    if that’s all it was then why do we need to keep sending millions upon millions of dollars to Ukraine?

      We are not sending millions and millions to Ukraine.

      In fact that money doesn’t leave the country.

          Here you go. A map of all the production facilities in the US manufacturing weapon systems for Ukraine with the money congress appropriated. A good chunk are high paying union jobs as well.

          One has to ask, why do the Republicans want an end to all this when it’s literally a massive money earner?

          Because they need it to fail to make the economy take a nosedive to get people to vote republican. It’s another “break everything to prove government doesn’t work.”

          I’m willing to bet even if Joe Biden were to agree to their demands on the southern border, they would simply pick up and move the goal posts again because they want the economy to fail.
