America has pumped nearly $25 billion into Ukraine's economy since the Russian invasion began. 60 Minutes went to Ukraine to learn how the money is being spent.
First of all, we’re not getting jack shit: capitalists in the military-industrial complex are. And second of all, that’s not how US federal taxes work.
Edit: And third of all, Ukraine isn’t getting any of this for free but as lend-leases which their people will be paying off for generations while living under neoliberal austerity measures.
I wish you wouldn’t paint this out as though Ukrainians aren’t suffering an identical amount of casualties, or that investors in the MIC aren’t going to support funneling as much money to it as possible.
I wish you wouldn’t paint this as someone having their home invaded, their family raped and or murdered, and them wanting to fight back to hurt the invader and get their home back.
But I’m sure if russia invaded your town you’d just make them tea.

We’re getting dead invader trash.
That’s a bargain, and we’re buying more.: )
I thought you guys had nothing to do with the war and were just passive observers there for humanitarian reasons?
Nope, and russia is welcome to make something out of it if they want.
Mind you, I think their army is busy right now, but we can wait.
If you lot actually wanted to kill invaders, you’d wipe out your own government before worrying about other countries.
You know, it’s funny, russia actually put bounties on dead American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Figure they need a chance to see how it’s really done :)
Ok Adolf
🥱

Dude, just say your words instead of trying to copy mine.
You look like a fool when you do stuff like that.
