The Biden administration is asking Congress to provide more than $13 billion in emergency defense aid to Ukraine and an additional $8 billion for humanitarian support through the end of the year.

    It’s honorable to help a sovereign nation protect itself against a power-hungry dictator

      Yes it’s honorable to wage a proxy war and use the lives of people thousands of miles away to further your own hegemony across the globe.

        That’s what you think is going on? The US asked putin to invade? Oh yea it was literally the opposite, with Biden begging Putin not to invade for weeks before he decided to do it anyway, yet here you are blaming the US for the suffering russia is inflicting on millions of innocent people

          Spoken like someone who has not been paying attention to what has gone on in the region since 2014.

        There’s no proxy war. You’re dehumanizing Ukrainians by denying their agency

          You’re either just gas lighting or just uneducated but it doesn’t matter. You’re full of balogne.

              Think one of those tanks ran over his brain, because there’s clearly no functional gray matter in that skull of his.

            That’s sounds suspiciously like the bologna of the bourgeoisie.

          Dude we were denying their agency in 2014 when we were helping install their new pro-EU government

            No, stating that a popular revolt against a corrupt leader is the result of our actions is denying their agency

              I never claimed the revolt itself was a result of their actions, I claimed that we were actively involved in installing their new government, which we were.
