Ukraine needs immediate aide. This focus on sending aide to Israel is frankly infuriating. Ukraine is fighting for its existence. Israel is committing genocide (not the Jewish people, but the Israeli government under the leadership of Netanyahu). Can we please at least see the difference in terms of where resources should be allocated? This should not be political, but practical.
It's important to distinguish aid from sale.
Biden didn't approve aid to Israel, he only allowed them to purchase weapons with cash.
If Ukraine showed up tomorrow with a billion dollar check, they too could buy whatever they wanted immediately.
That said, it is treasonous that Republicans blocked aid to Ukraine. Ukrainians are dying protecting America from Russian aggression.
You're really not getting it, are you? With the assault in Ukraine, the US MIL got the opportunity to clear out some old stock and potentially divert world war 3 into a stalemate. It was great for a bit. The gaza conflict gives the US a greater opportunity to really play to its strengths and pursue a thread of great historic national interest... Bombing brown people.
There's potentially oil there that needs freedom, and nobody expects more freedom for oil than the US
/S ...I think? I'm having a bit of an Idiocracy moment right now.
You're not wrong. There's nothing more American than killing brown people. Nothing. Just ask the Native Americans.
... And Tulsa, OK, Iraq, Afghanistan, standing Rock SD, Vietnam, Korea.... Palestine...
It kind of just goes on, doesn't it?
