US Congress vote on $60bn Ukraine aid package explained

Why are the American people being told that our tax dollars are going to fund Ukraines war with Russia when they have their national soccer team playing in Fifa events today? Ridiculous

Zelensky must be rich now. (Corruption).

Whaattt!?!
Does this woman still have her job after her attempt at an interview of Jordan peterson??

Whether Republicans or Democratic lawmakers is really irrelevant their representatives of a base of constituents who have a long memory like myself I grew up in the Fallout from the Vietnam War and live through the entirety as a participant eventually in the war on terror the war in Afghanistan and at this point I have seen successes and failures and this Mission I feel is doomed to failure because of compounding factors but strictly speaking Afghanistan fail South Vietnam fell and life went on the exaggeration from within the Democratic party my party in globalists and European Parliament is a remarkable 180 on one instance and maybe too little too late on the American instance Europeans drug their feet during the war on terror at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan to say that there were those people that did everything they could to make sure that those Wars and those missions and humanitarian diplomacy and optimism failed.

Now here we are a generation into all these foreign interventions and excursions and quite frankly the facts are as follows Ukraine is not a member of NATO Ukraine is not a part of the EU or the United States whatsoever it is not subject to the articles that buying NATO together or the conventions of the Constitution that governs the United States that doesn't mean that I don't think we shouldn't do anything but there's a limitation and I would certainly say having watched our lawmakers preferential on this it's at the expense of domestic agendas that is the real opposition to assisting Ukraine at a time when we can't afford it both financially and culturally however Ukraine is at the bottom of the barrel and I didn't like it when the president was literally saying well Ukraine won't accept those terms well if they're on our dollar they will accept our terms I think it is not that far-fetched to say that if the president doesn't come up with a long-term strategic goal and sticking to it voters are going to make him pay for it at the election Booth.

Because it certainly seems like he is trying to invest into another 20-30 year long War as it is Ukraine doesn't have the Manpower it's been utilized and the only way to recover eastern Ukraine is if NATO were to go in there by force and recover their territory this is what Ukraine and zelinski want they want us to fight and win the war for them and given America's position economic turmoil and suffrage I don't believe we should I was in Europe 3 months ago and I drove through France Sweden Germany Poland Italy and flew back from the UK and I can certainly tell you Ukraine's neighbors aren't concerned and the one that consistency I heard while I was there was from the other Europeans well America will take care of Ukraine for us LOL broadcast Herculean effort it our party and our president were practically powerless to get this past and it passed by the grit and sweat of people that worked in overtime to secure Ukraine's borders but not our own and our GOP colleagues are not going to let this slide I think it was a mistake certainly to pass this 95 billion Act of Charity a massive 95 billion corporate giveaway and not our own economy infrastructure communities American families are struggling and President Biden just gave Vladimir zelinsky a blank check.

When did the USA become the world bank?

Russian capacity to produce artillery shells it higher than all Nato countries combined

This excessive spending throughout the world is the reason our Social Security is about to go bankrupt we’re throwing money all over the world and not taking care of the needs of our citizens

Lieutenant Colonel Daniel L. Davies is talking out of both sides of his mouth while blowing smoke out of his rear end. Republicans and Democrats in Congress bicker constantly while Ukrainians die. What a strange, dysfunctional, contraption America has become - half of its leaders feverishly stomp on the gas pedal while the other half resolutely stomp on the brake. In a bygone era, 1942, having emerged from the worst economic depression in its history, America began a military build-up that astonished the world in its scope and complexity, yet Lt. Col. Davies would have us believe that ater three years of lead time its modern factories still cannot produce shells and missiles any faster than they already are - and adds insult to injury by claiming that Ukraine is doomed to fail anyway. The Pentagon doesn't want to see Putin humiliated because a defeat for Russia will drive it into a shotgun alliance with China - an alliance that would strengthen China's global position immensely..

Gerry Connolly is a joke of a human and a detriment to this country!

If you have a brain cell, you should know it's impossible to defeat Putin, Keep sending money to Zelensky can share it, but with his friends

Hey US and when will you guys get a free healthcare system? Cuba, that communist blocked county where people starve, already have a life expectancy bigger than you guys...🙄

ALL THE MONEY AMERICA HAS GIVEN TO UKRAINE AND ISRAEL SHOULD’VE BEEN GIVEN OUT AS A LOAN WITH HIGH INTEREST!!!

Joe Biden has donated billions of dollars from U.S. public funds, which are contributed by its private citizens, to Ukraine.

All of its citizens were left out of the vote.

The American government's budget deficit is 1,000B every year. But 5.7 B is too much for Trump But 61B for Ukraine is too little for Baiden

This Lt. Colonel is an idiot. He's plain wrong and wildly inconsistent.

Lie 🤥 that Russia 🇷🇺 is destroying Ukraine 🇺🇦
Watch Patrick Lancaster as he’s been on ground zero since 2014. He interviews the Ukrainian citizens and it’s not Russia destroying their homes, businesses, hospitals 🏥 and schools 🏫
Nothing but PROPAGANDA worse than any in history of America.
NATO is covering up their corruption of laundering millions, human trafficking, drugs and the 36 BioLabs being used for nefarious reasons.
USA 🇺🇸 does not belong in Ukraine❗️

We can take this ex colonel's word on things will turn out OR Gen Keane former US army chief of staff head of the War Institute . I'll take Keane's and former Gen Hodges . former NSA Kellog's etc

Sanctions for the disgusting countries that support Russia!!

As a senator from the US i vote to skim billions of dollars from my state to fund Nazis...what say yeee? Yeee, hear hear

Okay this is ridiculous, there are so many things that need to be fixed and adressed here in America and we’re basically carrying Ukraine’s back and giving 60 billion over there? I mean i get we’re allies but if we plan to go on like this, when other allies ask for help we’re going to be digging our own graves of debt.

Numbers of pro-Putin shills and traitors in the West are staggering.

Like pissing into the wind. All war is a waste of resources and life. Politicians should fight wars not soldiers.

I'm from Georgia and that Marjorie person doesn't represent Georgia

I'm really glad people like him didn't have power back in WW2 when Hitler held France and was bombing London day and night and had an iron grip on almost all of Europe. He would have argued to just let Hitler keep what he has. people talking like this gives Putin hope that if he kills enough people we will give up and let him keep what he has.

At last ! This writer opines that it is 2 ‘L” meaning “Too Little, Too Late” ! The aid package should have been in place at least 6 months ago ! The delay due to wrangling in the FSB influenced Congress cost Ukraine dearly and Comrade Putin made ‘hay out of sunshine”. Perhaps, the Republican “traitor” core of the Congress was afraid that they will be answerable in to the future in case Ukraine lost the war to Russia. Hence, their reluctant approval for the military aid package to Ukraine. Perhaps, aid to Israel should be ‘conditional” so as to prevent the massacre of ‘hapless’ Palestinians and to prevent the deliberate starvation imposed upon the West Bank. In Ukraine’s case however, it was Russia who invaded that neighboring country so as to put its tentacles to grab Europe after the capitulation of the Ukranians. The FBI should investigate the “traitors” who opposed military aid to Ukraine and these “quislings” benefited enormously from Russian FSB funds. The FSB was formerly known as 'Apparat N' the 'Agitation and Propaganda" Unit of KGB. Those Congressmen and Women who opposed military aid to Ukraine were obviously compromised by 'Apparat N'. However, “better late than never” in Ukraine’s case !

US funding of Ukraine war will only kill more Ukrainian and Ukrainian will lose more land to Russia... because NATO wated to test herself against Russia.. Ukraine is being played and being used...

Another scheme cooked up by the Dumbocrats, this money is laundered in Ukraine to get sent back to the Dumbocrats to buy the House in Nov, always everything is more than it seems

This Bill is arming up Taiwan in very much the same way the US has been arming up Ukraine. So what do we expect next for Taiwan??

This is just like the Cuban Missile Crisis like America didn't want nuclear weapons next to their border Russia doesn't want nuclear weapons next to their border

What a flaggrant waste of money

Throwing money to the wind... Won't change anything.

Great,more 60billions and after this,send more and more and more and leave homeless people with nothing.

Ukraine will not be able to do anything against the largest country in the world against Russia with this money. They will simply launder among themselves and live after the war like kings, and the poor Ukrainians will be refugees, that’s all.

I can't wait until this Fing piece of garbage Biden is gone in 8 months, We need Trump back bad, Before this country collapses.

Babies, People homeless, Starving, Dying in our country, And he gives 95 billion to other countries.

If The U.S. has $95 Billion to send to other countries, that proves the American people pay way too much taxes!!!

this is so corrupt

10 years after US supplied Artillery was given to Azov Thugs,
the death of Civilians in Donetsk still was being counted.
After removing the Avdivka threat, it is quieter.

The Artillery West of Donetsk can still reach the edge of Donetsk.
That source is slowly being stopped.

How long will American Citizens allow their Government to
buy a Merc Military to wear Russia down?

Don't complain people

Pay more taxes and stay free slaves

American citizens get screwed again.

And everyone in congress got their Raytheon board positions/campaign contributions..

60bln of aid to Ukraine but in reality only 23bln will go to ukraine because most of that money will be used to replenish the US military. Weird

This needs to end . Our borders are wide open. We need to end shoveling billions to Ukraine. While ignoing problems at home.

what about Americans' needs? Is Ukraine the 52nd States of America? The Congress are traitors to the people of America..

Thanks for every american standing up for freedom in europe!

We need to secure Europe

Hey if they take town by town allow them to try take some more ground and well see t he end of year look like ?

Not even saying this is the right thing to do because obviously they need rehab but with the money they spent on war they could have given $150,000 to EVERY 👏🏻 SINGLE 👏🏻 HOMELESS PERSON👏🏻 IN AMERICA!? The HUD reports around 653,000 homeless in America. Almost 100,000,000,000 divided by 653,000 DO THE MATH. And if you not down with the homeless they could have payed off half of all medical debt in America or not even put a dent in the 1.7 trillion student loan debt. America is gone, we’ve been completely invaded by war mongers that pretend to care about countries but fund perpetual wars killing their people for money. Then they pretend to care about the people but then can’t spare a dime to fix any of the problems here. They are lining their pockets at not only our expense but the worlds too.

Ukrain has lost already so why the mega-Uber- Huge money move by Congress?!? Because it’s ALL a SCAM that’s why

National Debt is $34 “Trillion” and they give 60 billion to Ukraine?.! This country is sick and way beyond repair. The rise and current collapse of the United States.😳

Comments are totally brainwashed by our western propaganda. The colonel is correct, Russia will have their way in Ukraine sooner or later, but they will not attempt to attack Western Europe.
