Just imagine if this $40 BILLION was spent on us Americans at home, or the $2+ TRILLION wasted on Afghanistan and Iraq.

@dmt02459 2 года назад

The total expenditures for the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are more like 4 to 6 trillion. According to Rachel Layne of CBS news: "Including the cost of interest on those wars will add an additional $2.1 trillion by 2030. And through 2050, the interest alone is forecast to top $6.5 trillion - even if war spending had theoretically stopped in 2019, according to research published last year from Heidi Peltier, director of the "20 Years of War" Project at Boston University's Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future."

Rand Paul was not involved and there is no evidence to support your insinuation. Treason is a crime that requires a real criminal charge from a federal DA. Not some accusation from a Democrat. If they had evidence, Rand would be charged. But there are no charges which means that there is no proof. Or the evidence doesn't prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Democrats also failed at impeaching Trump. Any person watching the impeachment trial, and who actually analyzed the house managers' case and the defense's case can only come to the reasonable conclusion that Trump did not incite violence. The defense points out Democrat hypocrisy, Democrats tampering with evidence, and Democrats cherrypicking law and history. Democrats created the Jan. 6th committee to investigate what happened on that day. It was never to seek criminal charges. According to Nancy. Yet Democrats are abusing confessional subpoena powers to target prominent Republicans.

We spend much more on useless things like Trump's failed wall or stuff like that did he whine back then? That money not spend to help Ukraine NOW means that Paul has blood on his hands...is he pro life? Of course not. We spend that money alongside our allies because we understand that letting the crisis get worse in the region will create more refugees and more security threats for America in the long run, all that put together will end up costing us much more. So we need to act NOW!

@@jay4you853 Russia did not attack nato or the USA. the USA has gone into other countries and taken over many times. if the USA and nato stayed out of it this family squabble between them and Ukraine this war would have been over and most of the infrastructure would not have been destroyed. nato and the USA are in a de facto war with Russia which is a nuclear super power. this is making the military-industrial complex more wealthy.
