    Two have basically nothing to do with each other.

    We are still the richest nation in the world. 2.3 billion sounds like a lot, but its nothing to the us gov, it’s nothing to the defense budget alone, and it is actively wrecking the military capabilities of one of our top geopolitical rivals.

    I’m not going to pretend to understand the intricacies of the Russia/Ukraine situation, but I know this is peanuts compared to what it could cost us, and we don’t even have boots on the ground. This is the deal of a century.

    Be mad at the corrupt piece of shit republicans forcing you to go into crippling debt for healthcare and education, not the innocent Ukrainians fighting for their lives and democracy.

      The good thing about a 2-party system is that you can always point to the other party as to why things are the way they are. :)

      Why would I only be mad at the Republicans? Joe Biden and most of the Democrats don’t support single payer or free tertiary education either.
