      the specific political mechanism in question only relates to sales of arms, not donations.

      This is not a comment on whether that’s good or not, simply that they are different political processes.

        If they actually wanted to keep dumping resources into Ukraine they’d find a political mechanism that would let them do that too.

            Yeah the process of Ukraine collapsing and US moving on to a new war without skipping a beat. Absolutely amazing how US keeps doing this, and there are still people out there who can’t see the pattern.

              again, it’s not a comment on whether it’s good or bad, but objectively there is a mechanism for sending aid to Ukraine.

              I personally think we could invest factors more money and eqpt to them, but I also recognize even though I think we should do something, the reality is it has to go through the political machine.

                There is also a standard mechanism for sending arms to Israel that’s being bypassed. What Biden is doing is using a loophole so he can keep the genocide going. That’s what’s happening. I guess Joe must get off on seeing kids blown up, and he just wasn’t getting that in Ukraine.

      Because they realize that project Ukraine has run its course and they’re now discarding Ukraine like a used condom. Amazing how people still haven’t figured that out yet.
