    This Ukraine stuff is a war where 100.000 war crimes were reported, tens of thousands of civilians were killed raped and tortured, where hundreds of thousands of people lost their house.

    I wouldn’t say it’s $900 per household because

    1. It’s from the defense federal budget, that you would’ve spent anyways
    2. The aid packages, expressed in dollars, are the sum of the value of the equipment sent to Ukraine, in vast majority which US already had
    3. The defence budget is there to be able to stand against the strongest adversaries: China and Russia. USA basically annihilated one of their enemies’ army without a single drop of blood.

      You must be joking, 100K war crimes??? 10K rapes??? This isn’t Rwanda.

        You haven’t heard of hyperbole, clearly. But it’s not far from the truth. Russia commits war crimes every day. It’s all their military is good for. They can’t fight a real force, so they blow up and murder civilians instead. To claim otherwise is misinformed at best, actively dishonest at worst.

              You mean the one that Ukrainian Mi-17 fell on to? Or the one hit by an AD Ukrainian missile? 🤷🏼

                No, I mean this this, this, this and more. Thank you, have a nice day.

                P.S. Let’s not forget about the killing of innocent civilians in Bucha with their hands handcuffed

                  These are all either shot-down missiles (AD inside urban areas is a war crime, though) or failed/jammed AD missiles themselves.

                  It’s weird, then, that the US lapdogs ICC never mentioned Bucha as a pretext for the arrest warrant, don’t you think?
