Wow Putin must be really feeling the pressure if he's walking all his sleeper agents
You could hardly call these far right anti-ukrainers in the GOP sleeper agents, they’ve been out and out Russian/Fascism cheerleaders for years.
Complaining about the US “wasting” money in Ukraine, as if we don’t have a huge vested interest in the outcome. If you told the GOP of the 60s-90’s what the GOP of today’s stance is on Russia, they literally would not believe you.
Every single dollar spent dismantling Russia is just about the best value you can get for a dollar. We should be committing 10x again what we are.
In fairness, you can also tell a modern Republican what the GOP's stance is on just about anything and they will not believe you.
We spent many times more on an absolutely pointless war for the past 23ish years. Why is giving a bone to Ukraine to deplete the entire russian arsenal such a huge fucking ask?
We tried the wait and see approach with European countries invading their neighbors twice in the last century and both times it ended up being 1000x more costly and got lots of our people killed.
I don't want to be financing Ukraine anymore than the GOP does, but it's still better than dealing with a much bigger problem later.
The US is still playing the same game of wait and see. During WW2 it's not like the US didn't supply the allies with weapons (lend lease act) for years before sending in troops.
Hopefully Ukraine will be able to neuter Russia before the US or the EU have to get involved with actual boots on the ground.
