At the White House, Team Vlad, led by Comrade Krasnov, is doing everything possible to score a big win for Russia.

🍊gy wouldn’t recognize a good deal if it hit him in the groin. want to end the 🇺🇦/🇷🇺 war realitivly quickly? let Putin know the U.S. will have Ukrainians’ back for as long as it takes…100%.

We should be doing MORE for Ukraine. When Putin loses his murderous regime is over. That will make it worth it. After all we spent $6 TRILLION, yes TRILLION, on USELESS wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Good investment if you ask me!! Kind of amazes me with all of the “treat government like a business” folks on the Right that they don’t understand the value of a good investment!

But maga is aligned with russia, so they'd rather invert those numbers.

and all the money we spent defending ourselves from russia now goes to waste.

Someone needs to explain that to the Great Pumpkin, er, “Dealmaker”.

Musk’s cowardice renders him unable to calculate.

YES

NonUS troops on the ground. The Ukraians are doing the battling.

Ummm, we didn’t “spend” all that money on Ukraine. It was mostly In Kind donations of existing military hardware. Don’t give dumb MAGAs any bad facts.

But Adam, that money could’ve gone to deporting brown people I’ll never see or helping hurricane victims I never gave a shit about until Fox News told me to.

I don't usually comment on this sort of thing, but the visible power flex of taking what is in a very real sense, the toys in our attic that we don't use anymore and giving them to Ukraine, and having that be a crippling stop to their forces, just underlines us military prowess. Steal at twice.

Don't destroy their narrative with facts. They don't respond well.

Your answer is in your statement. We stand to funnel way more taxpayer money to the military industrial complex going to war with Russia than we would preventing one.

Unless you're beholden to a Russian leader for some loan forgiveness...

Thank you, Mr. Kinzinger: In the years ahead, history and future generations will recognize you as a dedicated patriot.

Out of $187bn 70% you spent on your own domestic weapon production.

Plus our stockpile of weapons is getting cycled , out new stuff coming in.

Facts! 👇

I’d say ✅

And considering much of that aid went back to US Defense contractors to resupply the old munitions and weapons we sent to Ukraine, it’s an even better deal.

think of all the money for healthcare and education we could have if we cut those cost by half

Thank you for stating this. I’ve been thinking pretty much the same thing but don’t have your platform. Support for Ukraine clearly is one of the best investments USA could make from NatSec & Defense standpoints.

you forgot the part where Russia put a president in office to destroy the US from within. so there's that.

Only people who are backing Russia would spurn this deal 🤨

Now Russia has FOTUS and can beat us without firing a single shot. Thanks MAGA.

In the same situation as you. I see it as an investment in our collective security.

Supporting Ukraine seemed to be mostly working and helping protect US interests until we got a Russian asset installed in the executive branch to go with those already in the legislative branch.

R.O.I.

And most of that was with equipment that was outdated and was due to be replaced.

Every one’s enemy but Trump’s

And lots of that ammo was expiring and all of the revenue went to US companies.

Yea, but their sales guy didn’t wear a suit to the meeting so…

Not anymore. Not when the ultra-dictator bribes the ultra-criminal.

With surplus stuff no less! Winning!

Ukraine DESTROYED/DISMANTLED Russia's ground forces w/o a single drop of US blood being spilled. Sounds like a terrific investment to me!

Smartest money we’ve ever spent in the Pentagon since WWII.

Yeah… but those guys in charge mean by Bigger Picture a large TV for watching porn…

Liberation Day will be the day when #Trump leaves office... #FollowMe

You just have TDS. You never give the guy a break.

Agreed, They are fighting our war on their soil with their blood at a ridiculously low cost to us. It's a shame we didn't let them pursue a winning strategy. bsky.app/profile/phil...

Didn't you hear? We are BFF's now.

We’ve a mango Neanderthal in the Oval. What can you do with a stupid felon who bankrupts casinos and the greatest economy in the world?

don’t tell trump

Don't worry: under the new administration, we'll spend 2.3T to defeat Ukraine.

Why has nobody asked “what is the suddenly urgent threat that emerged that requires us owning and military force being used to take over Greenland?” It’s not near the Middle East. It’s not near South America. Not near China. Who is the sudden threat? Because only Russia has the ability from there.”

Now we are going to annex Canada and Greenland, and, apparently, gift ourselves to putin free of charge.

Hehe, maybe defeating Russia as a threat completely would be very bad business for the US MIC. Europe would never spend billions on US weapons then.

People dont get math. Or science. Or history. Maybe our education system has really failed us.

Can’t wait to DOGE the fuck out of our defense budget now that Russia is weak, we’re going to abandon Taiwan, and Europe is taking over defense of Greenland.

Oh Adam, those rock rib, real Americans that you were shoulder to shoulder with in the Congress for years I’m glad to know that they’re doing the right thing, they always put country first Your party was always a lie , it takes a lot for you to realize it I’m still convinced you don’t

Stop it with your *actual* efficiency logic! /s

This is why every nation on this planet who believes in Democracy should be supporting Ukraine, they are sacrificing so much so we can continue to live in freedom. Whether you support the war or not, support the people, they are dying so we can live in peace. That is dedication undeniable.

Now trump wants to give it all to Putin. Damn traitor.

Totally agree.

A few weeks ago I ran into a MAGA whose husband is in the military. She was talking about how great the cuts have been. I said, “Yeah, by withdrawing from Ukraine and our European allies, we should me able to cut way back on military spending!” She didn’t like that logic.

Depends on who one thinks is the "enemy". And clearly, Vlad has rather easily convinced Donnie that the enemy is everyone in the world EXCEPT Russia.

Russia has our historical enemy, but Putin is trump’s best friend.

What is also really interesting to me is all the funding that goes unaccounted for at the Pentagon. I would like to know more about what looks like fraud and abuse over there, please.

Can you describe this differently? It still makes it sound like we sent pallets of cash. This was billions of dollars in owned weapons and munitions from our stockpile we sent to Ukraine & the new money is being spent IN THE USA (aka American jobs) to make NEW gear for AMERICAN FORCES.

You assume the current administration sees Russia as a foe not an ally.

It WAS, until the Shart Up the Deal dude got involved.

Exactly!

THE MONEY IS SPENT DOMESTICALLY! We aren't handing Ukraine billions in cash. We are employing our defense contractors and we are renewing our armaments. But MAGA sees it as a handout to Ukraine rather than the military industrial complex...

This doesn't even consider that supporting Ukraine financially also has a positive impact on the US Economy and Military.

You’re off the case, Kinzinger!! Turn in your security clearance!!! 🤣

May God have mercy on the souls who have bled due to our instransigence.

You're right, no US losses, but we aren't fighting Russia directly. This is about saving Ukrainian lives and aiding an ally. Overall, I absolutely agree.

Yes, this fact upsets traitors (Russian "useful idiots").

AND to tell china they’ll get a bloody nose if they try and take Taiwan. It’s a geopolitical no-brainer, which explains why this admin is changing course.

One might even say “efficient”

Only 30-50 billion actually went to Ukraine. Most of the money stayed in the US or was approved but not actually sent.

Some would call that efficient

Has anyone explained to Trump that his “Liberation Day” is an incoherent as Kanye West?

Some might even call it “the deal of the century.”

The best

Maga will go down whatever hole Trump sends them. Cost today dei tomorrow and so on. It's the watch this hand while I rob you with the other trick. 🤣😂

While the EU clearly sees that RUSSIA is the true enemy, a kleptocratic, genocidal, mafia state, meanwhile the pathetic, naïve, and Putin-appeasing Trump administration goes in the opposite direction. We have never had this anti-western and incompetent a national security team in the US. Ever.

Donald is a Russian asset

A real business man would recognize that kind of value.

Taking out 800,000 Russian soldiers that can't be used to invade another country - bargain.

📌

It makes total sense and thus the republicans are against it.

Thanks for info

Adam, just a quick question to you as a former republican congressman. Your posts are extremely informative, educational and truthful. Why can’t other current Republican representatives do the same?

Remove lobbyists and as much of the corrupting money that currently effects our political system. And on and on and on...

I disagree, Adam. Instead of overspending by hundreds of billions of dollars on our military EACH AND EVERY YEAR, we could instead: Start paying down our debt Work on protecting Americans from the predatory stances large investment firms have taken in areas such as our residential real estate

Instead of a loan to Ukraine, we should charge Russia for our contributions.

Okay.

Cheapest war we ever won. And against another superpower. Now all we have to do is keep it up.

I'm a lefty EU fanboy, i.e., by US standards, a communist spawn of satan, so I don't agree with you, Mr Kinzinger, on pretty much anything. But thank you for all that you do and being true to your principles. Cheers from Romania.

Plus it was the right thing to do. Russia invaded Ukraine. That’s not ok. Period. #Ukraine 🇺🇦

And that 187 is inflated by the inflated prices we put on old equipment.

100% 👍

Right you are

You president and his cabinet are on Russia's side.

Yes, we've got to keep Russia in Russia only

But how much are we wasting on our blank check to Israel

I thought you were going to say golf for a second.

Yep. Part of the problem is most Americans get their “info” from pro ruzzia sources

What is your objection to joining the Democratic Party? Your non-fascist followers that are members of the Democratic Party would like to know. It's past time for you to take off your GOP clown nose. Do it already!!

Russia spent a very low budget to buy a broken US billionaire in the '80s as and asset and now they have it in the position to destroy Usa from within... Bolder tactic

Who is defining “enemy”?

True but think of it from Ukraine's perspective. They are fighting for their lives. We need to be careful to honor that.

And you are still a republican so plz fuck off🌬️

Even better when you consider that the money was largely spent on modernizing OUR inventories and transferring old materiel to the Ukrainians.

Well, the one we really need to lose is the menace in the White House and his cosplaying, pasty minion.

The Meg is is so stupid. They don’t realize how important it is that we give the Ukrainians the ability to fight those murderers killing Russians during World War II. We gave Russia many many many many types of weapon weapons. Why did Roosevelt do that? He

But Putin is our FRIEND!! Russia is our new ally!! The fucking repubtards think we spent too much already helping Ukraine! I mean, the Russians aren't attacking us!! That's what I kept hearing in redneckville. The other was.."We don't know what Ukraine did to deserve this attack." Thanks Fox 🖕

This. This. This!! Republicans would rather get into bed with our enemies.

The Trump regime does not see Russia as an enemy! It is NATO who are the main foe of Trump. I honestly believe Trump will have a non aggression pact with Putin very shortly!

Since Johnson gave members of the House the week off, how will they reimburse the American taxpayers for 1 week of missed work, at a cost of $13 million per day, a total of $91 million for the week?

Meanwhile, Putin defeated America without firing a shot. At us, that is.

And if you were to actually value all the “headed for expensive decom very shortly” kit that got sent, and booked the savings from not having to pay for that decom, it seems to me you’d be looking at an exceptionally good deal.

Except that Russia is no longer America’s enemy, it’s now its friend. America - Russia - North Korea, the new Axis of Evil………

Didn't Felon47 say that it was $350B or something like that? Never shows any real proof of anything. Like this waste, fraud and abuse which doesn't exist and they found $8B in fraud when it was only $8M and it was a contract. The problem is people believe 10 sec. Fox soundbites.

A GREAT deal!

This text, I await of Trump.

Excellent deal, and one I have pointed out since US support for Ukraine started. Unfortunately, MAGA only cares about optics (and owning libs), and not facts.

Best return of investment possible for our country. Idiots don't get it.

And they got rid of their nukes because we agreed to protect them
