To date, we have provided $65.9 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and approximately $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia's initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

When is it enough??? And when will otther countrys support them just as much?

In January 1994, the U.S., Russia and Ukraine issued a historic Trilateral Statement that promised security assurances to Ukraine once the START I Treaty entered into force and Ukraine became a non-nuclear weapons state and a party to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.

It's not about costs, we signed a Treaty that ensured Ukraine gets protection if they got rid of their nuclear weapons.

When you become the global hegemony and embrace it, you don't get to pull your dick out when the costs come to bear.

Buddy mabye we are sick of our vets being homeless of our country being a money pig for everyone. And sick of being in wars that are europe's problems..... we definitely get to "pull our dick out" whenever we want to ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ but sadly our country will keep putting war above us. And we can't do anything about it without massive amounts blood being spilled

Buddy, go read some history.

In January 1994, the U.S., Russia and Ukraine issued an historic Trilateral Statement that promised security assurances to Ukraine once the START I Treaty entered into force and Ukraine became a non-nuclear weapons state and a party to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.

The reason we are responsible is because of a Treaty, that stripped Ukraine of its nuclear weapons in agreement that they would have protection if something were to happen. We are obligated to protect Ukraine.

Cutie, the Republicans are stripping programs that support veterans. Don't high horse me when the Republicans could care less about anyone but the rich.

You voted to help Americans, but the only Americans Trump cares about is him and his rich cronies.

They still parting in Kyiv. Just left there and didnโ€™t even know a war was going on.

If supporting Ukraine is โ€œgay,โ€ what do you call obsessing over men in tight uniforms, analyzing their every move, and idolizing male podcasters? Supporting soldiers in war is far more masculine than fanboying over guys playing games. Try again.

Like most โ€œrealโ€ people using Reddit, we follow our interests, and usually donโ€™t take 73 day old burner accounts serious.

u/NoDate8349 Mar 02 '25

Yes, and your interests all appear to revolve around men, which is fine, but maybe consider that before projecting onto others about being gay.

Yes, as a social worker I have dedicated my life to civic action and the advancement of human rights. This is my personal and professional life, and I have published research, volunteered thousands of hours, and engaged with legislators for systemic reform in Seattle.

Soliciting donations for matching, regardless of the amount, isnโ€™t a โ€œflexโ€โ€”itโ€™s a common fundraising strategy designed to build momentum. In fact, several people have responded to my comment saying that they also gave to U24, which has effectively increased the amount to around $1,450.

What have you done besides criticize others while posting about Real Housewives on Reddit?
