Takes longer than a month to drill.

Putin just knows Trump isn't the usual empty suit run by the deep state, he can manipulate the empty suits, he can't manipulate Trump in the way he has for 20+ years of former Presidents.
Jared Kushner manages portions of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. I don't know why they like the Trump family, but they clearly do.
As for Russia, Trump is the main reason that aid to Ukraine is stalled. Trump is publicly telling members of Congress to stall it. Of course Russia prefers that.

No, that's not true. Public opinion polls show most Americans support funding for Ukraine.

Funny cause I've not met a single person who agrees.
I wonder who made those "polls"

What a coincidence the exact people that want forever wars, feeding their stocks in our military industrial complex.

You guys and your warmongering talk as if the U.S., its global interests and the constant vigilance required to defend basic freedom around the world somehow operate in a vacuum. Ukraine and Israel lie within those interests. This quaint idea that we can become isolated from the world went out the window in 1941. As long as there is communism, oligarchs, tempestuous sheikdoms and straight up tyrants, we will always be involved. Always.

Yawn.
Ukraine is just as corrupt and terrible as Russia.
The US has zero business in former soviet states, which we agreed to with Russia at the fall of the Soviet Union. We cannot renege just because we illegally orchestrated a coup in 2014.

There are a hundred problems with it, the most profound being the most fundamental. I've advocated for the continued funding of warfare in which to kill other inhabitants of spaceship Earth.
Yes, we can tick off multitudes of problematic political standpoints here, but ultimately, they are of little consequence compared to the fact there are countries led by cabals who desire to subjugate and control others. At the close of WWII, we created and assumed the role as the superpower of freedom. A mantle we embrace and cannot concede, or the world falls into chaos. One only has to look at the weak foreign and domestic policies of the current administration to see the effects of that not only on the global stage, but on our very own doorstep.
I understand the frustration of giving foreign aid money when our own domestic situation begs for need - they are two sides of the same coin. We are obligated in our role, even if sometimes it seems that obligation is out of balance.

No. I'm talking about strictly geopolitically. The US played a role in "influencing" their elections to a pro-US government. Previously, Ukraine had essentially been a puppet of Russia. Think of all those resources and access Putin loses in addition to the US being able to build defenses right on its boarder. Additionally, the pro-US government starts a civil war against pro-Russian territories. The US, imo, was the aggressor in this situation in virtually every way.
