Where is the off ramp here? Despite billions and constant propaganda Russia is not going to lose this war on the battlefield.

How much money and how many people are we going to just send to their deaths just because prolonging the conflict weakens an adversary to US.

It’s really sad :(

Russia will lose any day now. Their army has been routed and they're constantly fleeing the lines. Hundreds of thousands of Russians are dead or zero-summed while Ukraine has no casualties. Ukraine is marching towards Moscow and this war will end with ~~Putin~~ Putler shooting himself in the head! Slava Ukraini!

Inb4 anyone calls me a tankie for supporting Biden sending tanks to Ukraine.

We were in Iraq for 20 years despite it being so unpopular and illegal

The off ramp is whenever the defense contractors start losing money and it's not profitable anymore

I am assuming you are an American, so I think you have sent no one.

Would you prefer that the world turn its back on Ukraine and let Russia continue to invade them without support?

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 55 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he would. There are lots of people who would rather bend over for Russia than think for one second. Putin has zero love for America and actively attacks our infrastructure and companies by sponsoring hackers. If you support Russia you are a traitor or an idiot.

Is this actual money in this case or is this more designated monetary amounts of goods, ie the worth of the guns and tanks and other things we've been giving them that were just collecting dust over here?

Because that's what most of the past monetary support was. No actual money was involved and so didn't really cost us anything.

Wait no more! https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/14/biden-administration-has-canceled-66-billion-in-student-debt.html

I'm frankly shocked conservatives are doing everything they can to prevent it!

An expansion of the Child Tax Credit that focuses on the 19 million children who are shut out of the full credit because their families’ incomes are too low would come at a modest cost. For example, making the current law $2,000 credit fully available to these children would cost roughly $12 billion per year in 2022, according to the Joint Tax Committee estimates.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Sure, we could end child poverty with a snap of our fingers, but what if we stoked the flames of global conflict so we could privatize and exploit the poorest country in Europe? All it costs is their dead children!

Can we go ahead and just declare a state of emergency on the climate crisis? Or do we need the rest of the states to burn down as well? Shit's getting me frustrated

He will get nothing, probably expects nothing, but the positive press is there. biden-troll

[-] jcit878@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

aid is good, but we need to stop dancing around and allow provided arms to be used cross border. or maybe itll take the deaths of another 250000 russian conscripts
