    Default $40billion in aid to ukraine

    Discuss?

    My opinion is that we need to sweep around our own backdoor. I know there are long term implications with the ukraine war, but I dont give a rip at this moment.

    Kinda makes me wish we were at war so other countries could just send us money. (that is satire but some truth in it)
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    I saw on twitter (maybe daily wire, not sure) that Our gov has sent more money to Ukraine in the last 6 months than they have spent on roads and bridges in the US over the past year.

    Remember that next time you rattle a cavity filling out when hitting a pothole.

    Not a lot to discuss. It's a horrible idea. But until somebody yells "shield wall" there really isn't anything that can be done about it.

    If Ukraine can humiliate and pound Putin all the way back to Moscow, it will have been worth our investment. I'd rather throw money in to let Ukraine kick their ass than send our young men and women over in a few years. Putin is going to keep pushing and working against our country until someone stomps his ass. It'll be better done now than after they team up with China.

    I'm guessing Ukraine sees very little of that.

    It will get plundered. Should have used some of it to secure our southern border.

    If some day aliens visit our planet, our government will establish a program to give them money. Seems like its the only idea they can ever come up with.

    Pretty much agree with exactly what you said 2th. What a mess.

    I knew that was coming.

    It's Arkansas. Even when you were there last, it was an hour behind us - so I was effectively having a nice dinner at 6:21 MY TIME (which is all that matters).
    That's Good BOTTLE (beer/Coors Banquet, if you must know). They also have Better BTL, but I wanted the Coors, even though this was company $$.
    That fed ME. And only me. Yes, I ate alone. Prefer it that way, most days.

    Next.....

    I tip well. I’ll tip 15% for shitty service just because the person is at least there working. I tip a more for expected service, and I’ll make someone’s week or month for exceptional service. That said, I’d have asked to have that dollar removed, and if they didn’t do it, I’d have apologized to the wait staff for the 0$ tip and told them that they needed to talk some sense into their boss or whoever made that decision.
    “I can’t wait ‘till I’m grown” is the stupidest @!#* I ever said!

    I won't be shocked if we're on the wrong side of this Ukraine Russia crap.

    Just remember. Abe Lincoln is the "best" president in history.

    I don't know about 'wrong' side, but I think the 'right' side is not being involved in any of it.

    So we're providing money, weapons and intel to Ukraine, where does putin draw the line and say "America is supporting and involved in this, this means war!"? I mean, if I give you money, a gun and tell you when someone will be home to kill them, am I not involved? We will be in it before you know it. I bet lunch we have SF on the ground there now
