^ This may seem like a lot of
Aid, but you have to remember it is 8 years worth. It started when Russian
Invaded, Occupied and Illegally Annexed Crimea in February 2014, expanded when
Russia sent troops to eastern Ukraine in 2014 and expanded even more when
Russia attacked the rest of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Had we given more Aid to Ukraine
back in 2014 Ukraine, the US, Europe, NATO and the World wouldn’t be in the
situation we currently are since Ukraine could have been better trained and
fortified.
The World needs to do a lot more
to help Ukraine. Sadly some countries: France, etc. are weak and just want
Ukraine to surrender and some countries: Hungary, etc. are pro-Russia and want Putin
and his Nazi Zs to win so they are hampering united EU and NATO efforts to help
Ukraine and end Russia’s Genocide there.
For those complaining about high
gas prices, high food prices, food shortages and shortages of many other things
and saying we need focus only on our own country and not help Ukraine I say: we
can and should do both.
We can fix our own Domestic
Problems (Baby Formula Shortages, High Gas Prices, High Prices on Food, the
Deep Political Divide, High Crime Rate, Homelessness, Equal Disability Rights, Safer
Schools, Illegal Immigration, etc.) if only our Politicians – at the Local, State
and Federal Levels - wanted to. Ukraine
has nothing to do with our own inability to get those things done.
We have the means and the money
to both help Ukraine and other Allies as well as to make our own country
stronger. The reason we aren’t is due to the Deep Political Divide (the
in-fighting between the Republicans, the in-fighting between the Democrats and
the fighting between the Republicans and the Democrats.) If the Politicians and
others but their own agendas aside for the betterment of the US we could get
everything done. Sadly, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
People who try to shift focus away
by saying we should not help Ukraine are only working for their own agendas (the
Pro-Russia, Pro-Putin and Pro-Nazi Zs.) They are just as guilty of the Rape,
Torture, Murder and other War Crimes being committed by the Russians in Ukraine
as the Russians themselves are (the same way those that supported Nazi Germany
are just as guilty of the Holocaust and all the other War Crimes committed
during World War 2.)
Also, a Ukrainian Victory will
mean they can start to export all the things they used to before the War (which
was a lot) and so shortages will go away and prices will go down. ^
