You think that's enough? Or do we still need to give them more money?

(Let's take note that the citizens are still poor, and Ukraine is still losing, reportedly still being outgunned as well)

Uhh, wat? Ukraine is currently regaining territory from Russia, how are they losing?

Fucking tankies.

How much money do you want to bet? You seem confident and it seems like you read your news about the topic.

Idk where you got this from, but Ukraine won in Kyiv, Kherson and Kharkiv. Currently the front moves very slowly towards Russia. No, the offensive isn‘t a huge success and I would even consider it a failure, but the fact that Ukraine can even start an offensive is proving that the weapon deliveries are working.

But you still have to pay back your student loans and pay a small fortune for healthcare because fuck you.

Two have basically nothing to do with each other.

We are still the richest nation in the world. 2.3 billion sounds like a lot, but its nothing to the us gov, it's nothing to the defense budget alone, and it is actively wrecking the military capabilities of one of our top geopolitical rivals.

I'm not going to pretend to understand the intricacies of the Russia/Ukraine situation, but I know this is peanuts compared to what it could cost us, and we don't even have boots on the ground. This is the deal of a century.

Be mad at the corrupt piece of shit republicans forcing you to go into crippling debt for healthcare and education, not the innocent Ukrainians fighting for their lives and democracy.

The good thing about a 2-party system is that you can always point to the other party as to why things are the way they are. :)

American pays mores per capita for healthcare than most countries with a single payer system.

You'd actually save money if you changed.

I get your point, but I’m not sure if that’s true. Americans in general are very unhealthy. I think that might explain why it’s more expensive at least somewhat.
