When President Biden made a secret trip Monday to Ukraine marking the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he declared that the United States is going to back Ukraine as long as it takes.
"I thought it was critical that there not be any doubt, none whatsoever, about U.S. support for Ukraine in the war," Biden said, standing beside Ukrainian President President Volodymr Zelenskyy.
Biden announced a half a billion dollars of additional assistance to Ukraine including the delivery of "artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radars to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments."
But after Congress appropriated more than $112 billion in military and economic support in the space of a single year — and with no signs of an end to the conflict — polls show a growing number of Americans feel the United States is giving Ukraine too much.

We have a wide open southern border that is going to cost American tax payers for decades. We have homeless veterans, we have a failing infrastructure the is going to cost to repair. Why isn’t America looking after its citizens and our borders?

Over 2 million people have crossed our southern border and over 100,000 fentanyl deaths/ year since Biden took office. We have no idea how many people have crossed with out being caught. Many of these people aren’t immunized . In New York immigrants are pan handling. Because you ignore something and say it is getting better doesn’t make it so!

The left goal is to destroy the US. if that takes a war with Russia, they are good with that. The truth is that Ukraine is no better than Russia at all. The only difference is that Ukraine is the laundry mat where our political leaders launder our tax dollars back to their own accounts.
