  1. This is insanity. The government should only spend money on US needs such as in Florida or at the US border. These politicians must be making big bucks off of prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, which helps no one. Ukraine’s military is full of nazis – real ones, not like the ones Democrats look for under their beds each night.

    Not a single US politician has broached the subject of peace negotiations. Instead, they keep promoting war and destruction that only hurts the Ukrainian people and risks nuclear war. If everyone called their senators and representatives and told them to stop this, before we face nuclear armageddon, then they would have to listen. Make their phone lines burn up with objections to US funding a war that serves no US interests.

    Everyone knows that the US was responsible for blowing up those pipelines, and the MSM is complicit in reporting things are are false. Putin said he would use all means to defend Russia if attacked. He did not say he would use nukes in Ukraine. It is the warmongers in the US deep state and in Poland that are pursuing an insane policy that could lead to catastrophe.

    No more money or weapons or “volunteers” (US taxpayer funded mercenaries) for Ukraine!
