraine did not receive the best equipment in the world. The US (and Europe) has refused to give Ukraine tons of the most potent weapons, like Tomahawk missiles.
Oh look, a russian
Or maybe just a fool.
Please share your drugs, you clearly have more than enough.
How is the weather down in the warm-water port of Corpus Christi, in Texas oblast?
It’s more the fact that this is just a NATO/Western war on Russia like the war on is a war in China. Ukraine is just the new Taiwan: a puppet state, a barrier and a military base. America doesn’t just hand money out for no reason, lol, it’s never done anything for the sake of righteousness in its entire existence. 👍
a puppet state, a barrier and a military base
Russia has the longest border in the world. Is any state that touches that border required to be a neutral buffer state in order for Russia to feel secure? Sounds like a crock of shit to me.

Nor has Russia. Nation-states are not morally righteous entities. They serve what they perceive to be their own interests. There have been exceptions, but they’re notable due to their scarcity.
It’s insane you idiots can pretend that the invading country (Russia) is somehow the victim.
“Western imperialism bad. Russian or Chinese imperialism good.”
