^ 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.  ^
