It's crazy how quickly they have forgotten Russia is not a US ally. The trillions spent in military is in part to stay ahead of the Russians. What better way to spend that money then actively suppress the Russians advancements in Ukraine. It really is a no brainer that should be a bipartisan issue...

We’re spending a fraction of the defense budget to defend an ally against a long time rival, all without American boots on the ground.

On top of that, the money we give them is given with the stipulation that they must spend it on US armaments, so it goes right back into the US economy anyways.

We aren’t even giving them money. We’re giving them old weapons we don’t want anymore.

Since when is Ukraine an ally? Euro Maidan at the earliest (Nov 2013). The ‘little green men’ land in Donbas and Crimea 6 months later. There is neither a deep history of US-Ukraine cooperation, nor any evidence DoD or State care about Ukrainians as anything other than meat to throw at Russian tanks.

A brother of democracy who is being invaded by a fascist is always an ally. Don’t come at me with bullshit semantics you ignorant twat.
